Teradata turns Tera into an agentic coworker

Teradata says its new Tera Harness supported 512 concurrent agents on one 8-vCPU VM, serving 279 tool calls per minute, in a company test. Teradata’s announcement introduces Tera Context Engine, Tera Harness, and Agent Skills, but says all three arrive in Q4 2026. That makes it a watchlist candidate, not a switch-now verdict; our benchmark of coding-agent harnesses shows how execution layers can change outcomes even when the model stays constant.
