Hello everyone. I've been reading through this sub for a long time trying to understand what exactly this harness thing is.

The most common word people use here is "Pi Harness", but I'm not sure what exactly it is. I think a lot of people new to local LLMs have this question.

To those who use this Pi Harness, can you explain in the comments what exactly it is? How does it work?
