From Launch to 1.54 Million Users
Harness, DeepSeek's AI agent platform, launched on August 13, 2026. By November 4, it had reached 1.54 million daily active users. DeepSeek disclosed that figure on Sunday, November 8, as reported by the South China Morning Post. The count covers only users accessing Harness through DeepSeek's official API.
Growth since late September has been steep. At the end of that month, the official-API user base stood at about 271,000. It climbed to 1.54 million by November 4, a roughly sixfold increase in five weeks. DeepSeek released a desktop app on September 29 during that same stretch, expanding access beyond the browser.
Token Volume and Plugin Adoption
The platform processes about 92 trillion tokens per day, according to DeepSeek. Roughly 35,000 third-party plugins exist on Harness, and about 60 percent of active users have built or installed at least one. DeepSeek plans to launch a formal plugin marketplace and to offer token credits to plugin authors. No timeline for the marketplace launch has been given.
A Note on the Numbers
All figures cited above come directly from DeepSeek. No independent audit of the user counts or token data has been cited. Treat these figures as self-reported claims.
