## Summary DeepSeek V3.2 (`DeepseekV32ForCausalLM`) is already supported by exo's inference engine (architecture whitelisted in `model_cards.py`, DSML encoding added in #1548), but **doesn't work out of the box** due to two bugs: ### Bug 1: `warmup_inference` passes empty model ID `warmup_inference()` in `generate.py` accepts `model_id: ModelId` as a parameter but creates `TextGenerationTaskParams(model=ModelId(""), ...)` instead of using it. Since `_needs_dsml_encoding()` checks `"deepseek-v3.2" in task_params.model.lower()`, the empty string never matches → falls back to `tokenizer.apply_chat_template()` → **ValueError** because V3.2 has no Jinja chat template. **Fix:** `model=ModelId("")` → `model=model_id` (one line). ### Bug 2: `_needs_dsml_encoding` limited to tool calling `_needs_dsml_encoding()` returns `True` only when `task_params.tools` is present or tool messages exist in `chat_template_messages`. For warmup and regular chat requests without tools → `return False` → Jinja fallback → **ValueError**. Unlike V3.1 (which has a `.jinja` chat template file that transformers picks up automatically), V3.2 **has no Jinja template at all** — it uses Python-based DSML encoding for all message types. **Fix:** For V3.2, always return `True` — DSML encoding handles all message types. ### Catalog cards Added inference model cards for: - `mlx-community/DeepSeek-V3.2-8bit` - `mlx-community/DeepSeek-V3.2-4bit` Parameters taken from model `config.json` on HuggingFace, storage sizes from HF API. Capabilities include `thinking_toggle` (related: #1456). ## Notes - The model ID string matching approach (`"deepseek-v3.2" in model.lower()`) is acknowledged tech debt — see #1371 for the planned architecture-based approach. ## Test plan - [x] Start exo with DeepSeek V3.2 model → warmup should complete without crash - [x] Send a regular chat message (no tools) → should get a response - [x] Send a chat message with tools → should work as before - [x] V3.2 cards should appear in the dashboard model catalog --------- Co-authored-by: user <user@m1.note> Co-authored-by: Ryuichi Leo Takashige <leo@exolabs.net> Co-authored-by: Evan <evanev7@gmail.com>
