A Harness for AGI
Models keep getting stronger, but the harness around them decides how much of that turns into real work. The single question behind every Viktor harness decision, and the primitives that follow from it.
Engineering and research deep-dives from the team building Viktor.
Models keep getting stronger, but the harness around them decides how much of that turns into real work. The single question behind every Viktor harness decision, and the primitives that follow from it.
We ran OpenAI's new Sol, Terra, and Luna against Claude Opus 4.8, Sonnet 5, and Fable 5 on real agent work. The frontier moved — and it has a personality.
How Viktor's thread engine is designed around prompt caching: SDK instead of tool loading, append-only threads, in-cache compaction, and an 80% cost cut.
Most AI agents demo well and fall apart in production. Here's what we learned about tool use, context windows, memory, and UX while building an AI coworker that connects to 3,200+ integrations.
