自建 agent harness 还有没有商业空间
开发者认为 OpenAI 与 Anthropic 正快速扩充自家 harness,加上 Astra 等模型本身更强,靠自建 harness 转卖 API token 已无商业可行性。
We had our harness too, but OpenAI and Anthropic are pouring money to their harnesses and expanding them rapidly. They now have good context management, permanent memory, spawn sub-agents for sub-tasks, support MCPs, etc. Modern LLMs (Astra, Fable) are also much more capable nowadays. You don’t need to have to guide them as much by a harness. Also if you try to make business with custom harness and route API token purchases though it, that has no business case today. API token costs are 10x+ more expensive than monthly subscriptions. If your harness requires paying API prices for tokens, it’s dead on arrival.
