OpenReview — Agent Harness Engineering: A Survey

OpenReview survey · source date 2026-05-14 · 0 comments · original

1. Problems / challenges / motivations - The paper argues that real-world LLM-agent reliability is often constrained less by the base model than by the execution harness around it: environment, tools, context, orchestration, observability, evaluation, and governance. - Prompt engineering and context engineering are no longer enough for production agents....

Anthropic — An update on recent Claude Code quality reports

engineering postmortem · source date 2026-04-23 · 0 comments · original

1. Problems / challenges / motivations - Anthropic describes Claude Code quality regressions caused by product-layer changes rather than a simple base-model failure. - Changes to reasoning effort, caching, and prompt instructions affected user experience in ways internal evals did not initially reproduce. - This exposes a common production-eval gap: offline...

AWS — Evaluating AI agents: real-world lessons from Amazon

engineering blog · source date 2026-02-18 · 0 comments · original

1. Problems / challenges / motivations - Production agents fail in ways that final-answer evals do not explain: wrong tool choice, weak memory retrieval, multi-step drift, brittle recovery, or incomplete task execution. - Black-box LLM scoring is insufficient when agent behavior depends on orchestration, tools, business rules, and runtime context. - Large...
