ReAct (Reasoning + Acting)

Thought → Action → Observation loop. Foundation of tool use and agents.

3 hours2 resources1 prereqs

The model writes a 'thought', picks an 'action' (tool call), gets an 'observation' back, writes a new thought… until done.

Why it matters: Beyond closed-loop reasoning, ReAct lets the model pull info from the real world to solve problems. Foundation of modern tool-use APIs (Anthropic tools, OpenAI function calling).
