While the model the Hangzhou-based company released in September was called Deep-Seek-V3.2-Exp in a nod to its experimental status, the latest version is dubbed simply Deep-Seek-V3.2. The startup says the new service matches the performance of OpenAl Inc.’s flagship GPT-5 across multiple reasoning benchmarks, suggesting China's open-source systems remain competitive with Silicon Valley's frontier proprietary models on at least certain metrics.
