DeepSeek Open-Sources DeepSeek Harness v0.1 for Agent Development |
Company News |
DeepSeek Harness on GitHub is now available in Developer Preview under the MIT license. The agent harness is built around the Cordis meta-framework and follows a “everything is a plugin” architecture: models, tools, skills, sessions, sandboxes, filesystems, loops, orchestration, and UI are all implemented as replaceable and extensible plugins. This allows developers to mix, match, replace, and extend components when building their own agent harnesses. |

Character.AI Adds User Blocking Across Web and App |
Feature |
Character.AI has introduced user blocking on both its app and web platform. Blocking someone hides their Characters, Posts, Voices, and Scenes from your search results, homepage, and their profile—and your content is likewise hidden from the blocked user. Character.AI says blocked users aren’t notified. To block someone, open their profile, tap the ⋯ menu, and select Block. Blocked accounts can be managed from Profile → Settings → Blocked, and blocking or unblocking takes effect immediately. |
