No, they're basically the same thing, intrinsically linked and inseparable. Likely represented together in training sets, too. I'm surprised anyone would say that. Are you a programmer?

Not really, they are primarily trained on LLM-generated trajectories from executable training environments.

So they're only similar now? I suppose, in the way that I learned how to solve bugs while learning to program and now I can fix similar ones? I guess we can now agree that LLMs are capable of learning and extrapolating knowledge to new problems?
