DeepSeek tells users to run it under a separate operating-system account, since its sessions have the operator's full access. The repository passed 5,700 stars inside a day. Bloomberg framed it as a move on Claude Code; the design is closer to a teammate in the group chat than a tool in one developer's terminal.
