OpenForge RL brings end-to-end training to harness-based AI agents
burkov · x · 2026-07-26
Modern AI agents increasingly depend on elaborate inference harnesses such as Claude Code or Codex to handle multi-turn reasoning, tool use, and access to external systems.
The paper argues that these stateful, multi-process harnesses are hard to train end-to-end with today’s open SFT/RL stacks, because they cannot naturally express that kind of inference setup. To address that gap, researchers from Columbia and Microsoft present OpenForge RL, an open-source framework for training harness-based agents end-to-end across diverse environments.
