Ling 3.1 Flash 1019 now available on Vercel AI Gateway for free until November 3, 2026
Vercel announced that Ling 3.1 Flash 1019 from InclusionAI is available on AI Gateway at no cost until November 3, 2026, when requests will begin charging at the published rate. The model is designed for coding, multi-step reasoning, and tool-using agents, with a 1M-token context window.
Why it matters
Builders can test a 1M-token context model for coding and agent workflows without per-request cost during the free window. Free requests still appear in the spend dashboard with full traces, which helps estimate production costs before paid billing starts on November 3.
Who should care
Developers building coding agents, AI-powered tools, and workflows over long documents or extended task histories; teams evaluating models through Vercel AI Gateway.
What you can do
Set the model name to inclusionai/ling-3.1-flash-1019 in AI Gateway, run a representative workload, and review the request traces and spend dashboard to estimate costs before November 3, 2026.
