Overview

DeepSeek-V3.2 is DeepSeek's V3-generation open-weight chat model (671B MoE, 37B active, MIT), which introduced DeepSeek Sparse Attention for efficient long-context inference. It delivers strong math and general reasoning at industry-low prices, with famously cheap cache hits. Now a generation behind the V4 line, it remains a high-value text-only workhorse rather than a frontier agentic coder.

Strengths

  • Among the lowest prices in the industry
  • Excellent math and reasoning value
  • Sparse-attention efficiency at long context
  • Very cheap cached input; MIT open weights

Trade-offs

  • Superseded by the V4 generation on price and capability
  • Agentic-coding reliability below the frontier
  • Text-only, no vision
  • English/Chinese-centric multilingual

Fit

Best for

  • High-volume, cost-sensitive workloads
  • Math and reasoning tasks
  • Chat and summarization at scale
  • Self-hosted deployments

Not ideal for

  • Long-horizon autonomous agentic coding
  • Multimodal tasks

Capabilities

Ten axes, normalized 0–100 and scored the same way across the whole catalog — so a 78 here means what a 78 means anywhere else on the bench.
