Exo: Harnesses should see their own code and logs — Alex Krentsel

An introduction to Exo, a fully recursive AI agent harnessing a novel three-layer architecture (Executor, Harness, Sandbox) designed for autonomous self-improvement. It delves into how Exo surpasses current agent limitations by allowing the agent to edit its own code and policy at runtime, ensuring protected state and isolated execution, and discusses practical implications and the underlying systems philosophy enabling this paradigm shift.

Susanne Kaiser discusses her book "Architecture for Flow," which integrates Domain-Driven Design, Wardley Mapping, and Team Topologies into a holistic framework. She introduces the "Architecture for Flow Canvas," a practical tool for designing and evolving adaptive socio-technical systems by starting with the problem space and aligning software design with team organization and business strategy.
