DeepSeek personally participates in Claude Code competition and internally confirms the formation of the Harness team According to Beating monitoring, DeepSeek senior researcher Chen Deli confirmed on social media that the company is forming a new Harness team to directly benchmark Anthropic's Claude Code and focus on developing "DeepSeek Code Harness". According to the official recruitment page, DeepSeek has opened two key positions in Haidian District, Beijing: Harness Product Manager and R&D Engineer. It is clearly stated that the newly hired members will participate in the entire development process of the DeepSeek desktop agent product. The recruitment description defines the core path as' Model+Harness=Agent '. DeepSeek categorizes all engineering actions beyond context management, tool invocation, file reading and writing, terminal execution, and test feedback into the realm of Harness. Prior to this, the developer community had spontaneously launched the open-source terminal project DeepSeek TUI, which benchmarked Claude Code. The official formation of the Harness team means that DeepSeek is reclaiming control of the terminal entrance and attempting to inject code testing feedback from real projects directly into the evolutionary loop of the underlying model.
