harnessdev

Definition

A coined name built from "harness" — the scaffolding that actually runs a model or agent: prompt formatting, execution, scoring, logging. An evaluation harness matters because it pins down those details, which is what makes numbers from different papers comparable at all. Since the compound is not standard English, read the surrounding text to see which harness is meant.
