Notable capabilities (3)
- DeepSeek Sparse Attention (DSA): Introduced DSA (first in V3.2-Exp) to cut long-context attention compute while preserving quality. source
- Hybrid thinking/non-thinking in one model: deepseek-chat mapped to non-thinking mode and deepseek-reasoner to thinking mode of the same V3.2 weights. source
- V3.2-Speciale reasoning variant: Separate high-compute Speciale variant served briefly on a temporary endpoint (no tool calls) until 2025-12-15; weights released. source
Open-weight (MIT) predecessor of V4; still widely self-hosted and on third-party APIs. Use deepseek-v4-pro / deepseek-flash on the first-party API instead.
