DeepSeek Open Sources Agent Framework Harness: Everything is a Plugin
大模型之路 · wechat · 2026-08-15
DeepSeek released the open-source agent framework Harness v0.1, positioning it as an "OS for Agents." Built on the Cordis meta-framework, its core philosophy is "everything is a plugin"—components like model access, tool calling, session management, and loop control are all pluggable. This allows developers to assemble agents like LEGO rather than being locked into framework logic. The framework offers four modes (Standard, PTC, Minimal, Creative) and coincides with the release of the MIT-licensed DeepSeek V4Pro. The analysis suggests DeepSeek is shifting from selling "brains" to "limbs and nervous systems," aiming to build ecosystem influence through open source as pure API margins compress.
