Introduction Large language model (LLM) agents are advanced AI systems that use LLMs as their central computational engine. They have the ability to perform specific actions, make decisions, and interact with external tools or systems autonomously. This allows them to handle complex tasks that require complex reasoning, unlike standard LLMs, which primarily focus on text-generation-based […] The post 15 Most Frequently Asked Questions About LLM Agents appeared first on Analytics Vidhya.

Effective cross-functional collaboration and communication heavily influence product launch success. Research shows that as many as 70% of product launches fail due to inadequate coordination among stakeholders, including supply chain, product management, legal, marketing, and change control teams (Gartner, 2022). The 2023 Supply Chain Insights Report highlights that 60% of supply chain disruptions are caused by poor communication and misalignment among cross-functional teams.

This work argues that hallucinations in language models are not just occasional errors but an inevitable feature of these systems. We demonstrate that hallucinations stem from the fundamental mathematical and logical structure of LLMs.
