- The team open-sourced PenguinHarness, a TypeScript harness for building and improving AI agents.
- They pitch it as an automated agent builder that runs on your desktop and can let agents create and optimize other agents.
- The project claims you can turn one prompt into a RAG app for $0.02, then close the loop with data, evals, and evolution.
- It supports 1,000+ models with local deployment and is available on GitHub: Prism-Shadow/penguin-harness.
