Dev runs DeepSeek's training harness in a Mac container, crushing tasks local LLMs failed
IngeniousIdiocy · reddit · 2026-08-15
Reddit user IngeniousIdiocy shared how deploying DeepSeek's post-training agent harness — open-sourced as "shorehand" — inside a Linux container on their Mac changed how they think about local AI. The setup grants the container root access and web connectivity, wires in API keys for Brave web search and the Tiny Fish CLI, and uses Fable to build a bridge into Open WebUI so the containerized agent chats like a regular LLM.
The author says the harness now crushes tasks they previously couldn't get through; full setup details are in the GitHub repo.
