EXAONE Deep 32B
Korean open-weight reasoning model rivaling DeepSeek-R1.
About
EXAONE Deep 32B is LG AI Research's reasoning model, fine-tuned from EXAONE 3.5 with SFT, DPO, and online reinforcement learning for extended chain-of-thought reasoning. LG reports it matches QwQ-32B and DeepSeek-R1 on math and coding benchmarks at a fraction of the size, and it is openly available for research purposes on Hugging Face.
The research-only license means commercial use needs a separate agreement with LG, and most coverage is LG's own reporting.
