    The parameters. Stateless — does next-token prediction and nothing else. "Claude Opus 4.7" and "GPT-5" are models. On its own a model can't do anything agentic; it has to be harnessed.

    Usage:

    "Should we switch the model from Sonnet to Opus for the planning step?"

    "Try it — but the harness is doing most of the lifting on this task. The model swap won't help if the system prompt and tools are wrong."
