Google open-sources Harness²: agents that rewrite their own harness on unseen tasks, with frozen weights and no labels
Google Cloud AI Research just open-sourced Harness², a framework that improves an agent without touching the model. Instead of fine-tuning, the agent rewrites its own harness: prompts, tools, memory, skills and orchestration. The core idea is a contrastive Propose-Probe-Compose step. The agent runs…
