### 【Dependencies / Installation】
As of **2025-09-30**, create a fresh Python environment and run:
```bash
pip install -U pip
pip install vllm --pre --extra-index-url https://wheels.vllm.ai/nightly
pip install https://wheels.vllm.ai/dsv32/deep_gemm-2.1.0%2B594953a-cp312-cp312-linux_x86_64.whl
```
For more details, please refer to vLLM documentation [[link]](https://docs.vllm.ai/projects/recipes/en/latest/DeepSeek/DeepSeek-V3_2-Exp.html)
### 【vLLM Startup Command - Single Node with 6 GPUs】
Note, as of **2025-09-30**:
1. Only Hopper and Blackwell data center GPUs are supported for now.
2. The kernels are mainly optimized for TP=1, so it is recommended to run this model under DP/EP mode
3. DP mode may result in increased serving latency. To mitigate this, we recommend enabling MTP to maintain optimal speed. To disable MTP, simply remove the `--speculative-config` flag.
4. Some users have observed improved performance on H20 machines by setting `export VLLM_USE_DEEP_GEMM=0`

# DeepSeek-V3.2-Exp
## Introduction
We are excited to announce the official release of DeepSeek-V3.2-Exp, an experimental version of our model. As an intermediate step toward our next-generation architecture, V3.2-Exp builds upon V3.1-Terminus by introducing DeepSeek Sparse Attention—a sparse attention mechanism designed to explore and validate optimizations for training and inference efficiency in long-context scenarios.
This experimental release represents our ongoing research into more efficient transformer architectures, particularly focusing on improving computational efficiency when processing extended text sequences.
- DeepSeek Sparse Attention (DSA) achieves fine-grained sparse attention for the first time, delivering substantial improvements in long-context training and inference efficiency while maintaining virtually identical model output quality.
- To rigorously evaluate the impact of introducing sparse attention, we deliberately aligned the training configurations of DeepSeek-V3.2-Exp with V3.1-Terminus. Across public benchmarks in various domains, DeepSeek-V3.2-Exp demonstrates performance on par with V3.1-Terminus.

## How to Run Locally
### HuggingFace
We provide an updated inference demo code in the [inference](https://huggingface.co/deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-V3.2-Exp/tree/main/inference) folder to help the community quickly get started with our model and understand its architectural details.
First convert huggingface model weights to the the format required by our inference demo. Set `MP` to match your available GPU count:
```bash
cd inference
export EXPERTS=256
python convert.py --hf-ckpt-path ${HF_CKPT_PATH} --save-path ${SAVE_PATH} --n-experts ${EXPERTS} --model-parallel ${MP}
```
Launch the interactive chat interface and start exploring DeepSeek's capabilities:
```bash
export CONFIG=config_671B_v3.2.json
torchrun --nproc-per-node ${MP} generate.py --ckpt-path ${SAVE_PATH} --config ${CONFIG} --interactive
```
