Inspect Harbor

May 7, 2026 · View on GitHub

Harbor is a framework for building, evaluating, and optimizing AI agents in containerized environments. Inspect Harbor provides an interface to run Harbor tasks using Inspect AI.

pip install inspect-harbor

Then in Python:

from inspect_ai import eval
from inspect_harbor import aider_polyglot

eval(aider_polyglot(), model="openai/gpt-5-mini")

Or load any dataset directly via the generic harbor() interface:

from inspect_ai import eval
from inspect_harbor import harbor

eval(
    harbor(package_name="aider/aider-polyglot", package_ref="latest"),
    model="openai/gpt-5-mini",
)

For full documentation, see https://meridianlabs-ai.github.io/inspect_harbor. The docs site covers installation, the Harbor task model, the default agent scaffold, task parameters, the generic harbor() interface (org/name and name@version datasets, plus local/git tasks), and a complete catalog of available datasets.

See CHANGELOG.md for release notes.
