The author shares insights on building effective agent harnesses: the best ones minimize LLM reliance for trivial tasks and reserve LLMs for complex reasoning, distinguishing genuine harnesses from simple wrappers.
From Model Scaling to System Scaling: Scaling the Harness in Agentic AI
This paper argues that advancing agentic AI requires scaling the system architecture around foundation models, focusing on auditable, modular, and verifiable components. The authors introduce CheetahClaws, a reference harness, and outline bottlenecks in context governance, trustworthy memory, and dynamic skill routing.
