@Saboo_Shubham_: Google Research open-sources Harness2

Google Cloud AI Research released Harness2, a free, open-source framework that automatically improves the setup around an AI agent (its instructions, guardrails, memory, tools, skills and helper agents) without retraining the model. It tries changes on a task, compares the results and keeps lessons for next time. The researchers report gains of up to 11.5 points on work-style benchmarks; those are their own results, and it's research code, not a supported Google product.

Why it mattersIt's the direction agents are heading: the setup around the model matters as much as the model. Technical teams can learn from it; most businesses should take the idea, not the code.
