Efficient model for low-latency assistance, extraction, and routine automation
Ling 3.1 Flash by inclusionai is offered by 4 providers on this page. Public prices are shown for 1 of them. Its reference price is $0.075 per 1M input tokens and $0.22 per 1M output tokens. It also has 3 free ($0) channels; free tiers usually carry rate limits, and subscription-covered access bills $0 per token only after the subscription fee.
Artificial Analysis rates it 41.1 on the Intelligence Index. Against its lowest blended price of $0.111 per 1M, that is roughly 370 index points per dollar, which is the value ratio the leaderboards rank on. Median output speed is 210 tokens per second, with 1.83s to the first token. Running one task of the Artificial Analysis suite costs about $0.9857, which reflects how many tokens its reasoning consumes rather than the unit price alone.
The context window is 262,144 tokens, with an output limit of 32,768 tokens. It supports reasoning and tool use.
Quality is independently evaluated by Artificial Analysis. Speed/latency are model-level medians.

Sorted by blended price (input×0.75 + output×0.25) asc. The official channel always shows regardless of rank. Whether a gateway's low price is actually usable can't be verified.
3 more channels offer $0 (OpenRouter, Vercel AI Gateway, Kilo Gateway); free tiers usually have rate limits and no SLA, excluded from ranking.
Individual evaluations run by Artificial Analysis, on the same reasoning tier as the intelligence score above. Each benchmark has its own task set and harness, so rows are not comparable with one another. The Intelligence Index above draws on a different, newer set of evaluations.
