Yacine gave a talk on "the shapes of agents" at aiDotEngineer. Attendee alexio summed up three takeaways on where agents and harnesses go next:
- Context moves outside the model
- Harnesses start editing themselves
- By 2027 the outer loop closes: traces improve the harness, then the model
Yacine amplified the summary, calling the crowd smart and engaged.
