Prime Agent
PrimeIntellect-ai/prime-agent
A self-improving RLM agent for coding and long-horizon autonomy.
Prime Agent is PrimeIntellect's open-source recursive-language-model agent: context as a variable, sub-agents as function calls inside a persistent IPython REPL, plus a continual-harness loop for self-improvement. Its harness famously took Opus 5 from ~30% to 95.5% on ARC-AGI-3.

PrimeIntellect's Prime Agent: a self-improving RLM agent
PrimeIntellect open-sources Prime Agent, a recursive-language-model agent whose harness runs sub-agents as function calls inside a persistent IPython REPL. The launch post reports its harness taking Opus 5 from ~30% to 95.5% on ARC-AGI-3 — the sharpest evidence yet that harness engineering can beat model selection.
EverMind open-sources Raven — 'the harness of harnesses'
EverMind AI releases Raven, a trusted, persistent, self-evolving multi-agent ecosystem built for recursive self-improvement — agents that modify their own harness under governance. The Show HN thread became a running debate on how much autonomy a harness should hand an agent over itself.
