Training models on agent harnesses leverages general capabilities for domain-specific intuition

The author suggests that training a model to use a coding agent harness is a smart strategy. It allows directing general model capabilities into specific domains, such as scientific intuition, rather than competing head-to-head on coding prowess. Every AI lab should determine their own 'tilt' to exploit specific advantages while leveraging general foundation models.
