HarnessPro method improves AI agent performance and cuts costs

A new method called HarnessPro has been developed to recursively improve AI agent harnesses, aiming to enhance task performance while simultaneously reducing execution costs. This label-free approach utilizes LLM-generated tests and trajectory diagnosis to plan and implement updates, offering specialized harnesses optimized for cost, balance, or performance based on deployment budgets. Experiments on benchmarks like Terminal-Bench 2 and SWE-Bench Pro demonstrated significant improvements in pass rates and cost reductions when using models such as GPT-5.5 with Codex. AI

IMPACT This method could lead to more efficient and cost-effective AI agents for various tasks.
