How much does the agent harness matter when the model stays the same? We tested three harnesses on the same tasks. Here’s what changed, and a demo you can try yourself.

On 90 AppWorld tasks with GLM-5.3-flash, completion ranged from 30% to 81% across CUGA, Hermes, and Deep Agents. See how each harness was configured, then try changing what an agent can pay using a runtime policy in CUGA’s Policy Playground. → huggingface.co/blog/ibm-rese…

Welcome back to Tech Term of the Week! 🥳 This week's term → agentic workflows - /əˈdʒɛn.tɪk ˈwɝːk.floʊz/ Definition → AI-driven processes where autonomous AI agents make decisions, take actions and coordinate tasks with minimal human intervention. Why it matters → this allows AI systems to adapt and complete tasks even when conditions change, reducing the need for human intervention on routine work while also generating higher-quality outputs that can help train future AI models more effectively.

Spend less time troubleshooting pipeline breaks and painful cluster migrations and more time building your Streamhouse. Check out the new updates that make Confluent Cloud and Confluent Cloud simpler to build on, simpler to run and more cost-effective: ibm.co/6017EV0CH

Today, in collaboration with @IBMResearch, we are launching ScarfBench (Self-Contained Application Refactoring Benchmark), an open benchmark designed to test whether coding agents can successfully migrate enterprise Java apps across frameworks like Jakarta EE, Quarkus, and Spring while maintaining the app’s expected behavior. Moving between frameworks takes coordinated changes across dependency injection, persistence, build systems, and deployment infrastructure. An agent can easily generate a migration that looks fine or compiles, only for the app to fail when deployed. ScarfBench puts that to the test. ScarfBench evaluates each model with its harness over 204 migration tasks. Gemini 4 Argon with Antigravity scores 75.2%, followed by Claude Opus 5.5 with Claude Code at 70.5%, and Claude Opus 5 with Claude Code at 69.8%.

What will you bring back from IBM TechXchange? For IBM Champion Darren Surch, it was sharper technical skills and fresh ideas from conversations with people working on AI, quantum computing and IBM Z. Those conversations led to collaborations that helped shape his company.

Hi! To clarify, Bobcoins are the units used to measure consumption within IBM Bob, our AI coding agent. They are not cryptocurrency and this announcement is unrelated to the meme coin.

literal IBM posting about Bobcoin and the meme coin paired with IBM on @launchonsf is at 20k lol these markets are only about who is in a token and whether a platform decides to support a token
