Researchers have developed Task-CoEvolve, a new method for optimizing large language model (LLM) agent harnesses. This approach adaptively selects validation tasks during the optimization process, focusing on tasks that are most informative for distinguishing between different harness versions. By co-evolving validation tasks with the harness and estimating full-set performance from partial evaluations, Task-CoEvolve significantly reduces evaluation costs. Experiments demonstrated that Task-CoEvolve achieved comparable final performance to full-set search while cutting down evaluation needs by 80% on tasks like text classification and the Terminal-Bench 2.1 benchmark.
