An LLM is not an agent by itself. It can reason. It can write code. It can plan. But it cannot act. It has no way to read files, run commands, call APIs, remember what it did last session, or coordinate with other models. OpenHarness is an open-source agent harness built to give LLMs everything they need to operate as real agents.

AI agent platforms and AI agent builders are transforming how businesses automate workflows, enhance productivity, and develop intelligent assistants. In 2026, several AI-powered tools stand out for their advanced capabilities, ease of use, and integration support.
Stripe runs the world's largest Ruby codebase. The pain of not having an auto-formatter was visible in how its engineers worked. In 2022, the company set two engineers from its infrastructure team to work full-time on rubyfmt, a tool that is currently being used to format 100% of Stripe's 42 million lines of Ruby. This post tells the story of how rubyfmt came to be.
The PR for a new Array data type for Redis took four months to create using AI assistance. AI tools allowed the developer working on the code to venture into a level of complexity they would have otherwise skipped. They helped make tasks easier and less tedious while also providing a virtual workforce that could reveal bugs in complicated algorithms.
This post presents a mental model that applies everywhere in agentic systems that works because the architecture underneath the tools is always the same.

AI News:
Anthropic announced a joint venture today valued at $1.5 billion with Blackstone, Hellman & Friedman, and Goldman Sachs focusing on enterprise AI services. Coincidentally, OpenAI is reportedly raising funds for its own new venture called The Development Company, aiming to raise $4 billion from 19 investors against a $10 billion valuation

PayPal and Palantir founder Peter Thiel just led a $140M Series B for Panthalassa, an Oregon-based startup that builds autonomous floating compute structures powered by ocean waves — reportedly valuing the company at nearly $1B. Each 85-meter steel node bobs in open ocean, converting wave motion into electricity for onboard AI chips, all cooled naturally by seawater.
Amazon’s made quite the business out of its fast shipping options… and now it’s turning it into a business. The new Amazon Supply Chain Services (ASCS) will offer freight, distribution, fulfillment, and parcel shipping to businesses “of all types and sizes,” directly competing with giants like DHL, UPS, and FedEx.
Anthropic co-founder Jack Clark published a new blog post on self-improving AI, putting 60%+ odds on AI systems training their own successors before 2029, citing public data showing AI is already handling a range of core R&D tasks. Clark built the case on public papers and benchmark data, charting AI going from near-zero to 100% across core development tasks in under 3 years.
Agentic AI will handle half of government operations within two years, every federal employee gets mandatory training, and ministries will be ranked on adoption speed. A clear bid to set the global benchmark.
