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-Coder-32B-Instruct is a 32-billion-parameter code-specialized model from Alibaba, released in November 2024 and trained on a large corpus spanning 92 programming languages including C, Python, Java, Rust, and domain-specific languages. The model was designed to provide competitive code generation, repair, and reasoning capabilities as an open-weight alternative for developers building code assistant tools and automated review pipelines. Its 128K context window enables whole-file and multi-file code comprehension, making it particularly suited for complex repository-level tasks.
