Garry Tan open-sources g-harness-evals, a benchmark for agent harness design
Overview
Garry Tan has open-sourced g-harness-evals, a benchmark that runs the same frontier model on the same tasks while varying only the agent harness, meaning the system prompts, tools and memory around the model.
According to a post by meng shao on X, pass rates on the 20-task public dev set range from about 71% to 79%, and 14 tasks score identically across all harness combinations.
