Nvidia Research Shows Agent Scaffolding, Not Model Choice, Drove a Perfect ARC-AGI-3 Score

Nvidia published research arguing that the "harness" surrounding a model — memory handling, tools, runtime, and a supervisory agent — matters more than the base model for long-horizon agentic tasks. Using a custom harnes...
