DeepSeek-V3.2 (Thinking Mode) is DeepSeek's latest production model, currently served under the deepseek-reasoner model slug, which is automatically updated as new versions are released.
DeepSeek-V3.2 is a reasoning-first large language model released by DeepSeek as the official successor to V3.2-Exp. It is designed with a focus on agentic capabilities and integrated reasoning for tool-use scenarios.
If the request to the deepseek-reasoner model includes the tools parameter, the request will actually be processed using the deepseek-chat model.
The model introduces a new large-scale agent training data synthesis method covering over 1,800 environments and 85,000+ complex instructions. DeepSeek-V3.2 is the first model from DeepSeek to integrate thinking directly into tool-use, supporting both thinking and non-thinking modes during tool interactions.
According to DeepSeek's benchmarks, the model delivers performance comparable to GPT-5 level while balancing inference quality and output length. It is available via App, Web, and API, making it suitable for general-purpose daily use as well as complex agentic workflows.
