深度求索（DeepSeek）近日在微信上開設了「DeepSeek Harness Team」官方帳號，並發布招聘資訊，組建專注於AI代理（AI Agent）開發的新團隊。該帳號歸屬於一家北京實體，經企查查確認由DeepSeek控制，並已通過騰訊認證。

所謂「harness」是指包裹在大型語言模型外層的軟體框架，使AI代理能夠處理更複雜的任務。Anthropic等開發商已設計類似框架來提升其產品在編程及其他工作中的自動化能力。DeepSeek在招聘資訊中表示，目標是將其模型打造為前沿的代理型產品，並於週三晚間更新了旗艦V4 Pro模型，增強了代理能力。

中國企業正與美國開發商展開激烈競爭，致力於構建更先進且更具性價比的AI工具。儘管OpenAI的ChatGPT最先引發了全球AI競賽，但目前眾多公司已將重心轉向能夠為商業人士自動化工作的AI代理市場，這一新興市場被認為極具商業價值。

DeepSeek has established a new official WeChat account under the name "DeepSeek Harness Team" and posted job listings to build a team dedicated to developing AI agents capable of competing with products like Anthropic's Claude Code. The account is registered to a Beijing-based entity confirmed to be controlled by DeepSeek.

The term "harness" refers to software scaffolding that wraps around large language models, enabling AI agents to handle more complex tasks. In its recruitment postings, DeepSeek stated its goal of transforming its models into cutting-edge agentic products. The company also upgraded its flagship V4 Pro model with improved agentic capabilities on Wednesday evening.

Chinese firms are engaged in fierce competition with US developers to build more advanced and affordable AI tools. While OpenAI's ChatGPT initially sparked the global AI race, many companies have since shifted their focus toward the lucrative emerging market for AI agents that can automate tasks for business professionals.
