When an AI agent fails to complete a task, upgrading the model can seem like the obvious next step. Yet an agent’s performance also depends on how it receives instructions, uses tools, and manages its work. Understanding those factors can reveal opportunities to improve reliability with the model already in place. Google Research’s Harness² examines […] The post Harness²: Improving AI...
