Bare IPython harness ties production coding agents with Qwen3.5-9B on TB-Lite; tool-output normalization reduces run-to-run variance
Read the original at www.reddit.com→We’ve been testing which agent harness works best for small local models. The result: a single-tool IPython harness can match much heavier production harnesses on Terminal-Bench Lite, and much of the “randomness” in...
