## Key data

- **Papers:** 10
- **Field:** large language model agents planning
- **Updated:** 2026-06-15

Large language model (LLM) agents planning has matured from *single-step prompting* into a broader research area spanning task decomposition, tool use, reflection, memory, and multi-agent coordination. Across the surveyed papers, a consistent theme is that LLMs are strongest when used as *planners embedded in systems*, rather than as standalone reasoners.[1][4][8]
