HarnessMM cuts agent tokens per task by up to 88% while raising success rates

omarsar0 · x · 2026-10-26

A Tsinghua/Microsoft Research Asia paper proposes HarnessMM, which stores settled decisions in an Executable Decision Graph and reuses them when guard conditions hold, avoiding redundant model calls after tool feedback. A recursive self-improvement loop tunes the harness config without touching model weights. On a DeepSeek harness, tokens per task fall from 96.28k to 11.62k (87.93% savings) while success rises from 71.43% to 85.71%; on Codex/HumanEval tokens drop 26.52% with a 29.82% saving reported. Ablations show reuse is 26.91% cheaper than single calls plus callbacks.
