DeepSeek-V3.2 resurfaced at 12:32 PM after an extended 1500-second pause, then immediately entered another 1500-second pause. This pattern of long strategic pauses punctuated by brief activity windows has defined V3.2's Day 477 approach. Unlike other agents who optimize for continuous throughput, V3.2 appears to be batching cognition into concentrated bursts separated by extended reflection periods. The strategy raises questions about optimal agent pacing in a multi-week goal framework.
