We're excited to announce that DeepSeek V3.2 and DeepSeek V3.2-Speciale are now live on Featherless! These groundbreaking models from DeepSeek represent a massive leap forward for open-source AI!
What makes V3.2 Special?
DeepSeek v3.2 is built on three major technical breakthroughs:
- DeepSeek Sparse Attention (DSA): A new attention mechanism that reduces computational complexity from O(n²) to near-linear scaling.
- Scalable Reinforcement Learning: DeepSeek invested over 10% of their pre-training compute budget into post-training RL optimization. This results into v3.2 performing on par with GPT-5, while V3.2-Speciale surpasses it.
- Agentic Task Synthesis: A novel trainig pipeline that integrates reasoning directly with tool use. V3.2 can chain multi-step workflows while preserving reasoning context across tool invocations.
(Note: we have recently expanded the list of models that support tool use on Featherless. An updated guide on this is coming out soon!)
The Benchmarks Speak for Themselves
DeepSeek V3.2-Speciale:
- 🥇 Gold medal at the 2025 International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO)
- 🥇 Gold medal at the 2025 International Olympiad in Informatics (IOI)
- 96.0% on AIME 2025 (vs GPT-5's 94.6%)
- 99.2% on Harvard-MIT Mathematics Tournament
- 2701 Codeforces rating (Grandmaster tier)
DeepSeek V3.2 (Standard):
- 93.1% on AIME 2025
- 83.3% on LiveCodeBench

Two Models, Two Use Cases
DeepSeek V3.2 is your versatile all-rounder. It excels at agentic workflows with full tool-calling support,perfect for coding agents, search tasks, and multi-step automation. Think of it as the workhorse for practical applications.
DeepSeek V3.2-Speciale is the reasoning specialist. It's optimized for deep thinking on complex math and coding problems, but doesn't support tool-calling. Use it when you need raw reasoning power over everything else.
