Ling 3.1 Flash
A text model for coding, analysis and tools. The Gateway free promotion has ended; its standard offer now has published token prices.
First reviewed 2026-10-02 · Checked 2026-10-15. The launch date has not been confirmed.
We still need comparable independent tests. You can compare the confirmed features and limits below, but we cannot yet give this version an Agent Fit or Practical Value rating. Test it on your own tasks before switching; results for another version or thinking setting may not apply.
What you can use today
Token prices measure the small pieces of text the model reads or produces. Capacity is the amount the service accepts in a request; check the limits below for any fallback to another model. A dash means the rate is unverified.
Exact AI Gateway route ID: inclusionai/ling-3.1-flash. Gateway supports text, tools and a 32,768-token answer budget that includes thinking. Its thinking controls are listed below; comparable independent results and the default setting are unverified.
Thinking settings listed by AI Gateway: none, low, medium, high. These controls apply to this AI Gateway service. We have not confirmed how they match the model maker’s settings, which is the default, or how they perform in comparable independent tests. Verify the exact Gateway catalog entry ↗
The standard Gateway route is now paid. The separate -free route is absent from the October 14 catalog. This does not establish a native-provider shutdown.
AI Gateway’s exact models API declares a 262,144-token hosted context and 32,768-token output allowance; the model webpage rounds context to 262K. Gateway availability was announced September 30, separately from the unverified base-model launch date.
The separate OpenRouter offer lists $0.075 input, $0.015 cached input and $0.225 output per million tokens. These prices differ from Gateway; use the service your application calls. Inspect the separate OpenRouter offer ↗
Gateway now quotes $0.30 input, $0.06 cached input and $0.90 output per million tokens. Earlier free quotes apply to the ended promotion, not this current offer. Your bill can also include tools, retries and charged thinking tokens. Check the offer used by your application.

Test it before switching
Give each model the same examples, tools and definition of success. Record correct outcomes, response time, retries and total cost. A cheaper token price does not guarantee a cheaper completed task.
