Lifting the covers of the #secretgarage 2 min Harnesses get dismissed as just scaffolding, just prompt engineering, and not real research. But that couldn't be farther from the truth. The same model weights that score 30% on ARC-AGI score 95% with a better harness. So we gathered a group of researchers and founders working at the frontier to do a deep dive into the state of harnesses. We'll cover how we got to this point, the case for making your harness as expressive as possible, and what YC learned building an agent for every employee in the company.
