How much does Ling-3.0-Flash cost?

Ling-3.0-Flash is published as open weights (MIT) — there is no per-token API price. You self-host the model and pay infrastructure cost (GPU rental and operating overhead). Effective cost on commodity 24-48GB GPUs typically lands at $0.10-$0.50 per million output tokens.

What is the context window of Ling-3.0-Flash?

Ling-3.0-Flash supports a context window of 256K tokens (256,000 tokens) and can generate up to 16K output tokens per request.

What is Ling-3.0-Flash best for?

Ling-3.0-Flash is best for: Efficient MoE alternative to trillion-param flagships. It supports chat, function_calling, code capabilities. It is open-source under the MIT license.

Ling-3.0-Flash

Ant Groupopen-source NewOpen Source

First catalog entry for Ant Group's inclusionAI/Bailing team, an actively-shipping open-weight lab (Ling non-thinking, Ring thinking, Ming multimodal families) not previously tracked here despite multiple trillion-parameter MIT-licensed releases through 2026 (Ling-2.5-1T, Ring-2.5-1T, Ling-2.6-1T). Ling-3.0-Flash, announced 27 Jul 2026 with weights open-sourced 5 Aug 2026, is a 124B-total MoE with roughly 5-7B active params per token (sources give both figures; verify against the official Hugging Face card before treating either as final), 256K context, MIT license. Ant claims it matches or beats their own 1T-parameter Ling-2.6-1T flagship on most benchmarks at roughly 1/8th the total parameters — a notable efficiency claim, but independent verification and a standard benchmark table weren't available at the time of writing. Weights ship in BF16 (255GB) and FP8 (128GB) on Hugging Face and ModelScope.

About Ling-3.0-Flash

Ling-3.0-Flash is a open-source AI model by Ant Group, released on August 5, 2026. It supports a context window of 256K tokens and can generate up to 16K output tokens.

Ling-3.0-Flash is published as open weights (MIT) for self-hosting. There is no per-token API price. Cost depends on your inference infrastructure: GPU rental, throughput per GPU, and operating overhead. For commodity 24-48GB GPUs the effective cost typically lands in the $0.10-$0.50 per million output tokens range, well below the cheapest hosted alternatives.

Ling-3.0-Flash is available as an open-source model under the MIT license, meaning you can self-host it for predictable costs or use it through API providers like Swfte Connect.
