Bloomberg reported on November 8 that DeepSeek's open-source agent application "Harness" had reached 1.54 million daily active users as of November 4 — less than three months after its August 13 launch, up from about 271,000 at the end of September when the desktop version debuted.
The figure is self-reported by the company and still awaits independent verification, but it underscores the rapid adoption of China's agent platforms.
The milestone arrives alongside Google's promotion of its A2A protocol to a stable release and WeChat's gradual rollout of an "Xiaowei" AI entry point, all pointing to agents moving from tools to system-level infrastructure.
