Jurassic-X: Crossing the neuro-symbolic chasm with the MRKL system

AI21 Labs presents the Modular Reasoning, Knowledge and Language (MRKL) system, a neuro-symbolic architecture designed to enhance large language models. Implemented as Jurassic-X, this system augments an LLM by integrating it with external knowledge sources and symbolic reasoning experts. By routing specific queries to appropriate modules like a calculator or a real-time data API, MRKL systems can overcome the inherent limitations of standalone language models. This allows for accurate mathematical calculations, access to current information, and the ability to query private databases using natural language, increasing both capability and user trust.
