So an agent here is the combination of a system prompt and a configured set of tools, kind of like an OpenAI "GPT"?


No, a chat bot using tools (e.g. GPTs) is an "assistant."

An LLM agent is not a chat bot, unlike an assistant. It is a primarily or fully autonomous LLM driven application which "chats" primarily with itself and/or other agents.

In other words, assistants primarily interact with humans while agents primarily interact with themselves and other agents.


I'm going to make the availability of requestFeedback function a boolean flag, so when running benchmark suites etc it can be disabled. Whether its an assistant or agent by that definition is just really a parameter value.
