Slides and audio shared from a colloquium on LLM 'thinking traces'

Subbarao Kambhampati shared slides and audio from his October 19, 2026, University of Minnesota computer science colloquium, titled 'On the Mythos of LLM “Thinking Traces.”' His slides argue that LLMs cannot plan autonomously and that techniques including chain-of-thought prompting, ReAct and fine-tuning do not help much because they do not generalize enough.
