The DeepSeek Harness platform, designed for the creation and operation of artificial intelligence agents, reached 1.54 million daily users and processes 92.1 trillion tokens every 24 hours, according to official data released by the Chinese startup on X.
Growth was driven by the launch of the desktop version. The platform also has 5.48 million monthly active users and records an average of 261 daily requests per person.

Users and processing advance
In just a few weeks, the number of daily active users increased by 545%. Over the same period, token consumption reached 92.1 trillion per day, an increase of 306%. Tokens are basic units used by artificial intelligence models to process and generate information. Among the models associated with the expansion is V4.5-Flash.
The developer community also contributes to the expansion of the environment. Harness already has nearly 35,000 third-party plugins, approximately 30,000 of which are hosted on GitHub. About 59% of active users build or use at least one extension to automate work activities.
What is DeepSeek Harness
Known by the acronym DSH, DeepSeek Harness is an open-source framework intended for operating autonomous agents.These systems can perform tasks on a computer without relying on human commands at every step.
Under the motto “everything is a plugin,” the platform allows external developers to add tools and features to the environment. The proposal is to turn it into a kind of operating system for AI agents, in which different extensions expand the assistant’s capabilities.
The published figures, however, represent only the Harness ecosystem and do not include users of DeepSeek’s conventional chat service. Nor should they be compared directly with figures from other assistants, which use different measurement periods. ChatGPT, for example, has more than 1.2 billion weekly users, while Claude also remains among the sector’s leading services.
Among the features that can be incorporated into the platform are:
- Tools that combine image and text generation;
- Readers for scientific articles with automatic translation;
- Dashboards for monitoring the AI’s chain of reasoning.

DeepSeek plans extension marketplace
To expand the ecosystem, the startup announced the creation of its own marketplace dedicated to the discovery and installation of plugins.
The initiative also plans to provide incentives for independent developers and companies interested in creating tools for the platform.
