Interesting!
The https://swival.dev harness already has retry nudges, step enforcement, error recovery, context awareness, etc. to try to support small models as much as possible.
Curious to see how it compares with forge, and if both could be combined.
Oh interesting - I hadn't come across that!
I'd assume they could be combined. A coding harness would own the agentic workflow by nature, forge guardrails would help tool calling.
I haven't given it a thorough read yet but I think their guardrails might be more focused on the workflow level. They are doing error capture at tool level with warnings to the model, but I'd need to dig deeper. On the surface definitely the same design philosophy! Maybe Forge makes error nudges more of a first-class citizen?
Our compaction strategies might be the most similar of all the pieces. Cool find!
