Definition
The term, in context
AI-assisted draft · approved dataset
DeepSeek Harness is an agentic software framework built around DeepSeek's large language models, providing the orchestration layer that lets a model plan multi-step tasks, invoke external tools and APIs, retain working memory across steps, and evaluate intermediate results before proceeding. It is intended to convert a base language model into a more autonomous agent capable of completing complex workflows with reduced direct human supervision.
