Ant Ling open-sources Ling-3.1-flash-1019: further post-trained 560B/25B-active MoE lifts AA Intelligence Index from 41 to 44, base checkpoint also released

On Oct 27 Ant Ling (inclusionAI) open-sourced Ling-3.1-flash-1019, a further post-trained upgrade of the early-October Ling-3.1-flash: 560B total parameters, 25B active per token, a 1M-token context and an MIT license. Ant says it scores 44 on the Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index v4.3.2 (up from 41), with clear gains on agent tasks such as AA-Briefcase and AutomationBench-AA. It also released Ling-3.1-flash-base, an open foundation checkpoint for further training.
