What version is actually running on chat.deepseek.com?

It refuses to tell me when asked, only that it's been train with data up until July 2024, which would make it quite old. I turned off search and asked it for the winner of the US 2024 election, and it said it didn't know, so I guess that confirms it's not a recent model.

You can read that 3.2 is live on web and app here: https://api-docs.deepseek.com/news/news251201

The pdf describes how they did "continued pre-training" and then post training to make 3.2. I guess what's missing is the full pre-training that absorbs most date sensitive knowledge. That's probably also the reason that the versions are 3.x still.
