@trajectorylabs The trainable object question is the one I'd want more from. Corrections into weights compound across customers, corrections into context are just prompt engineering with extra steps.

@trajectorylabs This is the same gap I see with people, not just models. You can get a very smart first draft on day one. You still don’t have the person (or the model) who has sat through the ugly version of the work.

@trajectorylabs Honestly, spotting a real correction versus a retry that just happened to work seems harder than tracing the tree in the first place.

@trajectorylabs The experience gap cuts both ways: models learn bad patterns as fast as good ones. How does your system correct wrong behavior once it gets reinforced into the harness?

An agent is three things: a harness, a model, and context. If you're serious about owning your intelligence, you probably want to own all three. LangChain founder Harrison Chase joined us at our Sequoia Capital Own Your Intelligence to talk about the piece that often gets the least attention: the harness. He offers a clear heuristic for when to build your own. The more out of distribution you are from what the models were trained on, the more you'll want to customize. And good technical content on how to actually measure performance with evals and langsmith. 00:00 Introduction 00:58 The three parts of an agent: harness, model, context 02:12 What a harness actually does 03:25 Customizing the core loop with middleware 04:41 Sandboxes, file systems, sub-agents, summarization 05:47 Cognitive architectures — and when you still need them 07:03 Build your own harness or use off the shelf? 08:24 In-distribution vs. out-of-distribution: the file-editing example 09:39 Why evals define what "good" means in an organization 11:04 Harbor: what an eval task actually looks like 12:11 Comparing harnesses and models on accuracy, latency, and cost 13:20 Why observability is underrated — it's usually the context 14:34 The data flywheel: traces → curation → experiments 15:42 Getting feedback through UX design and online evaluators 16:51 Demo: LangSmith Engine 19:23 Q&A: Running Engine on Engine, and "codex-ification" 20:44 Q&A: Will harnesses converge or diverge?

When Mudith Jayasekara and I met Gabe Pereyra, we were expecting just another vanilla intro call and instead had the best yarn about research, the state of LLMs, and where intelligence is actually heading. It's rare to meet a founder this deep in the weeds who's also building for one of the most important verticals in this new age of intelligence So it was awesome to sit down with Gabe for an extended discussion on what it take to build agents that can reliably complete work over hours, days, or even longer? We talked about why agents today struggle with search and long context windows and how techniques like KV-cache compaction, synthetic data, and continual learning could help. 0:00 Introduction 0:36 Getting legal agents to review the whole data room 2:08 Data rooms larger than any context window 5:28 How far open-source models can go 7:58 Where specialist models fit in legal AI 10:59 Training legal models when client data is off-limits 13:06 Teaching a model how a law firm works 13:59 What belongs in context vs. model weights 15:36 From firm-wide AI to a model for every lawyer 18:37 What training adds beyond retrieving the right cases 20:26 Why context windows have plateaued 24:01 How models could learn continuously on the job 26:12 Can AI recursively improve AI research? 27:07 Research agents can run experiments but not choose them 30:00 Why open-ended research is hard to train 33:47 Why deployment, not intelligence, is the bottleneck 35:08 The cost of frontier intelligence 36:59 Different neolabs, different paths to intelligence 39:26 Using open datasets to compare research methods 41:13 Conclusion

OWN YOUR INTELLIGENCE Last year, building on open-weight models was primarily a cost rationalization exercise. Slightly worse performance for a much cheaper price. Now, it is increasingly an existential and strategic topic for our portfolio. Intelligence is the product. Companies want to shape it and own it and let it compound within their own walls. Not your weights, not your product. Now, with frontier open-weight models and fantastic tooling/infrastructure, owning your intelligence at the frontier is finally becoming possible. The result: every application company we work with is embarking on the journey of doing their own research on post-training, evals, harnesses, etc. The hottest neolabs may just be Harvey, Factory, RamPrasad "RamP!" Moudgalya, etc. The list goes on. We held a summit Sequoia Capital to convene our portfolio on this topic, together with Gabe Pereyra (Harvey) on building Harvey Labs, Lin Qiao (Fireworks) on post-training, Harrison Chase (LangChain) on harnesses + evals, Brendan (can/do) () on RL environments and synthetic data, Arjun Karanam (Trajectory) on online continual learning. Opening talk below; rest to come this week! 00:00 What is sovereign AI (and what it isn't) 01:24 Centralized vs. decentralized intelligence 02:54 Four reasons companies own their models: cost, speed, performance, destiny 04:22 "Not your weights, not your product" 05:32 The application companies are the newest neo labs 07:05 Step 1: Deciding what to own vs. rent 09:51 Step 2: Build the team (and don't shoehorn your platform team) 11:17 Step 3: Legibility – why your research has to be visible 12:33 Step 4: The technical roadmap 13:56 The stack: production vs. development 15:16 Opening Pandora's box – base models, harnesses, context

I'm often asked for the best public example of AI evals done right for a real, production product. I finally have an answer. Teresa Torres shares how she shipped an AI interview coach, and used evals to rapidly squash bugs and improve the product. Teresa shows how she: 1. did error analysis FIRST to find real issues (instead of using generic metrics) 😍 2. used Jupyter notebooks to analyze errors 3. built custom annotation tools + custom widgets in notebooks 4. built a LLM-judge and assertions to test for specific errors 5. iterated through this feedback loop until it worked. 6. kept things simple the whole time It's also probably the best commercial for Jupyter notebooks you can imagine. 🥰 Chapter summary below.

Loved this 22-minute talk on continual learning for AI agents. Must watch for anyone looking to get agents performant and into production. Credit: Soheil Feizi at AI Engineer • Agent learning can happen at three layers: the model (weights), the harness (prompts, tools, skills, code, workflows), and memory (session or persistent). • Two fundamental challenges: (1) getting feedback, meaning how do we know if the agent did well and what it should have done instead, and (2) acting on that feedback, meaning deciding which layer or component to change and how. • Feedback sources differ by stage: In development you have benchmarks with evaluators that score pass/fail. In production you only have logs, which can be judged either automatically (LLMs or code analyzing the log, which is scalable) or by human experts (low volume but critical domain knowledge). • Logs plus feedback aren't enough because they're not testable: A single log with feedback is one observation of what happened. You need to lift it into a replayable learning environment, a simulation with tools, users, and defined evaluators, so candidate fixes can be run, verified, and compared. • Three ways to optimize the agent, with tradeoffs: Model-layer updates (SFT, RL post-training like DPO/GRPO, LoRA) are expensive and need benchmarks and evaluators. Harness updates (trace-to-harness coding agents, prompt search like GEPA) are flexible but either untestable and "vibe-based" or benchmark-dependent. Memory updates (fact storage like Letta/Mem0, skill distillation) are cheapest and fastest but usually unverified. • A good learning engine makes "the smallest durable change at the right layer" of the agent. • Verifiable continual learning (VCL): Improve an agent from its own experience where every fix is proven to help and proven to break nothing that already worked. It requires an executable test (replayable failure), a measured delta (score before and after), and regression tests (prior tests still pass). • Four principles of practical VCL: Replayability (turn one-off failures into rerunnable tests), holisticness (one failure can have causes in memory, prompts, tools, workflow, or model, so route the fix to the right layer), lifelongness (fix new failures subject to no regression on past environments, with regression handled inside the optimization loop rather than post-hoc), and efficiency (the loop must run frequently and cheaply, without scaling linearly as past environments accumulate). • Three takeaways: (1) Agent continual learning isn't necessarily fine-tuning; many useful updates live in the harness and memory layers. (2) Production logs are not learning environments and must be transformed into replayable ones. (3) The frontier is regression-aware improvement: fixing new failures while verifying you don't break old ones.

Yoshua Bengio thinks he knows how to make provably safe superintelligent agents. Bengio built the foundations of modern AI and is the most cited living scientist. He believes his alternative training setup would: 1. Guarantee honesty 2. Prevent unintended goals 3. Produce capable agents 4. Port over most data and techniques from current LLMs 5. Not be inherently more expensive, and perhaps be more intelligent Bengio claims the honesty and lack of unintended goals can be proven mathematically, at least given particular assumptions. And his new organization, LawZero, is aiming to build a scrappy prototype as soon as possible. The architecture is called 'Scientist AI' and it's based on training a model to explain empirical observations, including what people say, rather than training AIs that mimic human behaviour or seek our approval. (Bengio's frank assessment is that "reinforcement learning is evil" and that allowing AIs to independently train their successors is "the most crazy, dangerous bet that unfortunately we are on track to do.") But skeptics question whether Scientist AI really does solve the fundamental problem of 'eliciting latent knowledge' from AI models. And with the commercial race for superintelligence so intense, it's not clear whether the proposal will be able to compete or have time to bear fruit, even if it's sound in theory.

Harnesses often get dismissed as just scaffolding, just prompt engineering, and not real research. But that couldn't be farther from the truth. The same model weights that score 30% on ARC-AGI score 95% with a better harness. So we gathered a group of researchers and founders working at the frontier to do a deep dive into the state of harnesses. We cover how we got to this point, the case for making your harness as expressive as possible, and what YC learned building an agent for every employee in the company. 00:00 - Francois Chaubard: Why harnesses matter 04:27 - Building an auto-researcher by accident 07:13 - A five minute history of harnesses 13:56 - Self-improving harnesses 18:35 - Seth Karten: Prime Agent, a self-improving RLM harness 21:50 - Context as an L1, L2, L3 cache 24:51 - From Turing machine to von Neumann computer 28:33 - Messaging between agents 30:04 - ARC-AGI results 33:09 - Emulator Bench and GPU kernels 37:30 - Jon Saad-Falcon: OpenJarvis, personal AI on personal devices 38:26 - How far behind are local models 39:21 - The five primitives of a personal AI stack 42:47 - Letting cloud models optimize your local stack 43:53 - 800x cheaper than the cloud 45:58 - Josh France and Regan Bell: QM, YC's agent harness for work 47:29 - A history of YC's internal agents 49:24 - OpenClaw and a fleet of 50 agents 51:04 - Pulling the brain out of the sandbox 54:43 - Letting the agent choose its own sandbox and model 57:16 - The grind tool: budgets on goals 58:50 - Agents don't understand social context
