Bloomberg: DeepSeek’s open-source agent app Harness hit 1.54M daily users less than 3 months after launch.

The count covers only official API users and rose from a 7-day average of 271K on September 30, just after a desktop version shipped.

Those users burn about 92T tokens a day, roughly 60M each, an early public sign that hours-long agent runs consume far more compute than chatbots.

Harness treats everything as a plugin, so even built-in features can be replaced, and users have built about 35,000 so far.

DeepSeek says 60% of users have made at least one, though it concedes their quality varies widely.

Next comes an official plugin marketplace plus a creator program offering token grants, technical help and promotion, with no further details yet.

If those tools keep users loyal, DeepSeek gains a way to compete with OpenAI and Anthropic on ecosystem breadth as well as model price.
