Agent harnesses, which surround large language models to enable them to perform tasks, significantly impact their performance, according to research. A study from Peking University found that the best agent harness scored 76.2 on tasks, while the worst scored 52.4, highlighting the harness's crucial role over the model itself. Further experiments at Princeton demonstrated that providing models with less context, such as showing only a hundred lines of code at a time, improved their ability to fix real-world issues. AI
