About the Provider

DeepSeek is a Chinese AI research company based in Hangzhou focused on building frontier open-source language models. The company emphasizes open innovation in AI, publishing models and research under permissive licenses to make powerful language models widely accessible and support collaborative development in the global AI community.

Model Quickstart

This section helps you quickly get started with the deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-V3.2 model on the Qubrid AI inferencing platform. To use this model, you need:
  • A valid Qubrid API key
  • Access to the Qubrid inference API
  • Basic knowledge of making API requests in your preferred language
Once authenticated with your API key, you can send inference requests to the deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-V3.2 model and receive responses based on your input prompts. Below are example placeholders showing how the model can be accessed using different programming environments.
You can choose the one that best fits your workflow.
from openai import OpenAI

# Initialize the OpenAI client with Qubrid base URL
client = OpenAI(
    base_url="https://platform.qubrid.com/v1",
    api_key="QUBRID_API_KEY",
)

# Create a streaming chat completion
stream = client.chat.completions.create(
    model="deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-V3.2",
    messages=[
      {
        "role": "user",
        "content": "Explain quantum computing in simple terms"
      }
    ],
    max_tokens=8192,
    temperature=1,
    top_p=0.95,
    stream=True
)

# If stream = False comment this out
for chunk in stream:
    if chunk.choices and chunk.choices[0].delta.content:
        print(chunk.choices[0].delta.content, end="", flush=True)
print("\n")

# If stream = True comment this out
print(stream.choices[0].message.content)

Model Overview

DeepSeek-V3.2 is DeepSeek’s frontier open-source model with 685B total parameters and novel DeepSeek Sparse Attention (DSA) that reduces long-context computational cost by 50%.
  • Trained with a scalable RL framework, it achieves performance comparable to GPT-5, earning gold-medal results at the 2025 IMO and IOI competitions.
  • The model integrates reasoning and tool-use capabilities through large-scale agentic synthesis, making it suitable for complex multi-step workflows and long-horizon automation.
