DeepSeek Harness Introduces Vision Router for Enhanced AI Agent Image Processing
DeepSeek Harness has launched 'dsh-vision-router,' a new plugin designed to provide text-only DeepSeek Harness agents with advanced image processing capabilities. This plugin allows AI agents to 'see' and interact with images in a more sophisticated way than previous methods, which often relied on lossy text descriptions. The Vision Router maintains original pixel fidelity by keeping images on the vision model's side while DeepSeek handles the reasoning. It offers fourteen deep tools for image manipulation, including grounding, cropping, pixel differentiation, color analysis, OCR, SVG tracing, and HTML screenshot capabilities. The plugin is designed for easy installation and operates without requiring API keys for its default anonymous fallback vision chain, offering a free and accessible solution for integrating visual understanding into AI workflows. It also features continuous multi-step image work, allowing agents to iterate on image-related tasks until completion, and caches vision answers to avoid re...
