[DeepSeek's Claude Code Version to Launch Soon, Harness to Be Released Alongside Official V4 Version] According to monitoring by Beating, group chat screenshots provided by netizens reveal that the DeepSeek Harness team plans to release its first Harness product alongside the official V4 version. This is an intelligent code agent product internally benchmarked against Claude Code, designed to enable the model to read and write files, call tools, execute commands, and continuously complete engineering tasks. DeepSeek previously announced that the official V4 version was scheduled to go live in mid-July, along with the implementation of peak-valley pricing. As of now, it is already July 20, and the original time window has passed. If the plan has not been adjusted again, both V4 and Harness are now in the countdown to release. In the past, DeepSeek primarily allowed developers to integrate V4 with third-party tools like Claude Code and OpenCode. This time, they are finally stepping in themselves to compete for the product entry point of code agents. [Original Link]
