DeepSeek is in the process of establishing a new Harness team dedicated to the research and development of code agent products, aiming to compete with Anthropic's Claude Code. Chen Delli, a senior researcher at DeepSeek, verified this development on social media, revealing that the team's objective is to develop DeepSeek Code Harness. The recruitment drive targets two pivotal roles: Harness Product Manager and Harness R&D Engineer, with the job location being Beijing.

In the realm of agents, the term "Harness" denotes an external system that empowers models to perform tangible actions. While the model is tasked with comprehension, reasoning, and generation, the Harness integrates these functionalities into real-world scenarios. DeepSeek's strategic move is designed to convert state-of-the-art model capabilities into premier agent products, fostering the co-evolution of models and Harness. This approach aims to transform actual development tasks into a valuable feedback loop for the ongoing refinement of models.
