DeepSeek said its Harness artificial intelligence agent framework reached 1.54 million daily active users less than three months after launch, the Chinese AI company said on Sunday, November 8, 2026. The Hangzhou-based start-up said users of Harness through its official application programming interface were consuming around 92 trillion tokens a day as of November 4.
Harness is an agent framework, software that lets AI models carry out multi-step tasks on a user's behalf rather than answer single questions. DeepSeek positioned the product as a competitor to agent offerings from OpenAI and Anthropic, the two leading US AI developers.
The company said the growth came after it released a desktop version of the application. DeepSeek did not say how many of the daily users are paying customers or how the token consumption is billed.
The figures are the company's own account of its platform and were not independently verified. DeepSeek did not disclose revenue or the cost of serving the traffic.
