Harrison Chase comments on Ramp's custom agent harness design
Overview
Harrison Chase of LangChain says he agrees with Ramp's reasons for building its own agent harness, in a post on X. He says many agents now share similar internals and cites two of Ramp's reasons: model-agnostic design and owned observability.
He also points to three patterns he highlights in Ramp's design: a harness that has grown beyond a simple while loop, sandboxes used as a tool, and non-blocking async agents as the default. Chase also says LangChain is weighing Ramp's Connectors Service as an interface for its managed deepagents.
