Chinese startup releases open-source reasoning models under MIT license.

Chinese AI startup DeepSeek launched two powerful reasoning models, V3.2 and V3.2-Speciale, that compete with frontier models while drastically reducing costs and maintaining open-source accessibility under an MIT license. The standard V3.2 matches performance of GPT-5, Claude 4.5 Sonnet, and Gemini 3 Pro across math, coding, and tool-use benchmarks. The more computationally intensive Speciale variant achieved gold medals at prestigious competitions including IMO, IOI, and ICPC 2025, ranking 10th overall at IOI. At just $0.28 input and $0.42 output per million tokens, V3.2 costs nearly 30 times less than Gemini 3.0 Pro. Both 685-billion-parameter models are available on Hugging Face with full weights released, representing a significant advancement in accessible, cost-effective AI capabilities.
