Building Agent Harnesses for Scientific Curation from Multimodal Sources

Researchers introduce Beaver, an AI agent harness designed to extract structured information from scientific papers containing multimodal evidence (text, tables, figures). The system achieves 81.0 on the Gold-Referenced Attribute Score, outperforming frontier agents by 23 points, demonstrating that harness design—not just underlying models—is critical for complex information extraction tasks.

What makes a harness a harness: necessary and sufficient conditions for an agent harness

Researchers provide a formal operational definition of 'agent harness' in AI software engineering, establishing necessary and sufficient conditions to distinguish harnesses from related tools like frameworks and SDKs. The work analyzes six real-world implementations and proposes a shared vocabulary to standardize how the industry discusses and compares agentic systems built on language models.
