DeepSeek says Harness has 1.54 million daily users
The Hangzhou-based Chinese AI start-up DeepSeek says Harness has 1.54 million daily users less than three months after its launch.
Users of Harness through DeepSeek’s official API consumed about 92 trillion tokens a day as of November 4.
The company said that amounts to around 1.1 billion tokens per second.
A harness is software that turns a large language model into an agent, able to carry out tasks for users rather than only answer prompts.
The platform’s growth adds to competition between Chinese and US AI companies, including OpenAI and Anthropic.
DeepSeek is stepping up efforts to make money from its foundation models as Harness gains users.
