The article introduces the concept 'Agent = Model + Harness', arguing that the gap between demo and production lies in infrastructure like memory, routing, guardrails, and observability. It compares self-managed stacks versus managed services using a FinBot case study to guide architectural decisions.

    • Agent Harness is the critical middleware connecting model reasoning to deliverable products, covering memory, tools, routing, and guardrails.
    • Stability, security, and cost control of production-grade agents rely primarily on the Harness rather than the model itself.
    • Teams must choose between fully managed services and self-managed tech stacks based on specific architectural needs.
