DeepSeek V3.2

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.
Proxy Implications
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.
