DeepSeek
DeepSeek-V3.2, released by DeepSeek on December 1, 2025, is a large language model with 685 billion total parameters featuring integrated thinking in tool-use and support for both reasoning and direct generation modes. It features a 128K token context window and introduced large-scale agent training across 1,800+ environments. DeepSeek-V3.2 targets agentic workflows, complex instruction following, and coding tasks under an open MIT license.
Alibaba / Qwen
Qwen2.5-Coder-7B-Instruct is a 7-billion-parameter code-specialized model from Alibaba, released in November 2024 as part of the Qwen2.5-Coder family, trained on a curated corpus spanning 92 programming languages with emphasis on code generation, debugging, and fill-in-the-middle completion. Built on the Qwen2.5 architecture, it extends the base series' improvements in instruction-following and long-context handling to coding-specific tasks within a compact deployable footprint. It became popular for integration into IDE extensions, CI pipelines, and self-hosted code assistant tools.
