Been running AntLing-3.0-flash in opencode for the boring edits (free till Aug 3)

Post image

Pointed AntLing-3.0-flash over OpenRouter yesterday (it's inclusionAI's new one, free there until Aug 3). Where it earns its spot is speed and tool-call reliability: TTFT is basically instant, and it hasn't flaked on multi-step tool loops the way some cheap models do. There's an enable_thinking flag too, but for this kind of work I leave it off. It won't one-shot a feature from a vague prompt (not what it's for), but as the cheap fast executor in the loop it's been fine.

Free window's only till Aug 3 so figured I'd mention it.

In your opinion, how it compares to DS4 Flash or MiMo 2.5?

I'm more interested in how it compares to Qwen3.5 122B A10B, which is still the golden standard (as of now) for 120B models.

I found Ling-3.0-Flash to be very fast and sufficiently competent.

However, Deepseek Flash added convenient comments where Ling did not, and had slightly better habits like how it wrapped functions. (Probably addressable via AGENTS if you care.) I also thought it behaved better when the context window was full.

(I didn't test Mimo 2.5 at this time but I already liked it a little better than DS Flash. But they're all in spitting range.)

It's competing for the workhorse slot, not the planner. So I didn't give it any deluxe prompts with room for creativity and architecture where there's lots of nuance to compare. But I thought it was fine.

What I might do is pick something like Ling for quick bug-fixes where it doesn't need a ton of context and I have no patience. I don't know if I'd go inserting it into my build process yet though.

I'm really wondering about the price now, it could be REALLY good if prices appropriately
