inclusionAI: Ling 3.0 Flash
Ling 3.0 Flash from inclusionAI is a text-only model with a 262,144-token context window and a maximum completion length of 32,768 tokens. It supports tool calling and offers a reasoning mode, so it can be wired into agent workflows that call external functions. Structured output support and open-weights status are not documented in the available data, so teams that need either should verify before committing. The main draw is cost. At $0.021 per million input tokens and $0.063 per million output tokens, it suits high-volume jobs such as long-document processing or batch tool-use pipelines where per-token spend matters more than peak quality. Its benchmark evidence is thin. The blended score of 30.4 rests on a single independent benchmark, with an AI Index score of 33.2. Shortlist it as a low-cost option, but test it on your own tasks before relying on it.
