very cool
a 2-3x speed up in training by essentially letting the model learn more flexibly in its early stages than rigid regimes
sort of akin to how homeschooling is much better for some kids than factory education

The article discusses a Hugging Face experiment where an automated loop rewrites only the code (harness) around a frozen model, raising its benchmark score from 0% to near Sonnet 4.6 at lower cost, demonstrating that many benchmark failures stem from the harness, not the model itself.
