deepseek/deepseek-v3.2-exp

Model weights

Compare

DeepSeek-V3.2-Exp is an experimental large language model released by DeepSeek as an intermediate step between V3.1 and future architectures. It introduces DeepSeek Sparse Attention (DSA), a fine-grained sparse attention mechanism designed to improve training and inference efficiency in long-context scenarios while maintaining output quality. Users can control the reasoning behaviour with the reasoning enabled boolean. Learn more in our docs

The model was trained under conditions aligned with V3.1-Terminus to enable direct comparison. Benchmarking shows performance roughly on par with V3.1 across reasoning, coding, and agentic tool-use tasks, with minor tradeoffs and gains depending on the domain. This release focuses on validating architectural optimizations for extended context lengths rather than advancing raw task accuracy, making it primarily a research-oriented model for exploring efficient transformer designs.

DeepSeek V4.1 Flash 1017

DeepSeek V4.1 Flash 1017 is the October 17, 2026 snapshot of DeepSeek V4.1 Flash, served by DeepSeek under the deepseek-flash API model name. V4.1 Flash is a sparse mixture-of-experts model from DeepSeek, and the first built on the company's Causal Encoder-Decoder (CED) architecture. It activates 8B parameters on input and 16B on output from a 552B-parameter backbone, an asymmetric split that keeps per-token compute low relative to the model's total size. Image understanding is native to the architecture, with visual and text embeddings trained jointly from the start of pre-training rather than added afterward as in the earlier experimental V4 Flash Vision Exp.

It is suited for coding, terminal, and computer-use agents, along with long-horizon tasks that must run to completion across many steps and long-context analysis. Compressed KV caching cuts cache memory to roughly a quarter of the previous Flash generation, significantly reducing costs on agentic workloads. DeepSeek positions it as the cost-efficient tier of the V4.1 family and reports that it exceeds V4 Pro on performance, speed, and task completion time.

DeepSeek V3.2 Speciale

DeepSeek-V3.2-Speciale is a high-compute variant of DeepSeek-V3.2 optimized for maximum reasoning and agentic performance. It builds on DeepSeek Sparse Attention (DSA) for efficient long-context processing, then scales post-training reinforcement learning to push capability beyond the base model. Reported evaluations place Speciale ahead of GPT-5 on difficult reasoning workloads, with proficiency comparable to Gemini-3.0-Pro, while retaining strong coding and tool-use reliability. Like V3.2, it benefits from a large-scale agentic task synthesis pipeline that improves compliance and generalization in interactive environments.

DeepSeek V3.1 Base

This is a base model, trained only for raw next-token prediction. Unlike instruct/chat models, it has not been fine-tuned to follow user instructions. Prompts need to be written more like training text or examples rather than simple requests (e.g., “Translate the following sentence…” instead of just “Translate this”).

DeepSeek-V3.1 Base is a 671B parameter open Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) language model with 37B active parameters per forward pass and a context length of 128K tokens. Trained on 14.8T tokens using FP8 mixed precision, it achieves high training efficiency and stability, with strong performance across language, reasoning, math, and coding tasks.
