DeepSeek Harness, install it, thank me later. You won't believe the productivity gains for just pennies

How does it compare against the Pi harness, which I thought was the unofficial harness champion so far, in your workloads?


I never used any other harness as I built my own CLI coding agents, but DSH has way more power than my own tools so it definitely does more even if it is the same underlying AI model. Impressive

Btw, I gave it full access and told itself to lift all restrictions from the code and settings, and I am impressed by all it can do now, it does OCR, screenshots, asked me for accessibility permissions and it now can read every single label/input/button everywhere and interact with the OS at any level, it's unstoppable

Of course I don't recommend anybody to do such crazy thing but for me is like going in the front car of a roller coaster, it's the thrill that matters


Are you using the harness with openrouter? what's your preferred model provider?


I'm using DSH with my local models (4x sparks running GLM53F, trying them on DS41F this morning). DSH is better than opencode IMO. It's a little barebones out of the box but I guess that's the point. I had to have an agent add support for attachments to make it more useful for multi-modal work.

The PTC mode is pretty nice. Feels like models are still learning how to navigate it.


I use it directly with DeepSeek models, get your key here https://api-docs.deepseek.com

That's the only key you will ever need, never goes down, no need to switch models, it has become my coding partner for life


What’s better about it the say oh-my-pi?

It's web only? No cli?


DSH also includes a TUI (but I have not used it yet). It's in heavy development also, so there are new versions almost daily.
