Gleis//Garten

The Codeforce Returns: Inside the Agent Harness! 🏆🛡️

Gone are the days when an agent was just a model with a few prompts. Today, it's all about the harness, the framework of guardrails, tools, evaluation, and execution logic that turns a raw LLM into a system you can actually trust.

Building a harness that keeps an agent observable, resilient, and on the rails is an art of its own. This time around, the Codeforce goes hands-on with a special feature: Bernhard Götzendorfer, the winner of the BitGN PAC 2026 hackathon takes the stage to present the winning agent, reveal the architecture behind its harness, and share the key engineering decisions that made it stand out. Originally planned for June, this session was worth the wait.

Our regular online meetup brings together makers, tinkerers, and thought-leaders in the GenAI space to unpack what’s new, what matters, and what’s next. We’re inviting everyone to join us for a virtual evening of insights, demos, and discussion.

🌐 What to expect:
📈 Trend Talk: The latest GenAI developments and community hot takes
🧭 News Radar: Fresh updates from the AI frontier (you know how fast it moves!)
🛠️ Live Demo: The winning AI Hackathon project, including a deep dive into the agent, its harness architecture, and the techniques used to build a reliable autonomous system.
💬 Open Floor: Bring your thoughts, your hacks, and your questions. Everyone’s voice counts!

🎯 Who should join? Developers, AI engineers, platform builders, and anyone curious about real-world agent systems and infrastructure. Whether you're building, experimenting, or just exploring: This is your place!

Let’s exchange ideas, explore the tools, and push GenAI forward together.

See you at the GenAI-Codeforce.

🗓️ 29.06.2026, 17:00h-18:30h | Online Session – Free to join
