Questions people ask
Which is better, DeepSeek-V3 or EXAONE 4.0 32B?
DeepSeek-V3 wins four of the five areas where both have results: coding, facts, long documents and following instructions. EXAONE 4.0 32B wins reasoning.
Which is better for coding?
DeepSeek-V3. It wins 2 of the 2 coding tests both models report; EXAONE 4.0 32B wins none.
How do you compare the two?
We use the 17 benchmark tests both models have published scores on. The verdict counts the 9 tests in the eight capability areas, and a gap under one point (ten on rating-style scales) counts as a tie. The other 8 are listed but not counted, because several are summary scores or repeat a test. Each score is the one shown on the model's own page.
