New survey frames code as core infrastructure for AI agents

A new survey paper introduces the concept of "code as agent harness," proposing that code should be viewed as the fundamental infrastructure for AI agent systems. This perspective organizes research into three layers: the harness interface connecting agents to reasoning and action, harness mechanisms like planning and memory for execution, and scaling these harnesses to multi-agent coordination. The paper highlights applications across various domains and outlines open challenges in areas such as evaluation, verification, and safety. AI

IMPACT Proposes a unified framework for developing more robust and verifiable AI agent systems by centering code as their foundational infrastructure.

    Code as Agent Harness

    Recent large language models (LLMs) have demonstrated strong capabilities in understanding and generating code, from competitive programming to repository-level software engineering. In emerging agentic systems, code is no longer only a target output. It increasingly serves as an…
