DeepSeek releases open V3.2-Exp with sparse long-context attention
DeepSeek upgraded its API models to DeepSeek-V3.2-Exp and released MIT-licensed weights and code for the 685-billion-parameter experimental model, adding sparse attention intended to make long-context inference more efficient while retaining V3.1-Terminus performance.

Why it moved the index
The exact dated release combined immediate API deployment with openly downloadable weights, code, and permissive licensing. Sparse attention reduces the cost of long-context use while benchmark results retain strong reasoning and agentic tool-use performance. That lowers deployment barriers and competitive cost pressure for a capable model, although the release does not itself establish a loss-of-control incident or real-world autonomous harm.
