Harness Scaling
Harness scaling is the systematic enhancement of the external execution and control runtime surrounding an autonomous agent without modifying the underlying model weights. Rather than substituting for model scaling, harness scaling investigates how much of an agent's latent capability can be converted into finished, reliable work by tracking durable state, constraining action execution, verifying task progress, and recovering from errors.
