DeepSeek: DeepSeek V3.2 Speciale

Text input Text output
Author's Description

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.
