> Computers are used to evaluate LLMs

LLMs run on computers and are thus constrained by the capacity of that which runs it. If the system running the LLM has no network and no software or software-tooling, how does the LLM's generated text take action on a system(computer) that requires software to do anything?

Also, I absolutely agree LLMs are not software, and thats my point. LLMs without supporting software tooling surrounding it cannot do anything but print text. And even the printing of that text happens through software

The answer is: It's irrelevant, because no one runs LLMs on systems without networks or missiles or some other way to "take action" because that would be pointless.
