Our hourly sweep found an id that was not there an hour ago.
Catalog id: inclusionai/ling-3.2-flash:free
Listed price: $0.00/$0.00 per 1M
Context window: 1,048,576 tokens
First observed by our sweep: 2026-11-13 21:09 UTC
Source: OpenRouter catalog
This entry is machine-written from what the sweep actually read, and nothing else. A catalog listing is a primary source for exactly one narrow fact — that this id now exists, at this price, with this context window — and it is not evidence of anything beyond that. It does not tell you the model is good, that the listing is intentional, that the weights are open, or that the vendor has announced it. Those questions need a human and an editor's judgement, and this item deliberately does not answer them.
It maps to Ling 3.2 Flash, already on our watchlist — registry note: live — on OpenRouter Nov 13 as inclusionai/ling-3.2-flash:free (free tier only so far): hybrid reasoning, text and image input (up to 200 images per request), 1M ctx · no weights on Hugging Face yet (Ling 3.1's came 13 days after launch) · OpenRouter listed it at 17:45 UTC with 262,144 max output and reasoning on by default, but at 19:55 and again at 20:49 UTC its endpoints list was empty: listed, with no provider serving it yet · Ant Ling has not announced it on X (newest post Nov 2).
The radar reads the public model catalogs every hour and the provider APIs every 60 seconds. Signal texts you the minute a launch is confirmed; free alerts follow by email about 15 minutes later.
