Chinese company DeepSeek has released a preview version of its Harness software platform, which allows developers to turn artificial intelligence models into autonomous artificial intelligence agents. Each of its main elements comes as a modular plug-in that can be replaced or combined with other elements.

“DeepSeek Harness software is built on the Cordis meta-framework and is an agent management system based on a core concept: everything is a plug-in. Think deeply. “Models, tools, skills, sessions, sandboxes, file systems, loops, orchestrations, and user interfaces are all implemented as plugins and can be mixed, matched, replaced, and extended.”
The company explains that these plugins provide all the functionality of an artificial intelligence agent. At the same time, Cordis services ensured their collaboration. It is designed to support dynamic composability (temporal and spatial)—adding and removing plug-ins dynamically without breaking the application. DeepSeek says dynamic composability is necessary for the operation of systems where modifications can occur continuously with little or no human control. This allows you to avoid forced restarts and failures when components appear and are removed.
As the resource points out South China Morning PostThe release of Harness marks a strategic pivot for DeepSeek, which is building the core digital foundation for AI agents that can use AI models to interact with external software, execute code, and independently solve complex problems.
Based on the results of preliminary beta testing, developers note that DeepSeek Harness differs from traditional software toolkits in that it gives programmers greater control over how artificial intelligence agents think and behave.
DeepSeek Harness offers four operating modes: Standard mode for general tasks, code-centric mode that allows the AI to write code to control multiple applications simultaneously, Creative mode that allows the system to experiment with custom tools, and Minimal mode for isolated testing.
