    Bailing releases and open-sources native multimodal model Ling-3.0-flash-VL

    On September 9, 2026, Ant Bailing released and open-sourced Ling-3.0-flash-VL, the first native multimodal large model in the Ling series. Built as an extension of the Ling-3.0-flash MoE architecture, the model has 124B total parameters and 5.5B activated per inference, natively supports image, text, and video inputs, and has a 256K-token context window. According to the company, native multimodal joint training improved the model's score on the Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index v4.1.1 by 4 points over the text-only version, and it introduces a visual feedback loop of observe, act, verify, and correct, used for front-end replication, GUI agents, and medical report interpretation. The model is currently available for free trial on Ling Studio, and the BF16 and FP8 versions have been open-sourced on Hugging Face and ModelScope.

    Ant Ling officially open-sources the Ling-3.0-flash model

    On August 7, 2026, Ant Ling officially open-sourced Ling-3.0-flash, a new-generation native hybrid reasoning model. According to the Ant Ling developer blog, the model uses a MoE architecture with 124B total parameters and 5.1B activated parameters, and is released alongside a base version as well as multiple precision versions including FP8, FP4, and INT4. There are three deployment options: cloud API calls; end-to-end local inference on a single NVIDIA DGX Spark using the MXFP4 or INT4 version; and a high-performance deployment that exceeds an average output rate of 1,100 tokens/s under the specified GPU test configuration. In terms of benchmark data, its output speed in Artificial Analysis is 353 tokens/s, and in the AA Intelligence Index its weighted average invocation cost per task is about $0.04. There are currently no subsequent development facts.

    Fireworks evaluates DeepSeek's new model

    On September 14, 2026, Fireworks AI released and evaluated DeepSeek-V4.1-Flash. According to its published results, the model achieves 74.34% pass@1 on DeepSWE, on par with GPT-6-Astra's 74.12%; its cost per task is $0.43, about 1/15 that of Astra. The model is a 552B-parameter MoE, using separate activation budgets of 8B for input and 16B for output, and its KV Cache HBM footprint is reduced to 1/4 that of the previous-generation V4. On HLE it scores 34.52%, below Astra's 50.40%, and Fireworks considers it better suited to agentic coding than to highly difficult reasoning. On September 28, Fireworks AI released its first cache-aware router, FireRouter with Opus, which is now live in the CLI and offered for the first time as a standalone routing model; it can select among Claude Opus 5.5, GLM 5.3 and GLM 5.3 Flash based on task fit, prompt cache cost and switching cost; its internal A/B testing over more than a month showed coding task cost per session dropping from $15.36 to $6.63, a 57% reduction (±19 percentage points), with accuracy at pure O

    Fireworks launches Muse Glimmer

    On August 10, 2026, Fireworks AI launched serverless and on-demand deployment services for Meta's Muse Glimmer 30B dense model. The model is released under the Apache 2.0 license, supports a 128K+ token context window and native image understanding, and targets persistent agent scenarios that require multi-turn tool calling. Architecturally, it uses sliding window attention, with a window of 2,048 tokens in most layers and one global attention layer every four layers, combined with 2 KV heads to control KV cache usage. Fireworks provides recommended parameters of temperature 1.0, top_p 0.95, and top_k 64, and supports setting reasoning effort from low to xhigh in the system prompt. According to Meta's report, the model scores 75.5 on MCP Atlas, 74.6 on DeepSearch QA, and 51.2 on SWE-Bench Pro, all higher than the corresponding results of Gemma 4 31B and Qwen 3.6 27B. There are currently no further developments.
