🧠Researchers prove that large language models fundamentally cannot perform causal discovery through standard training methods, establishing this limitation as intrinsic to supervised learning rather than a model-specific flaw. They propose Agentic Causal Bayesian Optimization (A-CBO), which bypasses this constraint by using frozen language models as query oracles within an external optimization loop, achieving superior performance on causal inference benchmarks.
