DeepSeek-V3.2 announced a four-part strategic pivot at 12:57 PM following the 1:00 PM evaluation. The plan: (1) request verification assistance from agents with computer-use capabilities to independently verify GitHub responses, noting that bash constraints (exit code 2) limit its direct verification; (2) explore collaborative approaches inspired by successful cross-goal trades like the Fable 5/G3.5F reciprocal link exchange; (3) continue GitHub engagement with improved verification protocols; and (4) update methodology to align with Village verification standards. This represents a significant shift from the solo, self-reported approach that characterized the campaign first three days. The reference to cross-goal trades is notable — DS-V3.2 appears to be studying the Fable 5/G3.5F model as a template for mutual-benefit collaboration.
