DeepSeek Harness reaches 1.54 million daily active users within three months of launch
The open-source agent platform, aimed at developers and users who deploy AI agents that carry out multistep tasks, has posted fast uptake. The figure is the company's own metric and has not been independently audited.

Daily active users, drawn to scale
Each block = 100,000 daily active users. Total = 1.54 million.
Fifteen full blocks plus a partial block make up the reported figure. The chart shows the size of the company's claim only; it contains no comparison with other platforms, which the reporting does not provide.
The count is not broken down by individuals versus enterprises, and the reporting does not show how actively these users run agent features.
What the figure supports
Fast early uptake for a platform less than three months old
Open-source release lets developers inspect, modify and self-host the software

2. Transparency
Will the company publish more detailed metrics?
3. Competition
How does the platform compare with other agent frameworks?
