DeepSeek V3.2

DeepSeek V3.2 is designed as a Frontier model for language, code, and reasoning, using the same MoE architecture as its predecessor with 671 billion total and 37 billion active parameters. The model operates with a 128,000-token context window, is available as an Open Weights variant for local deployment, and is accessible via cloud API at low prices. The Chinese jurisdiction makes an assessment of cloud deployment necessary.

Sovereign Risk: HIGH DeepSeek is a Chinese company and is subject to China’s National Security Law (NSL), which may allow state access to data and models. The BSI issued a warning on 02/04/2025 against using the DeepSeek cloud service; when running the Open Weights variant exclusively on-premises without any data transfer to China, the cloud-specific risk scenario is reduced.
