Self-Evolving Systems
The harness around the model matters as much as the model itself. A 6x performance gap exists between the best and worst harness for the same weights. Hand-engineering harnesses is the status quo. It shouldn't be.
Core Capability
Design, run, and audit self-improvement loops for any agentic system component — workflows, prompts, retrieval logic, memory management, orchestration patterns. Uses the MetaHarness methodology: a coding-agent proposer that inspects prior code + execution traces, diagnoses failure modes, proposes targeted edits or full rewrites, and iterates until the system converges on Pareto-optimal performance.
This is not self-correction (recovering from errors). This is self-evolution (permanently improving the system).
