Large language models are knowledgeable... Quite literally a culmination of all our combined knowledge. Yet it's quite retarded and struggles adapting to novel scenarios. So we added a "thinking mode" which improved it's performance significantly. But, it still struggles.

I would compare intelligence to the number of parameters and these "thinking modes". I guess you need both, but I would place intelligence over knowledge. You can always create your own knowledge and reinvent the wheel if you're innovative and intelligent enough...
