Racing ahead of DeepSeek! Silicon Valley Chinese entrepreneurs have built the next-generation Agent Harness!?

What happened: A Silicon Valley team of Chinese researchers, AFK AI, has released Comma, an agent product built on a single Router plus multiple Worker architecture, which the article says predates and parallels DeepSeek Harness's Super-agent proposal. Why it matters: The article frames both teams as converging on the same bottleneck, human attention limits in multi-agent work, and says Comma already ships cross-platform task handoff, persistent memory, and a small model that must beat the prior version in team tests before deployment.
