Generates coherent, contextually-aware responses in multi-turn dialogue by maintaining conversation history through transformer attention mechanisms. The model processes the full conversation context (user messages, prior assistant responses) as a single sequence, allowing it to track discourse state, resolve pronouns, and maintain consistency across turns without explicit memory management or external state stores.
Unique: DeepSeek-V3.2 uses a mixture-of-experts (MoE) architecture with sparse routing, allowing selective activation of expert parameters during inference — this reduces per-token compute vs. dense models while maintaining conversation quality across diverse topics without retraining
vs alternatives: Achieves GPT-4-class conversation quality with 40-50% lower inference cost than dense alternatives like Llama-2-70B due to sparse expert activation, while maintaining full context awareness in multi-turn exchanges

Automatically loads and parses documents from diverse sources (PDFs, Word docs, HTML, Markdown, code files, databases) into a unified in-memory representation using format-specific loaders and node-based document abstractions. Each document is decomposed into Document objects containing metadata, content, and relationships, enabling downstream processing without format-specific handling in application code.
Unique: Provides a unified loader abstraction (BaseReader interface) that normalizes 100+ data source connectors into a single Document/Node API, eliminating format-specific branching logic in application code. Loaders are composable and chainable, allowing sequential transformations (e.g., load → split → extract metadata → embed).
