Models / DeepSeek V3.2 Exp

685B total, ~37B active per token (MoE, 256 routed experts) - shares the V3 backbone. Adds DeepSeek Sparse Attention (DSA): a lightning indexer (FP8, Hadamard dot-product) selects top-2048 tokens per query, then MLA runs only over those. The first fine-grained sparse attention from DeepSeek and the precursor to V4’s CSA.

Built on V3.1-Terminus. Experimental; superseded by V4 within ~7 months. Open weights under MIT.

AI-generated content marks

This model embeds text watermarks in generated text and adds C2PA provenance metadata to supported files such as .png, .jpg, and .svg. Marks can be lost through editing, screenshots, or format conversion, so their absence does not prove a file is human-made.
