Qwen 3.8 + DeepSeek Harness Is My New Free Claude Code

🔥 Build enterprise AI agents with Oracle AI Agent Studio — free templates on GitHub: https://www.oracle.com/application/fusion-ai DeepSeek Harness tutorial for running Qwen 3.8 locally with Ollama and building your own plugins. 🚀 Agentic Labs — exclusive AI coding courses, live Q&As, workshops & deep dives: https://skool.com/agentic-labs 🎁 Free RAMP course + all the resources from my videos: https://skool.com/leonvanzyl Claude Code and Codex decide how your coding agent works. DeepSeek Harness lets you decide. Every feature is a plugin, so you can rip out what you don't like and build what's missing. In this video I customise the harness with my own plugins, including a built-in browser and a theme selector. Then I run Qwen 3.8 on my own machine with Ollama and build a preset that stops local models choking on tools they can't use. I also cover the plugin distribution step almost nobody explains. Total cost to run all of it: $0.
