Traditional language models rely on transformer architectures, which excel at pattern recognition and language generation. They are particularly effective for a variety of tasks such as text generation, translation, and summarization.
However — when it comes to agentic use cases, situations where the model needs to perform actions, make decisions, or interact with tools — transformer-based LLMs face significant challenges.
The neuro-symbolic approach bridges the gap between the flexibility of neural networks and the precision of symbolic logic. By merging neural networks with symbolic reasoning, Apollo-1 offers several key advantages.
At the heart of Apollo-1’s capabilities lies the Structured Interaction State. This state is a symbolic, parameterized representation of each interaction, created by collecting and organizing sensory data.
By converting unstructured inputs into a structured format, Apollo-1 achieves a higher level of understanding and precision in its responses.
Combining generative and rule-based approaches minimizes the risks typically associated with AI outputs.
