High-compute ultra-reasoning model surpassing model surpassing GPT-5
...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. It is released under the MIT license and includes curated benchmark solutions for community verification and analysis.
High-efficiency reasoning and agentic intelligence model
...Built with a scalable reinforcement learning framework, it reaches near-GPT-5 levels of reasoning and outperforms comparable models like DeepSeek-V3.1 and Gemini-3.0-Pro in advanced benchmarks. The model was notably used in competitive AI challenges such as the 2025 International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO) and IOI, achieving top-tier results. DeepSeek-V3.2 also features a large-scale agentic task synthesis pipeline, which generates training data to enhance tool-use intelligence and multi-step reasoning. It introduces a new “thinking with tools” chat template, allowing it to reason and decide when to invoke specific tools during problem solving.
