Omar Sar0 countered the notion that there is no alpha in customizing models, arguing that people underestimate how deeply harnesses and models go hand-in-hand. He emphasized that building and engineering a harness is a crucial skill for the future. Citing Pi as an example, he noted how its architecture encourages the creation of micro-harnesses like plugins, especially around recursive self-improvement and proactive agents.
