🤖 DeepSeek-V3.2: Advancing the Frontier of Open Large Language Models
A landmark release for open-source AI, this report shows that community-driven models are quickly approaching the quality and sophistication of proprietary frontier systems like GPT-5.
The DeepSeek-AI technical paper presents DeepSeek-V3.2, an open-source large language model that combines computational efficiency with strong reasoning performance. It introduces DeepSeek Sparse Attention (DSA) to reduce complexity, scalable reinforcement learning pipelines, and large-scale synthetic task generation. Benchmarks indicate the model rivals GPT-5 and Gemini-3.0-Pro in reasoning and coding benchmarks, while the ‘Speciale’ variant achieved top scores in international Olympiad-style tests.

❄️ LLMs Are Failing — And Another AI Winter May Be Near
A bold and provocative critique that captures the growing unease in 2025 over whether generative AI can live up to its lofty promises.
The essay argues that large language models built on transformer architectures suffer from fundamental limitations that scaling cannot overcome. Their tendency to produce plausible but inaccurate responses may trigger widespread disillusionment, leading to a downturn reminiscent of past ‘AI winters.’ Only narrow, low-risk applications are expected to remain viable as hype subsides.
