DeepSeek V3.2 vs Qwen3.5-122B-A10B

Pick Qwen3.5-122B-A10B if you want the stronger benchmark profile. DeepSeek V3.2 only becomes the better choice if you would rather avoid the extra latency and token burn of a reasoning model.

Qwen3.5-122B-A10B is clearly ahead on the provisional aggregate, 65 to 58. The gap is large enough that you do not need to squint at the spreadsheet to see the difference.

Qwen3.5-122B-A10B's sharpest advantage is in coding, where it averages 72 against 60.9.

DeepSeek V3.2 is also the more expensive model on tokens at $0.28 input / $0.42 output per 1M tokens, versus $0.00 input / $0.00 output per 1M tokens for Qwen3.5-122B-A10B. That is roughly Infinityx on output cost alone. Qwen3.5-122B-A10B is the reasoning model in the pair, while DeepSeek V3.2 is not. That usually helps on harder chain-of-thought-heavy tests, but it can also mean more latency and more token spend in real use. Qwen3.5-122B-A10B gives you the larger context window at 262K, compared with 128K for DeepSeek V3.2.
