LongHorizon-Harness: Advancing Long-Horizon Agents for Real-World Tasks

LongHorizon-Harness, from Alibaba's DreamX Team, addresses long-horizon LLM agent failures by reformulating execution as task-state management. It uses a Manage-Execute-Audit (MEA) loop: a manager maintains explicit task state and defines subtasks, a fresh-context executor performs each subtask, and a read-only auditor independently verifies environment…
