## FAQ

### Can I compare DeepSeek-R1 and DeepSeek V3.2 on BenchLM yet?

Not fully yet. BenchLM is tracking both models, but sourced benchmark coverage is still incomplete for a fair score-level comparison.

### Why does this page show "coming soon" values?

BenchLM only calls winners when public benchmark coverage is available on both sides of the comparison.
