Ling 3.0 Tiny by InclusionAI is a 7.9B MoE model with 1.3B active parameters for responsive agents, multi-turn conversations, and switchable thinking modes.
Capabilities, design details, and architectural traits
Ling 3.0 Tiny is a mixture-of-experts model from InclusionAI that activates only a small fraction of its parameters per token. This unusually low active-compute ratio is the model's defining design choice, enabling it to serve agent and multi-turn conversation workloads with minimal per-token cost.
The model supports switchable Thinking and Instant modes, letting callers choose between deeper reasoning and fast responses within the same deployment. It also includes native function calling and prompt caching for tool-using, long-context workflows.
| Trait | Detail |
|---|---|
| Architecture | MoE with low active-compute ratio |
| Switchable modes | Thinking mode and Instant mode, selectable per request |
| Agent design focus | Built for responsive agents, instruction following, and multi-turn conversations |
| Tool support | Native function calling and prompt caching |
| Context window | 256K tokens with up to 32K max output |
| I/O modality | Text input, text output only |
The switchable Thinking and Instant modes distinguish Ling 3.0 Tiny from single-mode models in its class. Thinking mode engages deeper reasoning for complex prompts, while Instant mode prioritizes low-latency responses for conversational turns where speed matters more than extended deliberation.
