Inclusion AI releases Ling-3.0-flash-VL, a 124B multimodal MoE with 1M context

Inclusion AI released Ling-3.0-flash-VL, a multimodal extension of its Ling-3.0-flash language model that adds native image and video understanding while keeping the base model's reasoning and long-context abilities. The model carries 124B total parameters but activates only 5.5B per token through a sparse mixture-of-experts architecture, and supports a context window up to 1M tokens.

The design routes visual input through a ViT encoder whose features are aligned to text representations by a two-layer MLP projector. VideoRoPE encodes spatial position and temporal order so the model can track visual change over time, which the company says supports event localization, long-video question answering, and video clip editing. A 42-layer hybrid backbone alternates KDA and Gated MLA layers at a 5:1 ratio for efficient long-context processing across text, images, video, and extended agent task histories.

Inclusion AI frames the release around real-world reasoning and agentic workflows rather than chat alone. The model is listed on Hugging Face, though no benchmark results or deployment details were included in the announcement.

Why it matters

Ling-3.0-flash-VL shows the trend of packing vision, video, and million-token context into sparse MoE models small enough to run with only 5.5B active parameters per token.
