harness-sdk shipped an update

The open-source agent SDK harness-sdk, also known as Strands Agents, has shipped an update and now stands at 8.7k GitHub stars, with its last update recorded in October 2026. The project provides Python and TypeScript SDKs for building production AI agents that work with any model and any cloud, defaulting to the Amazon Bedrock model provider with Claude Sonnet and requiring AWS credentials and model access to run. Installation is available via `pip install strands-agents strands-agents-tools`, and the Quickstart Guide documents other providers including Anthropic, OpenAI, Gemini, and Ollama.
