Most of these releases ship a bespoke community licence with a revenue cap or a usage carve-out, and everyone still calls the result open source. Ling-3.0-flash went up on Aug 4 under plain MIT. OSI listed, no cap, no field-of-use clause. The weights are 124B total with 5.1B active, and there’s a free tier on OpenRouter this week, so the access story is real rather than theoretical. I’d take a mediocre model under MIT over a good one under a licence written by a lawyer who wanted an escape hatch. Curious whether anyone here disagrees. Repos for anyone checking: inclusionAI/Ling-3.0-flash and inclusionAI/Ling-3.0-flash-fp8 on Hugging Face, both mirrored on ModelScope. inclusionAI is Ant Group’s lab, the Alipay company. submitted by /u/Asleep-Pilot-4142
