Databricks Releases Omnigent Multi-Harness Dispatcher

Patrick Wendell shares that Databricks released an open-source project called Omnigent, which functions as a multi-harness dispatcher. The tool allows developers to route coding tasks across different harnesses, enabling workflows where one model writes code and a different model reviews it.

“Like there's a project, an open source project we've released called Omnigent at Databricks, and it's a multi-harness dispatcher basically.”
Patrick Wendell
“It tends to be the case that when you review code from a different model than wrote the code, you get way better feedback. Models are very bad at reviewing their own output.”
