GPT-4.1 Mini (Free) vs Deepseek v3.2

A mid-sized GPT-4.1 model delivering performance competitive with GPT-4o at substantially lower latency and cost. Retains a 1 million token context window and demonstrates strong coding ability and vision understanding, making it suitable for interactive applications with tight performance constraints.

DeepSeek-V3.2 is a large language model optimized for high computational efficiency and strong tool-use reasoning. It features DeepSeek Sparse Attention (DSA), a mechanism that lowers training and inference costs while maintaining quality in long-context tasks. A scalable reinforcement learning post-training framework further enhances reasoning, achieving performance comparable to GPT-5 and earning top results on the 2025 IMO and IOI. V3.2 also leverages large-scale agentic task synthesis to improve reasoning in practical tool-use scenarios, boosting its generalization and compliance in interactive environments.
