Artificial Analysis benchmarked Ling-3.0-flash-Fin, Ant Group's new finance-focused open-weights model built on Ling-3.0-flash and co-developed with financial institutions.
Key findings:
- Scores 23 on the Intelligence Index and 24 on the Finance & Accounting Index (same as the VL variant), sitting on the intelligence-vs-active-parameters Pareto frontier with only 5.1B active of 124B total parameters.
- On AA-Briefcase (complex business workflows producing spreadsheets, decks, memos), Fin scores 967 Elo vs VL's 986, passing fewer rubric checks (23.5% vs 24.9%) and lower analytical quality (866 vs 907) — yet higher presentation Elo (1095 vs 1076), surprising given it lacks image input.
- On GDPval-AA v2 (professional knowledge work), Fin scores 1171, 50 points behind VL (1225) but above MiniMax-M2.7 (1087).
- Fin has higher business-knowledge accuracy (17% vs 11%) but worse hallucination (67% vs 81% non-hallucination rate), and outputs 67k tokens per task — 34% more than VL's 50k.
- Both Ling models sit below the total-parameter frontier: Qwen3.8 27B (xhigh) scores 34 with only 27B total parameters.
