Price: Uses Fireworks pricing (proxied model)
DeepSeek V3.2 is proxied to Fireworks — it is not self-hosted by Synthetic. This means Synthetic cannot control reliability or fix tool-calling issues. Uptime is approximately 99.5% (per status.synthetic.new).
DeepSeek V3.2 is a powerful model that was one of the first available on Synthetic, but its experience has been inconsistent due to proxying.
Pros: Strong model capabilities. One of the fastest models when working properly (fastest proxied model over 24hrs in early 2026).
Cons: Tool calling reliability is poor due to proxying. Occasional timeout issues. Synthetic cannot patch the inference engine for this model. When DeepSeek 4 comes out, Synthetic has indicated they will try to self-host it.
Because DeepSeek V3.2 is proxied to Fireworks:
Synthetic forwards the price they pay the underlying inference provider
Tool calling bugs cannot be fixed on Synthetic’s end
TTFT and TPS depend on Fireworks’ infrastructure
If Fireworks stops hosting it, Synthetic will have to stop supporting it too
For better reliability, prefer self-hosted models like GLM-5, Kimi K2.5, or GLM-4.7-Flash.
