...It builds on the DeepSeek Sparse Attention (DSA) framework, delivering dramatically improved long-context efficiency while preserving full model quality. Unlike the standard version, Speciale is tuned exclusively for deep reasoning and therefore does not support tool-calling, focusing its full capacity on pure cognitive performance. The model uses a scaled reinforcement learning framework that allows it to surpass GPT-5 in several evaluations and reach reasoning performance comparable to Gemini-3.0-Pro. DeepSeek-V3.2-Speciale contributed to gold-medal solutions in the 2025 IMO, IOI, ICPC World Finals, and CMO, demonstrating its ability to handle elite-level problem solving. ...
