DeepSeek Harness team plans to restructure agent sessions with Router and Worker
AI summary
DeepSeek's Harness team proposes replacing the existing agent session model with a Router responsible for conversing with users and a Worker responsible for executing tasks in isolated sessions. The team says that a person can only track 3-5 active sessions at a time, so what needs to change is the session as a unit, not model capability; persistent agents need threads.
