The model is the brain, the harness gives it hands: advantage shifts to what you build around it
Olivier__OG · x · 2026-09-30
Echoing GenAI architect Bunty Shah: Claude, GPT and Gemini don't do everything — the model only provides intelligence, while the harness supplies tools, context, permissions, and the act-observe-retry loop. That's why the same model feels brilliant in one app and frustrating in another. The competitive moat is shifting from which model you pick to what you build around it.
