Ant Group Releases Ling 3.0 Flash: 124B Model Hits Open Weights Pareto Frontier
ArtificialAnlys · x · 2026-08-08
Ant Group released Ling 3.0 Flash, an open weights reasoning model with 124B total parameters and 5B active parameters at inference, featuring a 262K context window. It scores 38 on the Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index, a massive 24-point improvement over its predecessor.
Key Highlights:
- Pareto Frontier: Sits on the open weights Pareto frontier for Intelligence vs. Total Parameters, beating gpt-oss-120b (score 24).
- Agentic Abilities: Scores 27% on τ3-Bench Banking, second only to DeepSeek V4 Flash 0731 among flash-tier models.
- Reduced Hallucination: Improved Omniscience score (-18) driven by abstention rather than knowledge. Hallucination rate on wrong answers dropped from 97% to 44%, while attempt rate fell to 56%.
- Pricing: Priced at $0.075 per 1M input and $0.22 per 1M output tokens, though its verbosity slightly dampers its cost-per-task advantage.
