Send us Fan Mail Murilo and guest Vitale go through the latest data and AI news: DeepSeek's open coding harness where every capability is a plugin…
What I have, well, one thing that I kind of came across, this is actually very recent, I think it's like a few days ago, is the deep-seek hardness.
Have you heard of the deep-seek hardness,
Vitaly? I saw a bit online people discussing about it, but I'll be honest, I didn't try it myself.
Yeah, I didn't try myself either, but it made a lot of noise, right? Well, so it also took me a bit into a rabbit hole.
I think harnesses nowadays, agent harness, a lot of people, they talk about like you have the agent or the AI model, which is like the brain.
So basically these are the models that predict the next token.
And then you have harnesses, which basically constrain a bit and steer the models into, okay, this you cannot do, this you can do.
So it's kind of like an IDE for...
AI coding, right? Well, that's a bit of a TLDR of what I saw online, right? And there are a lot of different harnesses, like Cloud Code is a harness.
There's the Open Router, I think, or no, not Open Router.
It's the Open Code.
There's OnMyPy.
There's a whole bunch of things.
It caught my attention the first time because I saw online that actually is the fastest growing repo now.
It surpassed open call and basically it's the harness that is built from for deep seek right and there are two well maybe let me see if i there's a video here i haven't seen this video actually myself yet but i'll just play while you're going basically it's like it has a ui so it's like you run it locally so it's kind of like you run it like PNPM or something like that.
So you run it on your local host.
And then basically there are different modes, right? So you kind of have a ChatGPT-like interface.
And for the people that are just listening, I'm playing a video from their documentation.
And you can tell it to write code.
You can tell it to just ask questions and answers and all these different things.
And the two differentiators of this is that one, basically, and that's the tagline, everything is a plugin.
So literally everything that you see can be turned on or off.
And you can also customize it a lot, right? So, and this is kind of what they're showing here, right? You see in the video at the bottom, they have a little whale, they have a snake game running live on the right hand panel.
