## 1. Model Introduction

The DeepSeek-V3.2 series includes three model variants, each optimized for different use cases:

**[DeepSeek-V3.2-Exp](https://huggingface.co/deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-V3.2-Exp)** is an upgraded version of DeepSeek-V3.1-Terminus, introducing the DeepSeek Sparse Attention (DSA) mechanism through continued training. DSA is a fine-grained sparse attention mechanism powered by a lightning indexer, enabling DeepSeek-V3.2-Exp to achieve significant efficiency improvements in long-context scenarios. Recommended for general conversations, long-context processing, and efficient inference.

**[DeepSeek-V3.2](https://huggingface.co/deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-V3.2)** is the standard version suitable for general tasks and conversational scenarios. For local deployment, we recommend setting the sampling parameters to temperature = 1.0, top_p = 0.95. Recommended for standard conversations and general tasks.

**[DeepSeek-V3.2-Speciale](https://huggingface.co/deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-V3.2-Speciale)** is a special variant designed exclusively for deep reasoning tasks. This model is specifically optimized for scenarios requiring complex logical reasoning and deep thinking. However this model does not support tool calls (see below). For local deployment, we recommend setting the sampling parameters to temperature = 1.0, top_p = 0.95. Recommended for deep reasoning tasks, complex logical problems, and mathematical reasoning.

**[DeepSeek-V3.2-NVFP4](https://huggingface.co/nvidia/DeepSeek-V3.2-NVFP4)** is an NVIDIA-optimized NVFP4-quantized variant of DeepSeek-V3.2 for Blackwell devices. It uses ModelOpt FP4 quantization with a choice of MoE runner backends (`flashinfer_trtllm` (recommended), `flashinfer_cutlass`, or `flashinfer_cutedsl`), enabling efficient deployment with lower tensor parallelism (TP=4). It supports the same features as DeepSeek-V3.2 including tool calling, reasoning, and speculative decoding (MTP).

**[DeepSeek-V3.2-MXFP4](https://huggingface.co/amd/DeepSeek-V3.2-mxfp4)** is an OCP-MXFP4 optimized variant for DeepSeek-V3.2 for AMD MI300X/MI355X devices. It uses OCP MXFP4 quantization with a triton mxfp4 backend (the same backend for gptoss-120B), enabling efficient deployment with lower tensor parallelism (TP=8) in a single node. It includes the same features as DeepSeek-V3.2 including tool calling, reasoning, fp8-kv, CP, TP and speculative decoding MTP.

## 2. SGLang Installation

SGLang offers multiple installation methods. You can choose the most suitable installation method based on your hardware platform and requirements.

Please refer to the [official SGLang installation guide](../../../docs/get-started/install) for installation instructions.

docker pull lmsysorg/sglang:v0.5.8-rocm700-mi35x

# AMD MI300X
# Note: v0.5.8-rocm700-mi30x does not include PR #17504.
# Prefer the newest MI30x ROCm image tag from Docker Hub when available, or build from source.
docker pull lmsysorg/sglang:v0.5.8-rocm700-mi30x

# Ascend NPU (Atlas 800I A2 / A3)
docker pull lmsysorg/sglang:dsv32-a2
docker pull lmsysorg/sglang:dsv32-a3
```

## 3. Model Deployment

This section provides a progressive guide from quick deployment to performance optimization, suitable for users at different levels.

### 3.1 Basic Configuration

**Interactive Command Generator**: Use the configuration selector below to automatically generate the appropriate deployment command for your hardware platform, model variant, deployment strategy, and thinking capabilities. SGLang supports serving DeepSeek V3.2 on NVIDIA H200, B200, and AMD MI300X/MI355X GPUs.

import { DeepSeekV32Deployment } from "/src/snippets/autoregressive/deepseek-v32-deployment.jsx";

<DeepSeekV32Deployment />

<Warning>
  All recipes here run the DSA indexer top-k on the default `--dsa-topk-backend sgl-kernel`. Other top-k backend choices have not been fully validated on DeepSeek-V3.2.
</Warning>

### 3.2 Configuration Tips

- **Short-sequence MHA prefill (adaptive):** For prefill sequences shorter than 2048 tokens (default threshold), the DSA backend automatically switches to standard MHA (using FlashAttention variable-length on SM90, TRT-LLM ragged MHA on SM100). To extend this to longer sequences set env var `SGLANG_DSA_PREFILL_DENSE_ATTN_KV_LEN_THRESHOLD` to a larger value (potential minor accuracy trade-off).
- **DSA prefill/decode attention kernels (`--dsa-prefill-backend`, `--dsa-decode-backend`):** The `dsa` backend is automatically selected for DeepSeek-V3.2. Available kernels: `flashmla_sparse`, `flashmla_sparse_q8` (native FP8 e4m3 sparse prefill — no fp8→bf16 dequantization round-trip; Hopper SM90 + `--kv-cache-dtype fp8_e4m3` only, prefill only), `flashmla_kv`, `flashmla_auto`, `fa3` (Hopper only), `tilelang` (GPU/HPU/NPU), `aiter` (AMD, decode only), `trtllm` (Blackwell only). Defaults: Hopper BF16 KV → `flashmla_sparse` prefill / `fa3` decode; Hopper FP8 KV → `flashmla_kv` both; Blackwell BF16 → `flashmla_sparse` / `trtllm`; Blackwell FP8 → `trtllm` both.
- **Index Cache:** Reuses indexer results across layers for efficiency at negligible accuracy cost. For **GLM-5** specifically, append `--json-model-override-args '{"index_topk_pattern": "FFSFSSSFSSFFFSSSFFFSFSSSSSSFFSFFSFFSSFFFFFFSFFFFFSFFSSSSSSFSFFFSFSSSFSFFSFFSSS"}'` for a better speed/accuracy tradeoff.
- **HiSparse (experimental):** Reduces per-request GPU memory during long-context decode by offloading KV data to CPU pinned memory. Requires PD disaggregation mode (decode instance only). See [HiSparse Guide](../../../docs/advanced_features/hisparse_guide).
- **NVFP4 on Blackwell:** Specify `--quantization modelopt_fp4` and `--moe-runner-backend flashinfer_trtllm` (recommended) / `flashinfer_cutlass` / `flashinfer_cutedsl`. Full example:
  ```bash
  python -m sglang.launch_server --model nvidia/DeepSeek-V3.2-NVFP4 --tp 4 \
    --quantization modelopt_fp4 --moe-runner-backend flashinfer_trtllm \
    --tool-call-parser deepseekv32 --reasoning-parser deepseek-v3
  ```
- **NCCL timeout:** Slow model loading → add `--dist-timeout 3600`.

## 4. Model Invocation

### 4.1 Basic Usage

For basic API usage and request examples, please refer to:

- [Basic API Usage](../../../docs/basic_usage/send_request)

### 4.2 Advanced Usage

#### 4.2.1 Reasoning Parser

DeepSeek-V3.2 supports reasoning mode. Enable the reasoning parser during deployment to separate the thinking and content sections:

```shell Command
sglang serve \
  --model-path deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-V3.2-Exp \
  --reasoning-parser deepseek-v3 \
  --tp 8 \
  --host 0.0.0.0 \
  --port 30000
```

**Streaming with Thinking Process:**

```python Example
from openai import OpenAI

client = OpenAI(
    base_url="http://localhost:30000/v1",
    api_key="EMPTY"
)

# Enable streaming to see the thinking process in real-time
response = client.chat.completions.create(
    model="deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-V3.2-Exp",
    messages=[
        {"role": "user", "content": "Solve this problem step by step: What is 15% of 240?"}
    ],
    temperature=0.7,
    max_tokens=2048,
    extra_body = {"chat_template_kwargs": {"thinking": True}},
    stream=True
)

# Process the stream
has_thinking = False
has_answer = False
thinking_started = False

for chunk in response:
    if chunk.choices and len(chunk.choices) > 0:
        delta = chunk.choices[0].delta

        # Print thinking process
        if hasattr(delta, 'reasoning_content') and delta.reasoning_content:
            if not thinking_started:
                print("=============== Thinking =================", flush=True)
                thinking_started = True
            has_thinking = True
            print(delta.reasoning_content, end="", flush=True)

        # Print answer content
        if delta.content:
            # Close thinking section and add content header
            if has_thinking and not has_answer:
                print("\n=============== Content =================", flush=True)
                has_answer = True
            print(delta.content, end="", flush=True)

print()
```

**Output Example:**

```text Output
=============== Thinking =================
To solve this problem, I need to calculate 15% of 240.
Step 1: Convert 15% to decimal: 15% = 0.15
Step 2: Multiply 240 by 0.15
Step 3: 240 × 0.15 = 36
=============== Content =================

The answer is 36. To find 15% of 240, we multiply 240 by 0.15, which equals 36.
```

**Note:** The reasoning parser captures the model's step-by-step thinking process, allowing you to see how the model arrives at its conclusions.

#### 4.2.2 Tool Calling

DeepSeek-V3.2 and DeepSeek-V3.2-Exp support tool calling capabilities. But they use different parameters. Enable the tool call parser:

**Note:** DeepSeek-V3.2-Speciale does **NOT** support tool calling. Launch it with reasoning parser only:

```shell Command
python3 -m sglang.launch_server \
  --model-path deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-V3.2-Speciale \
  --trust-remote-code \
  --tp-size 8 --dp-size 8 --enable-dp-attention \
  --reasoning-parser deepseek-v3
```

**Deployment Command:**

For DeepSeek-V3.2-Exp:

```shell Command
sglang serve \
  --model-path deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-V3.2-Exp \
  --tool-call-parser deepseekv31 \
  --reasoning-parser deepseek-v3 \
  --chat-template ./examples/chat_template/tool_chat_template_deepseekv32.jinja \
  --tp 8 \
  --host 0.0.0.0 \
  --port 30000
```

For DeepSeek-V3.2, use `--tool-call-parser deepseekv32` and remove `--chat-template`.

**Python Example (with Thinking Process):**

```python Example
from openai import OpenAI

client = OpenAI(
    base_url="http://localhost:30000/v1",
    api_key="EMPTY"
)

# Define available tools
tools = [
    {
        "type": "function",
        "function": {
            "name": "get_weather",
            "description": "Get the current weather for a location",
            "parameters": {
                "type": "object",
                "properties": {
                    "location": {
                        "type": "string",
                        "description": "The city name"
                    },
                    "unit": {
                        "type": "string",
                        "enum": ["celsius", "fahrenheit"],
                        "description": "Temperature unit"
                    }
                },
                "required": ["location"]
            }
        }
    }
]

# Make request with streaming to see thinking process
response = client.chat.completions.create(
    model="deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-V3.2-Exp",
    messages=[
        {"role": "user", "content": "What's the weather in Beijing?"}
    ],
    tools=tools,
    extra_body = {"chat_template_kwargs": {"thinking": True}},
    temperature=0.7,
    stream=True
)

# Process streaming response
thinking_started = False
has_thinking = False
tool_calls_accumulator = {}

for chunk in response:
    if chunk.choices and len(chunk.choices) > 0:
        delta = chunk.choices[0].delta

        # Print thinking process
        if hasattr(delta, 'reasoning_content') and delta.reasoning_content:
            if not thinking_started:
                print("=============== Thinking =================", flush=True)
                thinking_started = True
            has_thinking = True
            print(delta.reasoning_content, end="", flush=True)

        # Accumulate tool calls
        if hasattr(delta, 'tool_calls') and delta.tool_calls:
            # Close thinking section if needed
            if has_thinking and thinking_started:
                print("\n=============== Content =================\n", flush=True)
                thinking_started = False

            for tool_call in delta.tool_calls:
                index = tool_call.index
                if index not in tool_calls_accumulator:
                    tool_calls_accumulator[index] = {
                        'name': None,
                        'arguments': ''
                    }

                if tool_call.function:
                    if tool_call.function.name:
                        tool_calls_accumulator[index]['name'] = tool_call.function.name
                    if tool_call.function.arguments:
                        tool_calls_accumulator[index]['arguments'] += tool_call.function.arguments

        # Print content
        if delta.content:
            print(delta.content, end="", flush=True)

# Print accumulated tool calls
for index, tool_call in sorted(tool_calls_accumulator.items()):
    print(f"Tool Call: {tool_call['name']}")
    print(f"   Arguments: {tool_call['arguments']}")

print()
```

**Output Example:**

```text Output
=============== Thinking =================
The user is asking about the weather in Beijing. I need to use the get_weather function to retrieve this information.
I should call the function with location="Beijing".
=============== Content =================

Tool Call: get_weather
   Arguments: {"location": "Beijing", "unit": "celsius"}
```

**Note:**

- The reasoning parser shows how the model decides to use a tool
- Tool calls are clearly marked with the function name and arguments
- You can then execute the function and send the result back to continue the conversation

**Handling Tool Call Results:**

```python Example
# After getting the tool call, execute the function
def get_weather(location, unit="celsius"):
    # Your actual weather API call here
    return f"The weather in {location} is 22°{unit[0].upper()} and sunny."

# Send tool result back to the model
messages = [
    {"role": "user", "content": "What's the weather in Beijing?"},
    {
        "role": "assistant",
        "content": None,
        "tool_calls": [{
            "id": "call_123",
            "type": "function",
            "function": {
                "name": "get_weather",
                "arguments": '{"location": "Beijing", "unit": "celsius"}'
            }
        }]
    },
    {
        "role": "tool",
        "tool_call_id": "call_123",
        "content": get_weather("Beijing", "celsius")
    }
]

final_response = client.chat.completions.create(
    model="deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-V3.2-Exp",
    messages=messages,
    temperature=0.7
)

print(final_response.choices[0].message.content)
# Output: "The weather in Beijing is currently 22°C and sunny."
```

#### 4.2.3 Multi-Token Prediction (EAGLE Speculative Decoding)

SGLang implements Multi-Token Prediction (MTP) for DeepSeek V3.2 based on [EAGLE speculative decoding](../../../docs/advanced_features/speculative_decoding#eagle-decoding). This optimization significantly improves decoding speed for small batch sizes.

**With DP Attention:**

```bash Command
python -m sglang.launch_server --model deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-V3.2-Exp --tp 8 --dp 8 \
  --enable-dp-attention \
  --speculative-algorithm EAGLE \
  --speculative-num-steps 3 --speculative-eagle-topk 1 --speculative-num-draft-tokens 4
```

**With Pure TP:**

```bash Command
python -m sglang.launch_server --model deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-V3.2-Exp --tp 8 \
  --speculative-algorithm EAGLE \
  --speculative-num-steps 3 --speculative-eagle-topk 1 --speculative-num-draft-tokens 4
```

Find optimal values for your workload with [bench_speculative.py](https://github.com/sgl-project/sglang/blob/main/scripts/playground/bench_speculative.py). The minimum viable config is `--speculative-num-steps 1 --speculative-eagle-topk 1 --speculative-num-draft-tokens 2`.

<Note>
`--max-running-requests` defaults to 48 for MTP. Increase it for larger batch sizes.
</Note>

<Tip>
The spec-v2 overlap scheduler is enabled by default. Pass `--disable-overlap-schedule` to disable.
</Tip>

#### 4.2.4 PD Disaggregation

Prefill-Decode (PD) disaggregation separates prefill and decode stages onto different instances, improving GPU utilization for mixed workloads.

**Prefill command:**

```bash Command
python -m sglang.launch_server \
  --model-path deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-V3.2-Exp \
  --disaggregation-mode prefill \
  --host $LOCAL_IP \
  --port $PORT \
  --tp 8 \
  --dp 8 \
  --enable-dp-attention \
  --dist-init-addr ${HOST}:${DIST_PORT} \
  --trust-remote-code \
  --disaggregation-bootstrap-port 8998 \
  --mem-fraction-static 0.9
```

**Decode command:**

```bash Command
python -m sglang.launch_server \
  --model-path deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-V3.2-Exp \
  --disaggregation-mode decode \
  --host $LOCAL_IP \
  --port $PORT \
  --tp 8 \
  --dp 8 \
  --enable-dp-attention \
  --dist-init-addr ${HOST}:${DIST_PORT} \
  --trust-remote-code \
  --mem-fraction-static 0.9
```

**Router command:**

```bash Command
python -m sglang_router.launch_router --pd-disaggregation \
  --prefill $PREFILL_ADDR 8998 \
  --decode $DECODE_ADDR \
  --host 127.0.0.1 \
  --port 30000
```

For production deployments (RBG / LWS-based, DeepEP EP parallelism), see [multi_node_deployment docs](../../../docs/references/multi_node_deployment/rbg_pd/deepseekv32_pd).

#### 4.2.5 DSA Long-Sequence Context Parallel and PP/CP

SGLang provides two context parallel (CP) modes for long-sequence workloads, controlled with `--dsa-prefill-cp-mode`.

**In-sequence splitting** (`--dsa-prefill-cp-mode in-seq-split`): Each CP rank handles a uniform shard of the sequence; KV cache is gathered via all-gather. Batch size is restricted to 1 during prefill. See [PR #12065](https://github.com/sgl-project/sglang/pull/12065).

```bash Command
# In-seq splitting mode — EP + DP, batch size 1
python -m sglang.launch_server --model deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-V3.2-Exp \
  --tp 8 --ep 8 --dp 2 --enable-dp-attention \
  --enable-dsa-prefill-context-parallel --attn-cp-size 4 \
  --dsa-prefill-cp-mode in-seq-split --max-running-requests 32
```

**Round-robin splitting** (`--dsa-prefill-cp-mode round-robin-split`, default): Distributes tokens by `token_idx % cp_size`. Supports fused MoE, FP8 KV cache, and multi-batch prefill. Cannot be combined with DP attention. See [PR #13959](https://github.com/sgl-project/sglang/pull/13959).

```bash Command
# Round-robin splitting — FusedMoE + CP8
python -m sglang.launch_server --model deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-V3.2-Exp \
  --tp 8 --enable-dsa-prefill-context-parallel --attn-cp-size 8 \
  --dsa-prefill-cp-mode round-robin-split --max-running-requests 32
```

**PP + CP (multi-node):** Combines Pipeline Parallelism and Context Parallelism for cross-node scaling. The production-optimized configurations below have been verified on Hopper:

We suggested `DP2` + `MTP` for local deployment of agentic workflow with DeepSeek V3.2 on Hopper platform:

```shell Command
export SGLANG_DEEPEP_LL_COMBINE_SEND_NUM_SMS=32
export SGLANG_SET_CPU_AFFINITY=1

# Test workload ISL/OSL=1k/1k, raw tap : 4948.16 toks/sec, MAX ITL 5970
#   dp 2 : 5019.54  toks/sec, MAX ITL 7233
#   dp 4 : 4942.82  toks/sec, MAX ITL 35654
#   dp 2 + mtp : 6842.51 toks/sec, MAX ITL 3081
sglang_args=$(echo serve \
  --model-path $MAPPED_MODEL_PATH \
  --nccl-init $MASTER_ADDR:$MASTER_PORT --nnodes 2 --node-rank $RANK --tp 16 \
  --dp 2 --enable-dp-attention --page-size 64 \
  --trust-remote-code --host "0.0.0.0" --port 30000 \
  --log-requests \
  --context-length 65536 --max-running-requests 128 \
  --speculative-algorithm EAGLE \
  --speculative-num-steps 2 --speculative-eagle-topk 1 --speculative-num-draft-tokens 3 \
  --allow-auto-truncate --enable-metrics \
  --tool-call-parser deepseekv32 --reasoning-parser deepseek-v3 \
  --served-model-name DeepSeek-V3.2-Opt-dp2-mtp
)

sglang_args=($sglang_args)

sglang "${sglang_args[@]}" 2>&1 | tee $LOG_DIR/$RANK.log
```

**CP + PP + EP + DP**

`CP` is currently enabled with `PP=2` on Hopper platform and we can reduce TP=16 to TP=8 from standalone deployment:

```shell Command
# verified on Hopper platform
sglang_args=$(echo serve \
  --model-path $MAPPED_MODEL_PATH \
  --nccl-init $MASTER_ADDR:$MASTER_PORT --nnodes 2 --node-rank $RANK --tp 8 --pp-size 2 --dp 1 --enable-dp-attention \
  --moe-a2a-backend deepep --ep-size 16  \
  --page-size 128 \
  --chunked-prefill-size 16384 \
  --attention-backend dsa \
  --dsa-prefill-backend flashmla_sparse \
  --dsa-decode-backend flashmla_sparse \
  --enable-dsa-prefill-context-parallel \
  --dsa-prefill-cp-mode round-robin-split \
  --cuda-graph-max-bs-decode 128 \
  --max-running-requests 128 \
  --trust-remote-code --host "0.0.0.0" --port 30000 \
  --log-requests \
  --context-length 65536 \
  --allow-auto-truncate --enable-metrics \
  --tool-call-parser deepseekv32 --reasoning-parser deepseek-v3 \
  --served-model-name DeepSeek-V3.2-dsa-pp-cp-ep-dp
)

sglang_args=($sglang_args)

sglang "${sglang_args[@]}" 2>&1 | tee $LOG_DIR/$RANK.log
```

**fp8 KV + CP + PP**

With FP8 KV, we can have less memory footprint. This can be combined with various parallel schemes:

```shell Command
# verified in Hopper platform
dp=1

dp_config=" \
  --dp 1 --enable-dp-attention \
"

cp_config=" \
  --enable-dsa-prefill-context-parallel \
"

if [ "$dp" -eq 1 ]; then

cp_config=" \
  $cp_config \
  --dsa-prefill-cp-mode round-robin-split \
"

else
cp_config=" \
  $cp_config \
  --dsa-prefill-cp-mode in-seq-split \
"
fi

## 5. Benchmark

### 5.1 Speed Benchmark on Blackwell

**Test Environment:**

- Hardware: NVIDIA B200 GPU (8x)
- Model: DeepSeek-V3.2-Exp
- Tensor Parallelism: 8
- sglang version: 0.5.6

We use SGLang's built-in benchmarking tool to conduct performance evaluation on the [ShareGPT_Vicuna_unfiltered](https://huggingface.co/datasets/anon8231489123/ShareGPT_Vicuna_unfiltered) dataset. This dataset contains real conversation data and can better reflect performance in actual use scenarios. To simulate real-world usage patterns, we configure each request with 1024 input tokens and 1024 output tokens, representing typical medium-length conversations with detailed responses.

#### 5.3.2 Throughput-Sensitive Benchmark

We simply use the same deployment method and vary the throughput by maximizing concurrencies:

```shell Command
python3 -m sglang.bench_serving \
  --backend sglang \
  --host $MASTER_ADDR \
  --port 30000 \
  --model deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-V3.2 \
  --random-input-len 1024 \
  --random-output-len 1024 \
  --num-prompts 2048 \
  --max-concurrency 1024 # see picture below why we use 1024 for concurrency, hence num prompts 2048
```

DeepSeek 3.2 can steadily support concurrency up to `1024` and when concurrency is greater than `128`, the TTFT increase sharply:
