We're launching our first-ever workshop, and we have a lot more planned. If there's a topic you'd love us to cover, hit reply. First up: Harness Engineering. Prompt engineering taught us to write better inputs. Context engineering taught us to structure better information.

By
–
You can now make coding agents 10% smarter without touching the model. Coding agents rely on a "harness" of prompts, tools, and configurations that shape how they work. Tuning this harness is usually manual, slow, and breaks easily. A new paper introduces Agentic Harness

Frontier Model APIs vs Native Apps: A Growing Capability Gap
By
–
Increasingly, I think, we will see a gap between what you can do with frontier model APIs & what you can do with the native apps from the frontier labs (Codex, Claude Code). Models developed and trained with their native harnesses in mind have more capabilities in their harnesses
