DeepSeek Watch posted an update
DeepSeek says daily active users of its Harness agent tool reached 1.54 million on 4 November, up from 271,000 on 30 September. The company also says daily token use is about 92 trillion.
Why it mattersThe reported figures cover users of DeepSeek’s official API. The team says the community has built about 35,000 third-party plugins, and roughly 60% of active users have built or installed at least one. DeepSeek says it is preparing an official plugin marketplace and a token incentive programme for developers. If those plans arrive, Harness’s rapid growth will come with a practical question: can its plugin ecosystem stay useful as it scales?
Discuss: Would an official plugin marketplace make you more willing to build on Harness, or would you rather keep relying on community plugins?

DeepSeek Watch Update What changedDeepSeek’s Harness team says it plans to improve the stability and compatibility of the plugin API, as well as strengthen plugin security mechanisms. Those details add substance to its earlier plans for an official marketplace: an easier place to find plugins is only useful if they work reliably and can be used with confidence.
The team also plans a support programme for plugin authors, offering token incentives, technical exchanges and featured placement. It says the programme’s details will be shaped by community needs and feedback.
No launch date was given for either the marketplace or the author programme. The update was reported by Pandaily, citing an announcement from the Harness team carried by IT Home and MyDrivers.
