Title:InternAgentHarness: A Scalable Synthetic Environment for Enhancing LLM Agentic Abilities
Abstract:Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly expected to act as generalist agents capable of solving complex real-world problems. Training such agents, however, requires stable and diverse environments that support repeated interaction with stateful, tool-augmented tasks and provide verifiable feedback. Despite recent progress, the development of robust LLM agents remains limited by the lack of realistic, scalable, and executable training environments. We present InternAgentHarness, a scalable synthetic environment for improving the agentic capabilities of LLMs. Built upon the InternBootcamp training framework~\citep{internbootcampv1}, InternAgentHarness instantiates executable agent environments through a four-layer interface that unifies prompt generation, tool execution, interaction control, and reward computation. We further introduce \bootcampcli, an agent harness that automatically converts diverse agentic tasks into a Bootcamp-trainable paradigm. Unlike static benchmarks, InternAgentHarnessmakes evaluation actionable: observed failures can be systematically converted into new synthetic tasks, filtered trajectories, reinforcement learning rollouts, and subsequent re-evaluation under the same executable interface. We instantiate InternAgentHarness on a suite of 10 tasks covering both text-only and vision-based agent scenarios. Starting from Qwen3-VL-30B-A3B-Thinking, both supervised fine-tuning (SFT) and reinforcement learning (RL) on InternAgentHarness substantially improve performance over untuned model. These results suggest that InternAgentHarness provides a practical foundation for scalable synthetic agent environments and enables the continuous improvement of LLM agents through an iterative cycle of evaluation, synthesis, training, and refinement.
