This talk explores the architecture and development of coding agents, emphasizing the crucial role of the "harness" – the interface layer that connects models to users and tools. It highlights the rapid evolution of AI models and the challenges in adapting agents, proposing that building models and harnesses together, as exemplified by OpenAI's Codeex, offers a more robust and future-proof approach. The discussion also touches upon emerging patterns for integrating these agents into various products and workflows.
