An under-appreciated aspect of Harbor is that results are auditable and reproducible so you can make trust-less claims about your agent or model. In the era of SWE, code was the source of truth so OSS built trust. In the era of agents, evals are the source of truth and

On the heels of reports that META is exploring a move into compute-as-a-service like xAI, Mark Zuckerberg told an internal town hall that AI agent development over the last four months hasn’t accelerated 'in the way we expected'. The race continues to narrow.

a founder once showed me a “demo” that was basically a camera staring at a tray of ugly parts. nothing moved for 20 seconds. then the system rejected one part because a stamped edge was 0.3mm out and would jam two stations later. that was more interesting than 90% of robotics
