DeepSeek Just Built the Next Generation of Coding Agents

The post details the DeepSeek Harness, a new open-source framework for coding agents. It highlights its plugin architecture, enabling the use of different LLMs (like Claude Code and Codex) as sub-agents. The harness offers Standard, Creator, and Orchestrator modes, with Creator mode allowing users to build their own plugins. The author evaluates its potential to replace existing tools and discusses its features like the Trajectory View and Vision/GitHub Stats plugins, while also noting areas where it still falls short.
