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...
FlashMLA is a high-performance decoding kernel library designed especially for Multi-Head Latent Attention (MLA) workloads, targeting NVIDIA Hopper GPU architectures. It provides optimized kernels for MLA decoding, including support for variable-length sequences, helping reduce latency and increase throughput in model inference systems using that attention style. The library supports both BF16 and FP16 data types, and includes a paged KV cache implementation with a block size of 64 to...
