What are tools?
Tools enhance LLM functionality by providing external software to perform tasks that LLMs can't do on their own. Some of those tools are searching the web, running Python programs, using a calculator, and many more.

Key takeaways from the video
- Remember: An LLM's information is fixed during training and may be out of date.
- Searching the web is not performed by the LLM itself. It is an external program that is part of the AI platform (e.g. ChatGPT) which fetches data from websites and feeds it back to the LLM before it continues processing the answer.
- The LLM has been trained to detect when recent information is needed. It stops outputting tokens and emits a special token to invoke the web search tool. The AI platform detects this token in the response and, instead of showing the user an answer, displays a message like "Searching the web…"
- Most AI chatbots now have web search enabled by default.
