Harness Continual Learning: How Agents Evolve Without Model Fine-Tuning

Researchers from Nanjing University and University of Wollongong propose Harness Continual Learning (HCL), a framework where AI agents continuously adapt by evolving their system-level harness—prompts, memory, skills, tools, and routing—while keeping the base model frozen, demonstrating improved performance and controlled forgetting across diverse benchmarks.
