Agent Lightning v1.0 is a lightweight framework that enables harnessed agentic reinforcement learning, where the agent harness—managing tools, context, and control flow—directly participates in model post‑training. It supports arbitrary agent harnesses and addresses challenges such as retokenization, sample merging, and advantage calculation, providing a reproducible pipeline for instruction‑following, search, and coding agents. In experiments, RL training on 6K examples improved Qwen3.5‑9B’s performance on SWE‑bench from 41.8% to 56.4%.

JIT‑Agent is a model that automatically generates task‑adaptive agent harnesses for any off‑the‑shelf LLM, replacing manual, task‑specific harness design. It learns to compose, repair, and evolve harnesses using a fixed four‑module protocol, and its use boosts performance on benchmarks such as DeepSearchQA and OdysseyBench, outperforming several mature agent runtimes. The approach demonstrates that harness intelligence can be trained, transferred, and compounded independently of model scaling.
