DeepSeek
DeepSeek-V3.2-Exp (DeepSeek-V3.2 Thinking), released by DeepSeek in September 2025, is the experimental preview release of the DeepSeek-V3.2 model featuring 685 billion total parameters and integrated thinking capabilities. It introduced the architecture and training approaches that became the foundation of the final V3.2 release, including thinking in tool-use and hybrid reasoning modes.
Alibaba / Qwen
Qwen2.5-32B-Instruct is a 32-billion-parameter open-weight model from Alibaba's Qwen team, released in September 2024 as part of the Qwen2.5 series trained on 18 trillion tokens. The model is positioned as a high-capability option for developers with access to multi-GPU setups or high-VRAM hardware, offering strong performance on coding, structured reasoning, and multilingual tasks while remaining fully open under Apache 2.0. Its 128K context window and support for structured output generation made it a popular choice for document processing and agentic workflows in the open-source community.
