AI Discovers A-greement, a Faster Consensus Protocol
The non-obvious point is that the agent harness itself, AI-greement, found bugs in established protocols while verifying new ones — a reusable recipe for applying coding agents to distributed-systems research. Distributed-systems engineers and researchers can study the harness design to run their own autonomous protocol search. It complements classics like Paxos and Raft with measurable latency gains in geo-replicated settings.
