DeepSeek-V3.2-Exp is an experimental release of the DeepSeek model family, intended as a stepping stone toward the next generation architecture. The key innovation in this version is DeepSeek Sparse Attention (DSA), a sparse attention mechanism that aims to optimize training and inference efficiency in long-context settings without degrading output quality. According to the authors, they aligned the training setup of V3.2-Exp with V3.1-Terminus so that benchmark results remain largely...
