SKIMIX: Multi-Agent Harness-Time Scaling with Skill Mixture for Dynamic Harness Engineering
AI agents increasingly rely on large skill libraries, but selecting, combining, and maintaining skills remains difficult. We propose SKIMIX, a multi-agent framework in which agents with different skill portfolios collaborate through iterative refinement. SKIMIX combines embedding-based skill retrieval, submodular anti-dilution routing, and adaptive skill evolution. Across six reasoning benchmarks, multi-agent collaboration substantially improves open-ended mathematical reasoning but offers limited or negative gains on multiple-choice tasks. Agent-count scaling is non-monotonic, and most improvements arise during the first refinement round. These results show that task characteristics determine whether skill-level ensembles help and provide practical guidance for scalable agent design.

JIT-Agent: Scaling Harness Intelligence via Just-in-Time Harness Evolution
Agent capability is not determined by the model alone. The agent harness, encompassing memory management, planning strategy, action protocol, and tool/skill orchestration, can dominate the contribution of the underlying …
From Model Scaling to System Scaling: Scaling the Harness in Agentic AI
This paper studies the next major bottleneck in agentic AI as system scaling, not only model scaling: the design of auditable, persistent, modular, and verifiable architectures around foundation models. We refer to this …
Rethinking the Evaluation of Harness Evolution for Agents
We revisit the evaluation of automatic harness evolution for LLM agents. Existing harness evolution methods use unit test cases to search for harness configurations and then report final performance on the same public be…
HarnessX: A Composable, Adaptive, and Evolvable Agent Harness Foundry
AI agent performance depends critically on the runtime harness, comprising the prompts, tools, memory, and control flow that mediate how a model observes, reasons, and acts. Yet today's harnesses remain largely hand-craf…
Reinforcement LearningScaling Laws for Agent Harnesses via Effective Feedback Compute
Agent harnesses shape language-model performance by controlling tool use, feedback, verification, memory, and repair. Yet raw test-time expenditure, such as tokens, tool calls, wall time, or cost, cannot distinguish usef…
