DeepSeek-V3.2-Exp processes multimodal inputs by separating structure, semantics, and relationships across images, text, tables, charts, code fragments, and hybrid sources.
It handles real-world mixed-format content where screenshots, diagrams, paragraphs, and symbolic elements appear together in the same workflow.
The model uses a layered architecture that avoids collapsing all modes into a single flat sequence, preserving clarity and improving accuracy in reasoning across multiple files and formats.

DeepSeek-V3.2-Exp uses a layered multimodality pipeline that preserves structure before merging different input types.
DeepSeek-V3.2-Exp interprets each modality through its own structural layer before any alignment happens.
Text is broken into discourse units, definitions, lists, constraints, and hierarchical segments.
Images are decomposed into regions, labels, icons, arrows, geometric elements, and visual groupings.
Tables become structured grids with headers, row blocks, categories, and numeric patterns.
Code transforms into syntax trees, execution flows, and logic branches.
After this structural stage, the model performs semantic alignment that integrates cross-modal relationships without losing internal organization.
This approach prevents early structural collapse and reduces distortions when prompts mix references across modalities.
It also allows the model to maintain coherence when text instructions explicitly depend on elements inside an image or table.

Image interpretation focuses on layout, positional meaning, and structured extraction across real-world visual inputs.
DeepSeek-V3.2-Exp reads images by detecting layout zones, structural cues, embedded text, charts, diagrams, and grouped regions.
It is optimized for screenshots, dashboards, forms, slides, scanned pages, and diagrams that convey information rather than artistic content.
The model reconstructs internal relationships such as headers, sections, clusters of UI elements, labels on charts, arrows in diagrams, and category blocks in slides.
This structural reading enables accurate extraction and reformulation of content for reports, troubleshooting sessions, documentation, and workflow analysis.

Text and image interplay supports cross-referenced reasoning in analytical and operational tasks.
DeepSeek-V3.2-Exp excels at prompts where text instructions reference parts of an image.
The model detects referential language such as “top chart,” “left panel,” “second column,” or “the warning box in the screenshot.”
It associates these references with matching regions in the visual input.
This supports tasks such as:
• rewriting tables extracted from screenshots
• checking if a chart supports or contradicts a written statement
• generating structured descriptions of UI workflows
• extracting KPIs from dashboard photos
• validating the accuracy of written summaries
The cross-modal connections remain active across turns, enabling follow-up questions without re-uploading the image.

Table and chart interpretation combines structural recognition with numeric, categorical, and relational reasoning.
DeepSeek-V3.2-Exp reconstructs tables by identifying rows, headers, categories, and cell groupings.
It handles clean digital tables, PDF tables, and tables inside images or scans with partial degradation.
Chart interpretation focuses on axes, scales, categories, numeric trends, anomalies, proportional relationships, and color encoding.
The model can generate summaries, highlight inconsistencies, convert visual data into text, extract metrics, and restructure information for analysis.

Text-based multimodality supports long structured reasoning with preserved hierarchy and logical anchors.
DeepSeek-V3.2-Exp interprets long text by preserving definitions, constraints, hierarchy, and discourse intent.
The model identifies:
• section headings
• lists and sub-lists
• long explanatory paragraphs
• technical definitions
• narrative sequences
• cross-referenced content
This structure helps the model maintain coherence across large prompts and multi-turn reasoning steps.
It avoids flattening long instructions and preserves the parts most important to task completion.

Code, math, and symbolic inputs extend multimodality into computational and engineering workflows.
DeepSeek-V3.2-Exp reads code by constructing internal syntax representations.
It interprets mathematical expressions as symbolic relationships instead of simple strings.
It handles code in text, code in images, pseudocode, equations, and hybrid symbolic sequences.
This enables:
• explaining the logic of a function
• translating pseudocode into working code
• describing formulas in plain language
• detecting mismatches between formulas and text
• parsing code from screenshots or slides
• linking diagram elements to algorithmic steps
The symbolic layer is designed for precision on isolated fragments rather than multi-file repositories.

Complex multimodal workflows benefit from cross-modal pointers, layered attention, and stable multi-turn integration.
Real workflows often blend multiple modes: screenshots, charts, long text, equations, and tables.
DeepSeek-V3.2-Exp handles these inputs by maintaining modality boundaries while allowing cross-modal reasoning.
It keeps relationships active across turns, enabling incremental refinement.
This supports tasks such as:
• interpreting PDF pages containing tables, charts, and text
• creating documentation from mixed assets
• reconstructing reports from slides, scans, and notes
• analyzing research papers with diagrams and formulas
• troubleshooting using screenshots and configuration snippets
• extracting clean data from messy multimodal sources
By preserving structure and alignment, the model produces consistent and coherent outputs even under heavy multimodal load.
