As large language models (LLMs) evolve from static responders into autonomous actors, developers are facing a new kind of systems challenge: building infrastructure that can support reasoning, decision-making, and continuous action.

That’s what MIT researchers found in a June study currently awaiting peer review, which we covered previously. Even the presence of colorful or emotional language, they discovered, was
