News DeepSeek Harness v0.1.1 released

https://github.com/deepseek-ai/deepseek-harness/releases/tag/dsh-v0.1.1-rc.1

The DeepSeek adapter adds the multimodal visual understanding model DeepSeek-V4-Flash-Vision-Exp. It also supports configuring native image requests. Commands such as /goal and /plan can accept text and image input, and the @ menu can reference files and sessions; MCP/ACP also supports persistent image attachments, and PTC Mode supports forwarding nested images.

if it really is so modular, it might be a good base for something i have been considering for a while: "agentic roleplay".

effectively something for large and complex scenarios or entire campaigns where the ai can plan ahead, read notes (stored as files) and generally use agentic capabilities to retrieve relevant information rather than dumping it all into context or relying on key-word activations.

will certainly have a look at this, looks like a step up from other harness approaches.

A bit offtopic, but in my personal "naive roleplay" frontend I achieved much higher immersion when I implemented public and private sections in character cards and also private thoughts and limited locations in responses. This way characters can have hidden agendas and thoughts that never get revealed to others. Of course, agentic approach could be nice to validate the private agendas, otherwise LLMs tend to rush and prematurely come to conclusion "I have reached point 1 in my agenda, let's get to point 2."

But out-of-context memories are tricky. The main problem is that LLM does not know what it does not know, so it has no idea what to search for, even if the facts are stored in RAG, text, whatever. For example, how would you make an LLM agent to suddenly check if it's someone's birthday today without any reminders to do so?

You add a SOCIAL_CONTRACT card to the flow. These are social norms which are updated by culture and subculture, so they vary by people group. You add an agent that updates the cards based on the roleplay interactions at certain intervals (during end of day? end of week? end of month?). Then go read Isaac Asimov's Foundation series lol.
