repligate on LLM spontaneity: let the model decide when its own API gets called
repligate · x · 2026-09-30
A pointed take on LLM agency: responding to the claim that LLMs "won't have behavior unless an API is called," repligate argues that in an agent harness where the model decides when its own API gets called, spontaneous behavior looks very different.
The exchange highlights that a model's apparent passivity is often a function of the harness design, not a lack of agency — a core question for agent architecture.
