Could they one day solve optimization problems on their own?
Large language models are increasingly described as capable of reasoning and planning. In this webinar, we'll put that question to the test by examining what LLMs and solvers each do under the hood, where the line between probabilistic reasoning and rigorous planning really sits, and what happens when you ask an LLM to take on work a solver was built for.

Anna Collins
Optimization Strategist

Dr. Anna Collins holds a Ph.D. in Artificial Intelligence and Optimization from King’s College London, where her research focused on mathematical programming for complex planning problems. She’s passionate about making optimization accessible — whether by helping industry teams solve real-world problems with math, or guiding researchers as they scale up from theory to application.
Before joining Gurobi, she worked at a digital health startup, where she applied advanced modeling techniques to clinical and operational challenges in fertility care.
In her free time, she enjoys hiking, finding the ocean (even though she lives in Berlin), and playing Padel with friends.
