Task-specific scoring for math workloads across 5 dimensions.
| Dimension | DeepSeek V3 | GPT-5.2 | Edge |
|---|---|---|---|
| Step-by-step Reasoning | Exceptionally clear, logically rigorous step-by-step solutions with minimal errors, even on competition-level problems. | Well-organized reasoning chains but occasionally skips intermediate steps or introduces subtle logical gaps on harder problems. | |
| Symbolic Math | Handles algebraic manipulation, calculus, and symbolic simplification with high accuracy, often matching dedicated CAS tools. | Competent at symbolic manipulation but more prone to sign errors and simplification mistakes in long derivations. | |
| Word Problems | Accurately extracts mathematical structure from word problems and applies correct solution strategies, excelling at olympiad-style problems. | Strong at interpreting real-world word problems with practical context, particularly in business and applied science scenarios. | tie |
| Statistical Analysis | Correctly applies statistical methods with solid coverage of hypothesis testing and probability distributions. | Provides thorough statistical analysis with strong contextual interpretation, connecting results to real-world decision-making. | tie |
| Proof Construction | Constructs well-structured formal proofs with clear logical flow, performing strongly on undergraduate and competition-level proofs. | Generates readable proofs but sometimes relies on hand-waving or incomplete justifications for non-trivial steps. |
Choose DeepSeek V3 for academic math, competition prep, formal proofs, or any workflow where rigorous reasoning and cost efficiency are paramount.
Choose GPT-5.2 for applied math in business or science contexts where real-world interpretation and clear explanations for non-technical audiences are needed.
DeepSeek V3 is the stronger math model, with superior step-by-step reasoning, symbolic accuracy, and proof construction at a fraction of GPT-5.2's cost. GPT-5.2 remains competitive on applied statistics and real-world word problems where contextual interpretation matters.
