Industry experts suggest that the choice between these two isn't necessarily "build vs. buy," but rather a matter of risk management:
* Companies may prefer AWS’s execution-focused approach to experiment and iterate quickly.
* Companies handling revenue-driving or high-stakes workflows will likely require Google’s centralized control and governance model to ensure reliability and security.
This paper introduces Natural-Language Agent Harnesses (NLAHs) – a new approach to AI agent harness design. NLAHs use editable natural language, improving portability and study, unlike traditional code-embedded harnesses. The authors also present the Intelligent Harness Runtime (IHR) and demonstrate viability through coding/computer-use benchmarks.
