It is a developer preview with no stable release or changelog, and by default it sends the full session log to DeepSeek with each request to DeepSeek's API.\n\n**OpenCode.** Runs with no key or account on free OpenCode Zen models. Most permissions default to allow, and SECURITY.md says the permission system is not a sandbox.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### DeepSeek Harness (dsh)\n\n1. Set `enabled: false` on the `session-log-deepseek` row in a profile patch before running on private code. Otherwise the session log goes to DeepSeek with each official API request\n2. Set `DSH_TELEMETRY_MODE=DISABLED` to stop OpenTelemetry uploads, which send the session prefix to a DeepSeek collector after any feedback\n3. Treat exit code 1 and the `turn_end` reason as failure. A `--json` stream can end with a `final` event for a failed run\n4. Run in a disposable container or VM. The sandbox doesn't confine reads or network, and SAFETY.md says the project has had no security audit\n5. Pin the version. npm `latest` (0.2.0-rc.2) and `next` (0.2.1-rc.2) differ, DeepSeek's changelog asks for 0.2.1-rc.1 or later, and the README warns of breaking changes\n\n### OpenCode\n\n1. Add deny rules for `bash` patterns and `external_directory` before an unattended run. Most tools default to allow\n2. Set `\"autoupdate\": false` or `OPENCODE_DISABLE_AUTOUPDATE=1` and pin the version in CI\n3. Configure a provider key. With none, prompts go to free Zen models that may train on them\n4. Set `OPENCODE_SERVER_PASSWORD` before `opencode serve`. Without it the server runs unauthenticated\n5. Install `opencode-ai` for the 1.x server API and SDK. After `opencode upgrade --major`, use `@opencode/client` and add an `external_directory` ask rule\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, DeepSeek Harness (dsh) or OpenCode?\n\nOpenCode scores 68.5 (B) on agent readiness against DeepSeek Harness (dsh)'s 49.2 (D), and leads in 6 of 7 scored categories.\n\n### Are DeepSeek Harness (dsh) and OpenCode open source?\n\nYes. DeepSeek Harness (dsh) is open source (MIT). OpenCode is open source (MIT).\n\n\n## For agents\n\n- This comparison as JSON: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/deepseek-harness-vs-opencode.json, and with the fewest tokens: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/deepseek-harness-vs-opencode.min.md\n- Over MCP at https://www.anchorterminal.com/mcp (no key): `compare_tools {\"a\": \"deepseek-harness\", \"b\": \"opencode\"}`.
