Deepseek-v3.2Speciale, built for agentic work, just released
Just saw the news on twitter - and this is my own screenshot of their API pricing taken just now.
V3 has received an update and is moving to 3.2 - including on the web interface. They posted all these nice benchmarks which I guess means something? Lol tbh I'm not sure how much you can trust these benchmarks.
What does this mean? Well, I gave the twitter thread announcement to Crush (and the new deepseek-v3.2, which you are automatically upgraded to both on API and web interface) and this is what it made of the news:
Quick Summary
DeepSeek has released V3.2, replacing the experimental version. There are two main models:
V3.2‑Speciale: Specialized for complex reasoning (Gemini‑3.0‑Pro level)
Both are open‑source and available via API.
What's New & Why It Matters
1. Thinking Integrated with Tool‑Use
V3.2 can now "think" while using tools (like searching the web, running code, or calling APIs). This makes AI assistants more transparent and better at multi‑step tasks. You can choose thinking mode (slower but more thorough) or non‑thinking mode (faster for simple tasks).
2. Two Models for Different Needs
V3.2: Use this for most agentic work—chatbots, coding assistants, general automation. It's cost‑effective and reliable.
V3.2‑Speciale: Use this only when you need top‑tier reasoning—complex math, competitive programming, advanced planning. It uses more tokens (costs more) but solves harder problems.
3. Open‑Source & API Options
API: Available immediately. V3.2‑Speciale has a temporary endpoint until Dec 15, 2025.
Self‑hosting: Download from Hugging Face and run locally for privacy or cost savings.
Start with V3.2—it handles 90% of agentic tasks well.
Switch to V3.2‑Speciale only for tasks that require deep, step‑by‑step reasoning.
Monitor token costs—V3.2‑Speciale uses more tokens, so watch your API bill.
Key Improvements for Agentic Interfaces
Better reasoning transparency—you can see the model's thought process when using tools.
Mode flexibility—toggle thinking on/off based on task complexity.
Stronger performance on benchmarks (math Olympiads, programming contests).
Timeline & Availability
Now: V3.2 on DeepSeek App, Web, and API
Until Dec 15: V3.2‑Speciale via temporary API (same price)
Always: Both models open‑source on Hugging Face

no matter what one may think they have to admit deepseek is pretty much destroying the western AI ecosystem. On par with GPT5 on the free/cheap version is pretty big, considering how much fanfare there was around GPT5

it was pretty funny that deepseek gave me its own rundown technically lol, but its report on the official twitter thread is more in-depth than I gleaned from my own reading so
