TSEmbed: Unlocking Task Scaling in Universal Multimodal Embeddings
Despite the exceptional reasoning capabilities of Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs), their adaptation into universal embedding models is significantly impeded by task conflict. To address this, we propose TSEmbed, a universal multimodal embedding framework that synergizes Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) with Low-Rank Adaptation (LoRA) to explicitly disentangle conflicting task objectives. Moreover, we introduce Expert-Aware Negative Sampling (EANS), a novel strategy that leverages expert routing distributions as an intrinsic proxy for semantic similarity. By dynamically prioritizing informative hard negatives that share expert activation patterns with the query, EANS effectively sharpens the model's discriminative power and refines embedding boundaries. To ensure training stability, we further devise a two-stage learning paradigm that solidifies expert specialization before optimizing representations via EANS. TSEmbed achieves state-of-the-art performance on both the Massive Multimodal Embedding Benchmark (MMEB) and real-world industrial production datasets, laying a foundation for task-level scaling in universal multimodal embeddings.
DeepSeek-V3.2: Pushing the Frontier of Open Large Language Models
We introduce DeepSeek-V3.2, a model that harmonizes high computational efficiency with superior reasoning and agent performance. The key technical breakthroughs of DeepSeek-V3.2 are as follows: (1) DeepSeek Sparse Attention (DSA): We introduce DSA, an efficient attention mechanism that substantially reduces computational complexity while preserving model performance in long-context scenarios. (2) Scalable Reinforcement Learning Framework: By implementing a robust reinforcement learning protocol and scaling post-training compute, DeepSeek-V3.2 performs comparably to GPT-5. Notably, our high-compute variant, DeepSeek-V3.2-Speciale, surpasses GPT-5 and exhibits reasoning proficiency on par with Gemini-3.0-Pro, achieving gold-medal performance in both the 2025 International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO) and the International Olympiad in Informatics (IOI). (3) Large-Scale Agentic Task Synthesis Pipeline: To integrate reasoning into tool-use scenarios, we developed a novel synthesis pipeline that systematically generates training data at scale. This methodology facilitates scalable agentic post-training, yielding substantial improvements in generalization and instruction-following robustness within complex, interactive environments.
DeepSeek-R1: Incentivizing Reasoning Capability in LLMs via Reinforcement Learning
General reasoning represents a long-standing and formidable challenge in artificial intelligence. Recent breakthroughs, exemplified by large language models (LLMs) and chain-of-thought prompting, have achieved considerable success on foundational reasoning tasks. However, this success is heavily contingent upon extensive human-annotated demonstrations, and models' capabilities are still insufficient for more complex problems. Here we show that the reasoning abilities of LLMs can be incentivized through pure reinforcement learning (RL), obviating the need for human-labeled reasoning trajectories. The proposed RL framework facilitates the emergent development of advanced reasoning patterns, such as self-reflection, verification, and dynamic strategy adaptation. Consequently, the trained model achieves superior performance on verifiable tasks such as mathematics, coding competitions, and STEM fields, surpassing its counterparts trained via conventional supervised learning on human demonstrations. Moreover, the emergent reasoning patterns exhibited by these large-scale models can be systematically harnessed to guide and enhance the reasoning capabilities of smaller models.
