> We care about the harness, not the model or the prompts.

I wonder if this is a viable approach; after all frontier model providers are betting on the opposite.

Then again, they bundle their harness and offer subsidiary pricing - so maybe they themselves aren’t sure if models are as important.

my view on harness is that it is to capturing the structural mechanism with llm interacting the world. They are a dynamic duo evolving together. The technical depth will continue to grow (e.g. /goal being the new primitive, multi-agent collaboration is basic need) So it is here to stay. And it is just our focus as we don't have enough resource (yet) to improve the model and I think prompts belong to the user.
