Strands harness is a preassembled agent harness that developers can run locally or deploy to cloud providers with a single line of Python or TypeScript code, released under an Apache 2.0 license. It is designed as a general-purpose agent rather than a coding-specific one, and its makers report it costs 28% less than comparable harnesses across six benchmarks while maintaining similar or better accuracy, and 77% less than Claude Code on the Fable 5 benchmark while scoring higher on Terminal Bench 2.1.
