Pricing Details
Ant GroupFREE FOR NOW, AND THAT IS THE WHOLE RATE CARD. Launched 2026-08-06 and currently $0 input and $0 output on Novita, OpenRouter and the Vercel AI Gateway. The free window is promotional and reported to end around 2026-08-13/14; we could not confirm the exact cutoff, so treat any date as approximate and do not build a budget on $0. No paid rate card has been published anywhere, which means there is currently no way to know what this costs after the promo ends. 7.9B total params with 1.3B active, 256K context, 32,768 max output. The small sibling to Ling-3.0-flash in Ant's Ling line (fast general-purpose) as distinct from its Ring line (deep reasoning). API-only so far: no Hugging Face weights had been published as of 2026-08-07, so unlike every other Ling and Ring release this one is not yet MIT-licensed or self-hostable. No independent benchmark scores exist, Artificial Analysis has not measured it, and Ant has published no evaluation results for it.
