EnvHarness: Awakening Static Worlds for Agent Learning
Quick summary
arXiv:2608.19880v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: LLM agents learn by interacting with environments, yet these environments are hand-built and static: blind to an agent's weaknesses, and quickly left behind as it improves. While recent environment generation methods attempt to address this, they require domain-specific pipelines, rely on expensive or unreliable verifiers, and still produce static environments. To alleviate the engineering burden of rebuilding environments from scratch, we propose Environment Harness (EnvHarness), a programmable layer of plug-in components that wraps a static env
