On October 3, 2026, DeepSeek released the DeepSeek Harness v0.2.1-alpha.1 pre-release. According to a Unite.AI report, this version adds a "Let Agent create a plugin" entry in plugin management; when selected, it carries the existing draft into Creator mode, and execution only begins after the user submits the plugin creation request. This version also fixes the issue of missing dependencies after enabling a new plugin package, and the issue of residual dependency mappings after disabling or uninstalling; replacing the version of an installed package still requires a restart. The report states that Harness is in the developer preview stage, and the official security notice states that it can execute model-generated code and commands, load third-party plugins, and access the network and files, and has not yet undergone a security audit. There are currently no subsequent versions or status updates.
