Is the Claude Code harness improving faster than its models?
charango · reddit · 2026-09-16
A Reddit post links a Substack essay arguing that Claude Code's harness has visibly improved over recent weeks, even as the underlying models may feel flat or slightly worse. The author speculates this could mean more resources thrown at the tool, an internal new model being tested, or access to Astra. Commenters echo the observation and debate whether perceived model decay is real or psychosomatic.
