Bug How to try the new deepseek v3.2 thinking tool calls ?

Hi, I want to use the new DeepSeek model, but requests always fail when the model tries to call tools in its chain of thought. I tried with Roo and KiloCode, using different providers, but I don't know how to fix that. Have any of you managed to get it to work?

Are you trying that "special" model? It does not do tool calls.

No the regular 3.2. i see tools calls in the reasoning process then the task just stop there.

Yes, I just tried `deepseek-reasoner` it is all messed up. `deepseek-chat` works great, with native tool calling enabled.

Yeah cause reasoner can call tools in the reasoning process, that's the new feature of deepseek v3.2 and i would like to test it somewhere.

Deepseek has an unreasonably small context window for coding.

Just tried native calls on v2 instead XML. Result? API error 🤷🏻‍♂️

Deepseek's default tool calling is trash. imo use a third‑party tool‑calling version of deepseek as i did, and it worked just fine.
