As model capabilities commoditize, the competitive moat for Agents shifts to engineering systems. A QCon discussion highlights the paradigm shift from static execution (Harness) to dynamic feedback loops (Loop), emphasizing that humans must retain decision-making authority while noting that true self-evolution remains distant due to context gaps.

    • Harness solves task completion while Loop enables continuous improvement; the core shift is moving from humans seeking AI to AI seeking human decisions.
    • Models set the capability ceiling, but engineering systems determine the delivery floor; high code generation rates do not solve problems but often shift costs to testing.
    • The biggest gap in current Agents is the lack of human context; automation applies only to execution, while decision-making and acceptance still require human intervention.
