Recommended reading. This is probably one of the bigger subagent runs showing good results. Two things caught my attention: self-evolving skills and compounding engineering. Both are important techniques in harness engineering. Overall, subagents reduced LOC significantly and delivered insane cost savings. Hermes Agent is a proper agent harness with self-improving mechanisms, but I am not sure this same approach would work in other harnesses. What works in one harness doesn't always…

New blog post: We had a million lines of Python to clean up. On September 2nd @Teknium asked Hermes Agent to do it. 1,393 subagents and nineteen hours later, the codebase was 34.4% smaller, saving us nearly $2m in engineering hours. https://nousresearch.com/refactoring-hermes-with-1393-agents
