6 Conclusion

  1. What limitations and risks of ReAct do Yao et al. note?
    Complex tasks with large action spaces need more demonstrations than fit in the context window, so more training data and fine-tuning are needed; and connecting language models to real actions risks retrieving private information or doing harm, which they limited by using only Wikipedia and a simulated shop.
