  "summary": "InclusionAI’s **Ling 3.1 Flash 1019** is available through Vercel AI Gateway at no cost until **November 3, 2026**. It targets coding, multi-step reasoning, and tool-using agents, with a **1M-token context window**. Free requests still appear in the spend dashboard with full traces.",
  "practical_implication": "Try it in Claude Code, Codex, or Cursor by installing the latest Vercel CLI, running setup, then selecting `inclusionai/ling-3.1-flash-1019`. The gateway also provides usage tracking, retries, and routing.",
