Key Info

A member of DeepSeek's Harness team outlined the project's plugin ecosystem philosophy, describing DeepSeek Harness as aiming to be the "operating system of the agent era" and explaining how official built-in features will coexist with third-party plugins.

Highlights

  • DeepSeek Harness aims to serve as an operating system for the agent era, providing stable foundational capabilities.
  • It will ship built-in features that most users need, analogous to default alarm and calculator apps on a smartphone OS.
  • Under an "everything is a plugin" design, even built-in features can be replaced by third-party plugins.
  • The team says it hopes community-built plugins become users' everyday choices and that third-party developers build apps the original creators never imagined.
