Open Model Lab
October 2026: Agent Harness / Tool Use
Move the model from passive question-answering into a tool-using agent setup.
Gate status
- Month
- 2026-10
- Status
- planned
Success criterion
Agent behavior is measured step by step with failure modes, not only success/failure.
Focus
- Tool registry.
- File reading/writing.
- Python execution.
- Test execution.
- Planning, retry, error interpretation, and replayable traces.
- Compare base/SFT/DPO models on agentic coding behavior.
Expected outputs
- agents module.
- Small coding-agent benchmark set.
- Report: what post-training changes in agentic coding behavior?
End-of-month decision
Can agent traces explain why the model succeeds or fails?
