## Definition

**Tend** — to actively guide and monitor a system that does the work, rather than doing tasks yourself; a style of working where you manage the system as it performs.

In this channel's material, **tend** describes the new working style explored in *I Tested GPT‑5.6 Sol for a Month*: instead of doing tasks yourself, you stay engaged with a system that does them — guiding, monitoring, and steering its work as it unfolds. The handout frames this as a workflow shift: you come away understanding how to combine models and manage a system that does the work, exploring the tests and trade-offs along the way. So *tending* is active — it means hands-on oversight of a working system, not delegating and walking away.
