DeepSeek's reasoning-first model built for agents. First model to integrate thinking directly into tool use. Ships alongside V3.2-Speciale, which rivals GPT-5 and Gemini 3.0 Pro.
DeepSeek-V3.2 is the official successor to V3.2-Exp, released in December 2025 as a reasoning-first model purpose-built for agentic workloads. It is the first model to integrate thinking directly into tool use, supporting tool calls in both thinking and non-thinking modes without swapping models mid-flow. The release introduces DeepSeek Sparse Attention (DSA), a new attention mechanism designed for efficient long-context inference across agent trajectories. Training leaned on a massive new synthesis pipeline spanning more than 1,800 environments and 85,000 complex instructions. The sibling V3.2-Speciale variant pushes reasoning further and benchmarks competitively with GPT-5 and Gemini 3.0 Pro. Weights are open on Hugging Face under the MIT License, but DeepSeek's own API no longer serves V3.2: its endpoints moved to DeepSeek V4 on April 24, 2026, and the API now offers deepseek-flash (V4.1 Flash) and deepseek-v4-pro. It has since been superseded by DeepSeek V4, previewed April 24, 2026.
