Living-Harness Is an Interactive-Agent Evolver
Quick summary
arXiv:2607.26598v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large language model (LLM) agents may recover from a failure within an episode or after a retry, yet the same execution failure can recur in later tasks because post-episode feedback rarely revises the persistent harness that guides future interactions. Static harnesses improve reliability through fixed tools, context, memory, and workflow structures, but remain unchanged after deployment. We propose $\textbf{Living-Harness}$, a self-evolving agent harness that converts each completed trajectory and its evaluator signals into posterior evidence

Why it matters
This model development creates a new option for users and a new testing obligation for developers. A fixed evaluation set comparing quality, cost and failure behavior is more useful than launch claims.
