Top 7 Free Machine Learning Courses with Certificates

For different learning styles, goals, and comfort levels, finding a course that matches how you learn is HARD. Some people need visuals. While others wanna jump straight into code. Some need structure, others need flexibility. And many learners just want proof of effort at the end in the form of a certificate. This list is built with that in

Harness Engineering with LangChain DeepAgents and LangSmith

Struggling to make AI systems reliable and consistent? Many teams face the same problem. A powerful LLM gives great results, but a cheaper model often fails on the same task. This makes production systems hard to scale. Harness engineering offers a solution. Instead of changing the model, you build a system around it. You use prompts, tools, middleware, and evaluation to guide the model toward reliable outputs. In this article, I have built a reliable AI coding agent using LangChain’s DeepAgents and LangSmith. We also test its performance using standard benchmarks. What is Harness Engineering? Harness engineering focuses on building a structured system around an LLM to improve reliability. Instead of changing the model itself, you control the environment in which it operates. A typical harness includes a system prompt, tools or APIs, a testing setup, and middleware that guide the model’s behavior. The goal is simple: improve task success and manage costs while using the same underlying model. In this tutorial, we use LangChain’s DeepAgents library to demonstrate this approach. DeepAgents acts as an agent harness with built-in capabilities such as task planning (to-do lists), an in-memory virtual file system, and sub-agent spawning. These features help structure the agent’s workflow and make the system more reliable. Also Read: A Guide to LangGraph and LangSmith for Building AI Agents Evaluation and Metrics To evaluate the system, we need clear performance metrics. In this tutorial, we build a coding agent and test it using the HumanEval benchmark. HumanEval consists of 164 hand-crafted Python problems designed to evaluate functional correctness. We use two common evaluation metrics: Building a Coding Agent with Harness Engineering We will build a coding agent and evaluate it on benchmarks and metrics that we will define. The agent will be implemented using the deepagents library by LangChain and
