DeepSeek Harness RC.8: native multimodal, Claude Code and Codex as pluggable subagents
aigclink · x · 2026-08-20
DeepSeek Harness v0.1.0-rc.8 highlights:
- Multimodal: DeepSeek model adapters support configurable native image requests; /goal, /plan and other commands accept image+text input; the @ menu can reference files and sessions
- Subagent assembly: Claude Code and Codex can both be installed on demand as Profile Bundles and dispatched as subagents by Harness; Codex supports non-interactive permission mode and multiple named instances
- Windows: PTY terminal gains persistent PowerShell sessions, default in the minimal preset
Fixes cover oversized-image request failures, missing reply prefixes after cancelled streams, and broken OpenAI-compatible gateway calls. Also improved concurrent websearch, SQLite backend performance, and a Python SDK bundling 4 agent presets. The repo has 169k stars on GitHub.
