Ling 3.0 Tiny example: tool calling

The example is picked from this model's own capabilities. Drop in your key and it runs as is.

from openai import OpenAI

client = OpenAI(base_url="https://api.uttapen.ir/v1", api_key="sk-up-…")

tools = [{

What is Ling 3.0 Tiny good for?

inclusionAI publishes this model; we expose it under the id "inclusionai/ling-3.0-tiny". Its context window is 262,144 tokens, roughly 197k English words in one request. A single response can run to 250,000 tokens. On price it sits in the "very cheap" band — cheaper than 392 and dearer than 6 of the other paid models in the catalogue.

Capabilities available on this id: it supports tool calling, so it can invoke your own functions with valid arguments; it returns schema-valid JSON through response_format, ready to hand to your code; it has a reasoning mode that pays off on multi-step problems, maths and debugging. All of it works through the standard parameters of the official OpenAI SDK — no custom client, no wrapper. Keep in mind that reasoning tokens are output tokens and do appear on the bill.

For a back-of-envelope figure: about 27 toman per 1,000-word exchange (5,193 in, 15,580 out, per 1M tokens). It supports cached input: repeated context is billed at 1,039 toman per 1M, which matters a lot if your system prompt is long. You are always charged for the usage the request actually reported, never for the estimate, and a failed request costs nothing.

The closest alternative with the same capabilities from a different provider is Mistral Nemo, and Ling 3.0 Tiny costs about the same, and its context window is larger. Both run on the same key and the same code, so trying the other one is a single string change.

To make the figure concrete: 100,000 toman of credit buys roughly 3,704 thousand-word requests on Ling 3.0 Tiny, and every 1,000 toman is about 37,037 words of round trip. A job with one million input tokens and one million output tokens comes to 20,773 toman in total. Filling this model's 262,144-token window costs 1,361 toman on the input side alone, which is the real reason to keep conversation history short.

Its nearest relative in the catalogue is "inclusionai/ling-3.0-flash", and choosing between those two is where most people hesitate. On a thousand-word request this variant works out about 29% cheaper (27 against 38 toman). Maximum answer length differs as well: 250,000 against 32,768 tokens. On parameters, this one takes structured_outputs while the other takes logit_bias, min_p, repetition_penalty, top_k.

inclusionAI has 4 models in our catalogue; the cheapest is Ling 3.0 Tiny at 27 toman per thousand words and the dearest Ling 3.1 Flash at 135. Among the less common parameters it accepts logprobs, presence_penalty, top_logprobs — all through the standard request body. By context size the nearest option from another provider is Aion 3.5 at 262,144 tokens.

What to use it for: high-volume work such as classification, tagging and bulk summarising, logic puzzles and code review, agents that reach out to APIs and databases, extracting data against a fixed schema, analysing a long document or codebase in one request.
