open weights — A model whose trained parameters are published for anyone to download and run — unlike API-only models you can access but never possess.
agent harness — The scaffolding around a model that turns it into a working agent — the loop, the tools it can call, and the rules for when to stop.
benchmark — A standard public test set for comparing AI models — the shared scoreboards behind every "model X beats model Y" claim.
