UIUC and Chroma's Harness-1 is a 20B retrieval subagent trained with reinforcement learning inside a stateful search harness. The harness maintains the bookkeeping — candidate pool, importance-tagged curated set, evidence graph, verification records — while the policy decides what to search, curate, verify, and when to stop. It reaches 0.730 average curated recall across eight benchmarks, beating the next open subagent by 11.4 points and trailing only Opus-4.6. Weights and harness code are public.

Reinforcement-learning agents — AI systems that learn by trial and error — can convert computation into new knowledge. That’s the focus of a new engineering-level collaboration between NVIDIA and Ineffable Intelligence, the London-based AI lab founded by AlphaGo architect David Silver in the wake of Ineffable’s emergence from stealth last week. “The next frontier of […]

In this tutorial, we build a Reinforcement Learning–driven agent that learns how to retrieve relevant memories from a long-term memory bank. We start by constructing a synthetic memory dataset and generating queries that require the agent to recall specific information. Using OpenAI embeddings, we convert both memories and queries into vector representations, enabling similarity signals […] The post Build a Reinforcement Learning Powered Agent that Learns to Retrieve Relevant Long-Term Memories for Accurate LLM Question Answering appeared first on MarkTechPost.
