Teradata updates Tera workspace with execution layer

Teradata is adding a context engine, an execution layer, and reusable agent skills to its Tera enterprise workspace. The updates aim to make multistep data workflows more efficient and help enterprises control inference costs.

The new execution layer, Tera Harness, creates an execution plan before sending work to a model, batches independent tasks, and drops unproductive calls. According to Teradata's evaluations on the SWE-bench Pro benchmark, the updated workspace used 73% fewer tokens than Claude Code and completed tasks 42% faster while running the Opus 5 model.
