Conclusion Resources Introduction The past decade has been dominated by large language models (LLMs)—transformer‑based neural networks trained on massive corpora of text. Their ability to generate coherent prose, answer questions, and even write code has reshaped industries ranging from content creation to software development. Yet, as we approach the middle of the 2020s, a new paradigm is emerging: Agentic Reasoning Frameworks (ARFs). ...
