Ling 3.0 Flash Fin, the inclusionAI (Ant Group) model in numbers

Ling 3.0 Flash Fin at a glance

Ling 3.0 Flash Fin is a language model from inclusionAI (Ant Group), released on August 27, 2026. That makes it 2 months old as of October 22, 2026. It is an open-weight model: you can host it yourself on infrastructure you control, and 3 API providers listed on models.dev also offer it. It has a reasoning mode: it can "think" before answering, which helps with multi-step problems but uses more tokens, and therefore more money.

We file it under open-weight models (68 models in this category on the site).

How much does Ling 3.0 Flash Fin cost?

Ling 3.0 Flash Fin costs $0.075 per million input tokens and $0.22 per million output tokens (median of 3 providers, checked on October 22, 2026).

In practice, an agent task that reads 20,000 tokens and writes 2,000 costs about $0.002, or $1.94 for 1,000 such tasks.

That is 4.5 times cheaper than the median output price of open-weight models ($1).
