[Ling 3.0 Tiny](https://vercel.com/ai-gateway/models/ling-3.0-tiny-free) from ANT Group is now on AI Gateway, free to use till 8:00am PT on 8/14. Ling 3.0 Tiny takes the free slot from [Ling 3.0 Flash](https://vercel.com/ai-gateway/models/ling-3.0-flash).

Ling 3.0 Tiny is a MOE model with 7.9B total parameters and about 1.3B active per token, a 256K token context window, and up to 32K output tokens. The model is built for responsive agents, instruction following, and multi-turn conversation, with native function calling and prompt caching.

To use Ling 3.0 Tiny, set `model` to `inclusionai/ling-3.0-tiny-free` in the [AI SDK](https://ai-sdk.dev/). On August 14th, the new model name will be `inclusionai/ling-3.0-tiny`.

```typescript
import { streamText } from 'ai';

const result = streamText({
  model: 'inclusionai/ling-3.0-tiny-free',
  prompt: 'Summarize this thread and draft a reply.',
});
```

Try Ling 3.0 Tiny in the [model playground](https://vercel.com/ai-gateway/models/ling-3.0-tiny-free).

To use it in a [coding agent](https://vercel.com/docs/ai-gateway/coding-agents), run `vercel ai-gateway coding-agents setup` and select `inclusionai/ling-3.0-tiny-free` inside the agent.
