New framework automates agent harness optimization

A developer has built a framework designed to automate the optimization of AI agent harnesses—the control scaffolding that manages planning, tool calls, work verification, and error recovery around large language models. The framework's optimization capabilities were demonstrated on Terminal-Bench, a highly demanding benchmark for terminal-based agentic tasks.

// ANALYSIS

Automated harness optimization represents a significant shift from manual prompt engineering to algorithmic tuning of agentic systems. By systematically adjusting execution scaffolding rather than modifying underlying model weights, developers can yield massive performance gains on complex benchmarks.

–Automated optimization shifts focus from manual prompt tweaks to algorithmic optimization of agent execution flows.
–Harnesses are critical bottleneck areas where minor adjustments in verification and recovery logic translate to huge score improvements.
–Terminal-Bench provides a highly robust testbed due to its script-verified outcomes.

Rosebud AI details 3D animation pipeline

Rosebud AI has detailed a simplified 3D game development pipeline utilizing Hunyuan3D, Meshy, or Tripo for mesh generation and Anthropic's Claude Fable 5 for automated rigging, skin weighting, and animation. The Rosebud platform is then used to manage assets and host or edit the resulting game code on a local server.

"Supermemory launches an AI-powered workspace to curate and search bookmarks"

CodeRabbit has launched CodeRabbit Agent for Slack, an AI-powered assistant designed to serve as a persistent "second brain" for engineering teams. Positioned to combat "AI amnesia"—where coding tools start tasks without the benefit of team decisions, stack details, or historical context—the agent aggregates data from across developers' workspaces including GitHub, Jira, Linear, Notion, AWS, and Slack. Operating inside Slack, it enables developers to investigate production issues, turn chat threads into pull requests, and manage software development tasks while building a durable, evolving knowledge base.

Claude Fable 5 autonomously optimizes website

A user shared a demonstration of Anthropic's Claude Fable 5 model executing an autonomous dynamic workflow to review and improve their AI podcast website. Over a 1.5-hour period (consuming 85% of the user's 5-hour limit), the model worked autonomously to optimize the site's SEO, user experience, and discoverability, highlighting the real-world utility of Fable 5's long-horizon planning and execution capabilities.
