Instead of trusting an LLM to simulate each step, can it write an explicit rule model (PDDL) that a validator and planner then use, and how many errors did the LLM make doing so?

Partially verified: the curator re-read none of the cited sources; S3 rests on the producer's pinned reading. Guan et al. (NeurIPS 2023, arXiv 2305.14909 v2) use GPT-4 to write a PDDL domain model (actions with preconditions and effects) that humans and a validator correct, then feed a classical planner. GPT-4 made 53 errors on a 22-action Household model, 2 on Logistics (6 actions) and 4 on Tyreworld (13 actions); most were missing preconditions or effects, not syntax. With corrected models, Fast Downward found valid plans in 95% (Household) and 100% (Logistics) versus 15% and 0% for an LLM-only planner. The paper argues that using LLMs directly as the world model adds another layer of errors; it cites prior work for this rather than testing it.
