The devil is in the details, so actually, the Emperor in this analogy most definitely does have clothes. For example, post-training / finetuning the model specifically to use the tools it’ll be given in the harness. Or endlessly tweaking the system prompt to fine-tune the model’s behavior to a polish. Plus - both OpenAI and Qwen have models specifically intended for coding.
