The harness handles everything else — tool execution, memory, context control, sandboxing, orchestration. And on <a href="https://github.com/deepseek-ai/deepseek-harness">August 2026</a>, DeepSeek shipped what might be the most important open-source reference implementation of that formula yet.</p> <p><strong>DeepSeek Harness (dsh)</strong> is the Chinese lab&rsquo;s open-source agent framework: <strong>25.9k stars</strong>, <strong>MIT license</strong>, <strong>12,000+ commits</strong>, and an architecture built on one radical idea — <strong>everything is a plugin</strong>.</p> <blockquote> <p>&ldquo;Models, tools, skills, sessions, sandboxes, filesystems, loops, orchestration, and UI are ALL implemented as plugins, and can be mixed, matched, replaced, and extended.&rdquo;</p>
