Ant Group has just released Ling 3.0 Flash, a 124B open weights model that scores 38 on the Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index. Ling 3.0 demonstrates a marked improvement over the previous generation and sits on the Pareto frontier for Intelligence versus Total Parameters among open weights models @AntGroup has released Ling 3.0 Flash, an open weights reasoning model with 124B total parameters and 5B active at inference time and a 262K token context window. It scores 38 on the Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index v4.1.1, 24 points above the previous generation Ling 2.6 Flash (Non-reasoning, 14). This matches MiMo-V2.5 (38) and Qwen3.6 27B (38) while using a third of MiMo-V2.5's active parameters. It remains behind the flash-tier open weights leader, DeepSeek V4 Flash 0731 (Reasoning, Max Effort) at 52. Key results: ➤ Ling 3.0 Flash sits on the open weights Pareto frontier for Intelligence vs. Total Parameters. No open weights model with fewer than 124B total parameters scores higher on the Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index, and at a comparable total size gpt-oss-120b (117B) scores 24, 14 points behind. The next model up the frontier is MiniMax-M2.7, which scores 39…
