Jensen Huang offered a concise definition of the agent harness in a recent interview:
- AI starts with software, and over the past year the industry began by talking about LLMs.
- What made LLMs useful was wrapping them in an "exoskeleton" — the agent harness.
- The harness gives the brain the parts it needs to solve problems: retrieving knowledge, working memory, tool use, and collaboration.
