  "account": "DeepSeek Harness has introduced a new Creator Mode that enables the generation of plugins through text prompts. While AI models can respond to prompts and decide on actions, executing those actions necessitates a harness. These harnesses link large language models (LLMs) to tools and systems capable of performing tasks like scheduling appointments or making phone calls. Combined, an LLM and a harness form an AI agent. DeepSeek's Harness is an open-source tool built on the principle that \"everything is a plugin.\" A plugin extends an existing program's functionality without modifying the original code.\n\nCreator Mode in the Harness allows users to input text prompts to create new plugins. A demonstration video showcased AI-generated plugins, including a digital sticky note wall, a poster design tool, and a Minecraft-like video game. DeepSeek shared some of the prompts used in the demonstration, providing them in both English and Chinese to allow users to attempt creating similar plugins. However, DeepSeek noted that some plugins underwent multiple rounds of conversation, so a single prompt may not replicate exactly what is shown in the video.",
