Proteus
Proteus is an audio integration system for DeepSeek Harness that enables audio file transcription and grounding within prompts and commands.
Proteus is the result of a 30-episode self-improvement experiment where DeepSeek Harness evolved its own audio input path. It enables users to attach common audio files, including MP3, WAV, and OGG formats, through a web composer or ACP. The system validates and persists these files before routing them through a configurable, provider-neutral transcriber seam. Transcribed audio is grounded directly into standard prompts and commands, such as /goal and /plan. Users configure credentials and endpoints through a web settings interface, avoiding the need for source code modifications.
