Strands Harness
3 hours ago
- Strands harness is a state-of-the-art, general-purpose agent harness that runs locally or deploys to the cloud.
- It requires only one line of Python or TypeScript code to set up with any model.
- Costs 28% less than Claude Code or GPT models on benchmarks while maintaining equal or better accuracy.
- Includes defaults for prompt caching and context management (truncation, compaction, recovery) to improve token efficiency.
- Comes with built-in shell, file, and web tools, plus long-term memory, session resumption, and a helper agent for subtasks.
- Deployable on providers like Modal, Cloudflare, Azure, Google Cloud Run, Amazon ECS, and Bedrock AgentCore.
- Strands CLI allows prototyping in plain English and exporting code to TypeScript or Python.
- Fully customizable via the Strands Harness SDK and released under Apache 2.0 license.
