The main difference is that LLMs are a black box while CYC is an explicit and thoughtful map of reason and relations. I would love to see the two mix.

There's an interesting (& long!) recent Lex Fridman interview with Doug Lenat here:

Lenat thought CYC and neural nets could be complementary, with neural nets providing right brain/fast thinking capability, and CYC left brain/slow (analytic/reflective) thinking capability.

It's odd to see Lenat discuss CYC the way he does - as if 40 years on everything was still going well despite it having dropped off the public radar twenty years ago.
