On-topic: I like DeepSeek Harness quite a bit, but the problem with "Everything Is A Plugin" is that when this includes core functionality, you still have to maintain downstream patches for those core plugins if you want to tweak existing behaviour. I currently have ~25 downstream commits and 0 new plugins.

Why does every one of these apps pollute the home directory by default? You'd think AI would be able to write the code to make the app fucking behave properly and store its settings in the platform appropriate way.

Combination of main character syndrome, and wanting consistency across platforms like MacOS, which doesn't define $XDG_CONFIG_HOME or $XDG_CACHE_HOME.

wren6991 8 hours ago [-]
Yeah, I am actually ok with this. I'm selective about what goes into it, and the training goes into better open-weight models. From what I've seen the DSH desktop telemetry is actually telemetry (like VS Code), not uploading all your files.
Might have been unclear from what I posted originally, but the `session-log-deepseek` is attaching session transcripts to DeepSeek API inference requests, so it's just a full version of what already needs to go in the messages array, with compaction expanded etc.
If you run `dsh web` against a local model then nothing goes to DeepSeek by default (except the web_search tool uses their API, but there has to be a backend somewhere). I think that's commendable. The regression on the desktop app is disappointing.

This page doesn't emphasize the cordis architecture [1], but that's the most exciting thing about this -- not just yet another harness. It has the potential to make this into something like the emacs of harnesses! I think this might be particularly potent for long-running agents.
It's no that fancy when is put in practical engineering terms. I've spend some time with the paper.
Paper describes such system whch has ability to enable/disable capabilities without process restart. Each plugin must follow specific shape: function to activate, function to deactivate it (both working, mutating the same shared context object), describe provided and required services. This, plus some ideas, like "every provider must outlive consumers when destructred" allows plug-n-play ensuring all dependencies are satisfied before the plugin is activated, lazy activation, and plugin deactivation/destruction.

What makes emacs a good interface for agentic stuff? I like emacs as an editor, I don’t really see what would make it useful for AI
What makes this great is infinite hack-ability of the interface and agents have become pretty good at writing elisp packages, so basically you can have a workflow exactly how you want.
I wish I had time to make a screencast about this, but If you are a Emacs user and not using Emacs for agentic stuff, you are missing out IMO.

A plugin system in no way impedes having a set of curated and polished features out of the box. It simply allows the addition of new features to have the same status and be part of the same class as existing features. It's an architectural and design property of the system, not a property pertaining to quality.
In your case you can stick to installing plugins written by first parties or write your own plugin for specific use cases that you come across. You don't need to have any use cases for plug ins right this moment, but perhaps at some point if you find yourself repeating the same manual process over and over again, you can write a plugin to automate a substantial portion of it.

It is only a mess if it doesn't work correctly in a functional and non-functional sense. All other coding conventions are invented to make it easier for humans to maintain code. Agents don't care, they will happily chug away pressing the virtual keys endlessly, changing whatever the previous agent left.

DeepSeek harness is the OpenCode (better than OpenCode) of the web/desktop medium.
Good things about it are that it is extremely lightweight and fast. The communication between sub agents is two way in that a sub agent can midway send a message to parent and the parent can send a message midway to change the course of action of a sub agent and while this is happening, you can sitll continue talking to the model on the main thread.
Downside of DeepSeek is that it is constantly in flux which is understandable and they make it very clear themselves that the breaking changes are to be expected.

rootsudo 10 hours ago [-]
so in some research:
deepseek direct is much more cheaper than going through openrouter, openrouter price arbirtages (of course) and has a top up fee and does not pass the discounts that deepseek offer which is 50%+ discount when using it on off hours from beijing time.
meaning USA usage is 12 hours off so you can take advantage off off peak pricing
of course you can ask your ai flavor to tell you this but:
open router 5% deposi fee, none direct
deepseek does prompt caching for token discounts, openrouter not as easily but there
US daytime usage = automatic 50% discount direct w/ deepseek.

Seems like a category error: you can use DSH with openrouter, in fact it ships built-in support using the Pi LLM SDK.
I think DSH is a pretty well-built vanilla harness with a nice web UI (I use it in a pinned browser tab). I much prefer this to dealing with TUI clipboard/scroll jank, and it works just as well over SSH if you simply forward the port. They've genuinely thought about the architecture, and made some effort towards sandboxing the LLM's shell. Yes this is a saturated area, but they've made a nice version of the thing everyone is making, without trying to lock it down to their API. Maybe give it a try?

I'm sorry, what is a harness, compared to a complete Web LLm "chat" like Mistral Vibe ?
SyneRyder 16 hours ago [-]
If you're using Mistral Vibe installed on your computer, that is a harness. Vibe is one of many AI harnesses.
In general, a harness is something that lets your AI use tools on your computer and lets it work independently while you walk away. (Very simplified definition, not all harnesses are that automated.)
It's a long time since I tried Vibe, but when I did it was one of the worst. Back then it had broken support for MCP or computer use and other tools people now regard as near essential in AI. Hopefully Vibe is better now. Sadly Mistral are a long way behind.

Mistral Vibe lets you use GLM-5.3 by default now. So it's a very capable model, for a cheap monthly fee. The Web version is excellent : tried yesterday on a simple search, results were way more informative than ChatGPT.
But yes, it's sad that they don't release models anymore.

I've been with Mistral for a while now. Their hosted GLM-5.3 has been a game changer in Vibe CLI over the last couple of weeks. The Vibe CLI harness has been improving for a while, but is still a little sluggish and I feel lacks token minimisation strategies. I recently changed to Maki and have been reasonably satisfied so far.
However, I also use the Mistral Vibe chat in my browser. I think they only switched to GLM-3.5 here a couple of days ago (https://docs.mistral.ai/resources/changelogs). It'd be nice if Mistral had a desktop client, but I have Goose installed which I have no real complaints about.

Did you look into the workflow tools? The agent can write a TypeScript program that encodes a subagent graph, so you can codify a review workflow and ensure it's actually followed. Kind of neat, I think other providers also have these now, but it was new to me, and interesting to see how it worked.
Adding dashboards etc is probably where the "everything is a plugin" starts to pay off. They ship an agent preset for working on the harness itself.

Why the fuck would I care? The spooks definitely won't. I'm one person on a planet of 8 billion.
I think people don't appreciate the scale of that. A person is like a pixel on a 4k screen, in a wall that's made of many screens (about 5 in case of my country, about 42 in case of the US). Nobody cares what the single pixel does. It's not even visible unless it's so broken it doesn't change the same way surrounding pixels do.
I have a feeling that all this privacy obsession is actually a reaction to the unconscious feeling of irrelevance at this scale. In their minds, people defy the fact they're just sand for the systems of modern civilization - no, they are the very special ones, each fancies themselves a player among billions of NPCs, and to prove their uniqueness and specialness, they want to hide that fact from other NPCs, and get annoyed at the notion the world may indeed discover they are special.
Nothing else makes sense. Not in the west at least, where the only realistic threat from loss of privacy is getting weirder ads (hint: a real power move is to start with ad blocking and removing ads - and ad-infested media sources - from your life).
Now, loss of control over your daily life and your computing devices, that's another story. But most people don't seem to care about those.

Good4boothee 15 hours ago [-]
Both Z.AI and xAI have already proven you can't trust them, like at all. I guess other harnesses are in "I don't trust it, but it is convenient" category.
If like me you're mildly bothered by this, add these lines to $DSH_HOME/cordis.patch.yml before first startup ($DSH_HOME is ~/.dsh by default):
On-topic: I like DeepSeek Harness quite a bit, but the problem with "Everything Is A Plugin" is that when this includes core functionality, you still have to maintain downstream patches for those core plugins if you want to tweak existing behaviour. I currently have ~25 downstream commits and 0 new plugins.Might have been unclear from what I posted originally, but the `session-log-deepseek` is attaching session transcripts to DeepSeek API inference requests, so it's just a full version of what already needs to go in the messages array, with compaction expanded etc.
If you run `dsh web` against a local model then nothing goes to DeepSeek by default (except the web_search tool uses their API, but there has to be a backend somewhere). I think that's commendable. The regression on the desktop app is disappointing.
Anthropic also shares your personal data with the US government.
At least DeepSeek provides 95% of the performance for 10% of the cost.
Why do you suppose everyone would rather share data with Mosad and CIA than with CCP?
In China, my data is safe. Safe from you, safe from the CIA, safe from Mosad.

Paper describes such system whch has ability to enable/disable capabilities without process restart. Each plugin must follow specific shape: function to activate, function to deactivate it (both working, mutating the same shared context object), describe provided and required services. This, plus some ideas, like "every provider must outlive consumers when destructred" allows plug-n-play ensuring all dependencies are satisfied before the plugin is activated, lazy activation, and plugin deactivation/destruction.
What makes this great is infinite hack-ability of the interface and agents have become pretty good at writing elisp packages, so basically you can have a workflow exactly how you want.
I wish I had time to make a screencast about this, but If you are a Emacs user and not using Emacs for agentic stuff, you are missing out IMO.
Would you be interested in a self-modifying harness written in Common Lisp? If so, then please check out Autolith: https://github.com/lambda-symbolics/autolith/
In my time using it with GLM 5.2, I've observed it modify itself to disassemble binaries in search of answers - without me needing to ask it to do so. Very powerful stuff. Here's what it looked like:
(The name sounds a bit like autolytic, evoking self-harm. Which may be appropriate after all.)
also this is a very limited static snapshot with one model as backend, I wish there were more consistently refreshed and diversified harness benchmarks.
It happens more often than you think, especially when VRAM is limited!

We like to think we aren't token predictors, but the amount of sheer regurgitation I see from us humans makes me wonder (also "commoditize your complement", and so many others)
It's nice for having your AI create your own plugins. But I haven't really found the need yet.
In your case you can stick to installing plugins written by first parties or write your own plugin for specific use cases that you come across. You don't need to have any use cases for plug ins right this moment, but perhaps at some point if you find yourself repeating the same manual process over and over again, you can write a plugin to automate a substantial portion of it.
Then ask the model of your choice to implement the plugin for you, I created 3 this morning just for myself
All settings and workspaces are transferred so you don't lose anything, the only thing it lacks is a way to increase/decrease font size with cmd + and cmd - so I'll work on a plugin for that
I can't be happier
Edit: Asked DSH for a plugin to increase/decrease font and it delivered. Love it. Then asked for a plugin to ring a bell on questions and tasks finished, of course it delivered flawlessly. The same plugin architecture, extensible by the same AI
Check GPT-6 thread for example, now that's Astra-turfed lol.
IGNORE: Now, if only DeepSeek Harness were open source…
(EDIT: DeepSeek Harness is open source—I missed it).
>DeepSeek Harness (dsh) is an open-source agent harness developed by DeepSeek AI.
>It is built on an everything-is-a-plugin architecture and powered by Cordis, whose design is described in A Programming Paradigm for Spatiotemporal Composability.
https://github.com/deepseek-ai/deepseek-harness
Now, this could simply be an attempt at sarcasm but it's getting really hard to tell. There's a handful of people in this thread saying that DeepSeek Harness is closed source.
I'm not sure what you mean by it's a beast.
After you log in, click on your name/picture in the bottom left, Settings, Models. Has a huge list of models supported in the dropdown, plus a "custom model API" tab where you put in the name you want, the base URL, the protocol, and your API key.
(blackbear.app was developed entirely by a custom harness architecture)
I find it hilarious that all the AI harnesses are Electron crap. These are such simple UIs, it seems like it would be trivial to have the AI itself write native frontends.
I am writing a rust native UI using GPUI but now I need a markdown viewer and editor and also want diagrams. I might end up embedding a webview (tauri style) after all.
But, I genuinely mean it when I say that we are not far away from the point where verifications (functional, non-functional), as long as they're comprehensive enough, will be all that is required, and I don't expect to be reading the nitty gritty details of PRs in a few years time.
It is only a mess if it doesn't work correctly in a functional and non-functional sense. All other coding conventions are invented to make it easier for humans to maintain code. Agents don't care, they will happily chug away pressing the virtual keys endlessly, changing whatever the previous agent left.
Not providing DSH as a simple to install package resulted in an unknown third party packaging it with some modifications and SEO the hell out of it to always come on top in Internet searches (even above DS):
deepseekharness[.]io
Could be just an ambitious engineer, but could equally easily be ran by cyber criminals or NSA.
Good things about it are that it is extremely lightweight and fast. The communication between sub agents is two way in that a sub agent can midway send a message to parent and the parent can send a message midway to change the course of action of a sub agent and while this is happening, you can sitll continue talking to the model on the main thread.
Downside of DeepSeek is that it is constantly in flux which is understandable and they make it very clear themselves that the breaking changes are to be expected.
I'm not yet sure if it is really sensible long-term, but it is definitely now while we're still trying to figure out what exactly we want and need from LLMs and harnesses.
deepseek direct is much more cheaper than going through openrouter, openrouter price arbirtages (of course) and has a top up fee and does not pass the discounts that deepseek offer which is 50%+ discount when using it on off hours from beijing time.
meaning USA usage is 12 hours off so you can take advantage off off peak pricing
of course you can ask your ai flavor to tell you this but: open router 5% deposi fee, none direct deepseek does prompt caching for token discounts, openrouter not as easily but there
US daytime usage = automatic 50% discount direct w/ deepseek.
I think DSH is a pretty well-built vanilla harness with a nice web UI (I use it in a pinned browser tab). I much prefer this to dealing with TUI clipboard/scroll jank, and it works just as well over SSH if you simply forward the port. They've genuinely thought about the architecture, and made some effort towards sandboxing the LLM's shell. Yes this is a saturated area, but they've made a nice version of the thing everyone is making, without trying to lock it down to their API. Maybe give it a try?
This gives more power to the consumer and ensures they can freely switch the components according to their needs. AI market is already full of power imbalance and anti competitive potential, no reason to increase that even more.
https://aifcc.franzai.com/
I'm using Cursor (it's the only way my company allows us to use Grok) and OpenChamber (when using GPT, Muse Spark and others) and I'm happy. If I were to use DeepSeek, I'd use it through OpenChamber too.
* OpenChamber is a GUI for OpenCode.
I'm reluctant to run harnesses from US companies, and prefer to use them in a VM. No damn way I'm installing one from China.
For coding I like to use Zed right now. Pretty solid integration of an AI harness and a good conventional code editor. Might give Pi another look.
That can be true only for locally hosted models. The more supplied tools can do, the less data has to be exchanged with OpenAI/Anthropic servers. So bad harness means both higher lag and token usage.
My wild theory is that we already have AGI level models, but we are not yet using them correctly.
what we don’t have yet are the tools to take full advantage of the agi we do have. they’re coming soon.

Kind of like how we all fail to see the bearded guy in the sky.
