• 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.

Weng reframes the AI coding conversation from prompting tricks to the harness itself—the scaffolding that lets a system improve the machinery producing its own intelligence, tracing the idea from Good's 1965 ultraintelligent machine through Yudkowsky's recursive feedback loop. Read this if you're building agentic tooling and want to think structurally about where self-improvement loops actually close, not just how to squeeze one more good completion out of a model.
