The chooser

Five questions. One pick, with reasons.

Harnesses differ less on features than on what each assumes you have already decided. These questions ask about the assumptions. Answer honestly; there is no score to game.

1. Which models do you want to run?
2. Where should the harness run?
3. Who should be able to change the agent's behavior?
4. How much do durable memory and steering other agents matter?
5. Who do you want answering the roadmap?
