Harness Engineering is using a durable set of components to apply an LLM to an AI-ready Workspace.

Harness Engineering is the practice of managing the inputs, outputs and sensors surrounding a large language model using control theory to reach a desired outcome. The industry writing agrees than an Agent is the Model and the Harness (Agent = Model + Harness). Birgitta Böckeler of Thoughtworks defines a Harness as "everything but the model."

Harness Engineering is the practice of managing the inputs, outputs and sensors surrounding a large language model using control theory to reach a desired outcome. The concepts are nearly 200 years old with James Maxwell describing the use of governors to control the speed of steam engines. The new steam engine is the LLM.
