Summary
The creator argues that no single agent harness is the best: how well a harness works depends on the model you use with it. He points to the FineEnvs Hugging Face guide on multi-harness reinforcement learning, which explains this in detail.
Key points
- There is no best harness in general.
- Harness performance depends on the model you pair it with.
- Multi-harness RL trains models across several harnesses, as covered in the FineEnvs guide.
