"Chinese AI firm DeepSeek has made yet another splash with the release of V3.2, the latest iteration in its V3 model series. Launched Monday, the model, which builds on an experimental V3.2 version announced in October, comes in two versions: "Thinking," and a more powerful "Speciale." DeepSeek said V3.2 pushes the capabilities of open-source AI even further. Like other DeepSeek models, it's a fraction of the cost of proprietary models, and the underlying weights can be accessed via Hugging Face."
"V3.2 is the latest iteration of V3, a model DeepSeek released nearly a year ago that also helped inform R1. According to company data published Monday, V3.2 Speciale outperforms industry-leading proprietary models like OpenAI's GPT-5 High, Anthropic's Claude 4.5 Sonnet, and Google's Gemini 3.0 Pro on some reasoning benchmarks (for what it's worth, Kimi K2, a free and open-source model from Moonshot, also claimed to rival GPT-5 and Sonnet 4.5 in performance)."
DeepSeek released V3.2 as the latest iteration of its V3 series, offered in two versions: "Thinking" and the more powerful "Speciale." The model builds on an experimental V3.2 and follows the V3 lineage that informed the R1 reasoning model. Company data indicates V3.2 Speciale outperforms several proprietary leaders on certain reasoning benchmarks, including GPT-5 High, Claude 4.5 Sonnet, and Gemini 3.0 Pro. V3.2 Speciale is substantially cheaper to run — roughly $0.028 per 1 million tokens versus up to $4.00 for some proprietary APIs — and the model weights are available on Hugging Face.
