BerriAI (LiteLLM)
The gateway between your harness and every model provider.
BerriAI builds LiteLLM — the open-source proxy that normalizes 100+ LLM providers behind the OpenAI API with routing, budgets and observability. A quiet standard inside production agent stacks.

DeepSeek ships Harness Desktop; the 'everything is a plugin' harness passes 240k stars
DeepSeek releases a macOS and Windows Desktop app for DeepSeek Harness, its open-source agent harness where everything — tools, sub-agents, even the loop — is a plugin. The repo passed 240k stars within three months of its August launch, making it the fastest-growing harness in the field's history.
xAI open-sources Grok Build, its coding agent harness
xAI open-sources Grok Build — a Rust coding agent harness and fullscreen TUI around Grok models — unusually early for a first-party tool. It joins Claude Code, Codex and Gemini CLI as the fourth major first-party harness, now with a fourth open one.
Anthropic launches the Claude Agent SDK
Anthropic open-sources the SDK behind Claude Code — the agent loop, tool use, subagents, memory and hooks — letting developers build their own Claude-powered agents on production rails.
Browser Use tops 50k stars — web agents go mainstream
The open-source library for letting agents drive browsers becomes one of the fastest-growing repos in AI, spawning hosted products and a wave of 'web operator' agents.

Modal
Serverless cloud built for AI and agentic compute.
Modal lets teams run inference, fine-tuning and arbitrary agent workloads as serverless Python without managing infrastructure — a common substrate for harness backends at scale.
Temporal
Durable execution for long-running agent workflows.
Temporal's durable execution engine is widely adopted to make agent pipelines reliable: state survives crashes, retries are automatic, and workflows run for minutes or months. A key piece of serious harness infrastructure.
Inngest
Durable functions and workflows for AI agents.
Inngest runs agent logic as durable steps — queueing, retries, concurrency control and human-in-the-loop waits — without operating your own workflow infrastructure.
