What happened
Chinese AI lab DeepSeek has open-sourced the code for Super-Agent, an experimental coding agent. The project is published on GitHub as dsh-superagent under the MIT licence.
What the agent does
Super-Agent is designed to take on coding work for a software team. According to the source, it works by reading the team's chats, using internal conversations as context.
How it was announced
The team that builds DeepSeek's agent tools laid out the design in a WeChat post on Saturday. The code itself is available on GitHub.
Why it matters
The MIT licence allows broad use and modification, including commercial use. By open-sourcing a coding agent tied into team workflows, DeepSeek could speed up adoption of such agents.
