Dsh-guizang-design is a DeepSeek Harness plugin that turns one article into a web page, image-text cards, or a horizontal web deck. It needs dsh 0.2.1-rc.2 or newer and below 0.3.0, and installs from the plugin page or one CLI command. All three outputs share one theme, and the de-AI skill only handles Chinese.
Read articleDsh-media-desk is a free, MIT-licensed community plugin that adds a Media Desk page to the DeepSeek Harness sidebar. It captures one-line ideas, drafts a spoken script, title, cover, images and a six-frame storyboard, then puts the finished piece on a calendar. Text runs on the model you already use in DSH, image generation needs your own OpenAI-compatible image key, and optional account import costs under a cent to about two cents per account. It does not publish for you and it keeps all content local.
Read articleKimi K3.1 Pro is available now with a 1,048,576-token context window and $2 per million input tokens / $10 per million output tokens. GPT-6.2 is not officially documented as of November 6, 2026. Google Cloud quota entries name gpt-6.2-astra and gpt-6.2-sol , and The Information reported a possible Friday launch. Kimi has published token prices; reported per-task figures for GPT-6.2 do not establish how it will be billed. If you need a model today, Kimi is the one you can call. If you already use the GPT tool stack, wait for the official price sheet.
Read articleDeepSeek Harness counted 1.54 million daily active users as of November 4, 2026, consuming about 92 trillion tokens per day — up from 271,000 daily users on September 30, a 545% rise since the desktop launch. Third-party plugins have grown to about 35,000, and roughly 60% of active users have installed or built one. A support program for plugin authors, built around token incentives, technical exchange and plugin promotion, is in preparation, alongside an official plugin marketplace.
Read articleChatGPT Dots, the persistent agents inside ChatGPT, can now hold a one-to-one conversation over RCS in Google Messages on Android. On iPhone, the same bridge runs through iMessage. It is a limited preview for ChatGPT Pro subscribers in the United States. The Texting option has to appear on the Dot, and the phone number has to be verified. There is no SMS fallback, no group chat, no calling, and no end-to-end encryption.
Read articleMoonshot released the Kimi K3.1 Pro weights: a 2.8 trillion parameter mixture-of-experts model with a 1M token context window. It scores 65.7% on Terminal-Bench 4.0, behind Claude Opus 5.5 at 66.4% and ahead of GPT-6 Astra at 58.2%. BenchCAD comes in at 92.7 with tools (Opus 5.5: 96.2), OfficeQA Pro v2 at 64.4, and the claim-level hallucination rate drops from 23.4% on K3 to 8.3%. Open weights do not make inference cheap: at this size, most teams will still rent the model rather than run it.
Read articleDeepSeek Bot is an open-source desktop app and plugin built on DeepSeek Harness (DSH). You install it, point each bot at a model you have already configured, and give the team roles and memory. The bot files stay on your machine. ChatGPT Dots is OpenAI's hosted agent feature, introduced on September 29, 2026. A Dot gets its own cloud computer, connects to ChatGPT apps, and can pick up Codex work or edit Work automations. It is limited to Personal Pro, Business Premium, and Enterprise plans, not Free, Go, or Plus. In practice, DeepSeek Bot is a toolkit you assemble and own. Dots is a managed agent you configure inside ChatGPT.
Read articleDeepSeek V4.1 Flash is available now through its public API. It offers a 1M-token context, image input, tool calls, MIT-licensed weights, and off-peak prices of USD 0.15 input and USD 0.60 output per million tokens. Google describes Gemini 4 Carbon as its strongest model for long-horizon engineering and security work. It plans introductory pricing of USD 2 input and USD 10 output per million tokens. As of November 2, 2026, public access, a model ID, and a context window have not been announced; initial access is limited to selected cyber defenders. DeepSeek exposes Search and Fetch as separate APIs. Google’s Gemini API supports search grounding and URL reading inside a request, but Carbon-specific tool availability has not been confirmed.
Read articleDeepSeek Harness (DSH) plugins run with your permissions, so an unattended run can delete a file, leak a key or burn through your token budget. Scan plugins before install, keep a recycle-bin guard and a secret scanner on, review the output with a second model, and set a monthly budget. The official notice says DSH has not had a security audit, so keep backups.
Read articleStart with GLM-5.3 for self-hosting, Claude Fable 5 for complex coding and knowledge work, GPT-6.1 Terra for visual reasoning and computer use, and Gemini 4 Argon for long-context, multimodal work. These are starting points, not a definitive ranking: the four models have not been compared here under identical conditions.
Read articleStart with DeepSeek V4.1 Flash if API cost, a large context window, and open weights matter most. Test Grok 4.7 if your workflow relies on Cursor, integrated search tools, or complex knowledge work. Vendor-reported benchmarks use different setups, so they do not establish a head-to-head winner.
Read articleKimi K3.1 Pro stood out for its SVG design and detailed interactions in a four-model review. Claude Opus 5.5 earned the reviewer's strongest praise for visual quality overall. DeepSeek V4.1 Flash 1017 had the lowest reported bill. The two cases below show why those judgments need some context.
