Ling-3.1-flash-1019 vs MiniCPM5-2B

Ling-3.1-flash-1019 56

Model card 11, Intended use (complex reasoning, multi-step tasks and agentic workflows), architecture, parameters (560B total, 25B active) and context (1M claimed) are on the card. Training data 15, the training-content summary the card links names the source categories (Common Crawl and other public datasets, commercially licensed data, the Ant Spider crawler, synthetic data), the size band (over 10 trillion text tokens), data collected up to about July 2026 and the filtering, without listing datasets with sizes. Last change 20, the newest commit, on 4 November 2026, edited the card, six days before this check, and the files went up on 27 October. Responsiveness 0, Neither of the 2 discussions that aren't pull requests (both opened on 27 October 2026) has a reply from an inclusionAI member. Version policy 5, the update went into a repository of its own and Ling-3.1-flash and Ling 3.0 stay in theirs. File health 5, the card states a 1M-token context while config.json gives 262,144 with no rope scaling, and its serve commands name the earlier repository as the model path. 11 + 15 + 20 + 0 + 5 + 5 = 56.

MiniCPM5-2B 92

Model card 17, everything but a knowledge cut-off. Training data 20, all eight training datasets are published on Hugging Face and named per stage with sizes. Last change 15, a template fix on 29 September 2026, 36 days ago, with nothing newer in OpenBMB's MiniCPM5 repositories on Hugging Face (builds last changed 12 September) or its GitHub repository (21 September). Responsiveness 20, OpenBMB members answered 16 of the 23 questions in the discussions, the newest reply on 29 September. Version policy 10, earlier models and checkpoints sit in their own repositories and the GitHub changelog dates each release. File health 10, config, tokenizer, template and card agree and no broken-file report waited on 21 October, though OpenBMB's GGUF, MLX and GPTQ repositories still carry the template from before the 29 September fix.

Memory 0, inclusionAI's only build is the FP8 release at 573.78 GB, × 1.2 = 688.5 GB, above 256 GB, and no runtime's library has a build. Runtimes 25, Released model code in Transformers 5.22.2 (bailing_hybrid), vLLM 0.33.0 (BailingMoeV3ForCausalLM, with ling3 tool and reasoning parsers), SGLang 0.5.23 (bailing_moe_v3.py, its bailing_hybrid config and MTP module) and llama.cpp b12242 (bailingmoe3), and Ollama, credited through its pinned llama.cpp as on the Ling-3.0-tiny listing: v0.40.16 sets LLAMA_CPP_VERSION to b12177. Builds 10, the release is FP8, the one quantised precision inclusionAI publishes for it. Terms 15, MIT in the card's metadata, with no use policy or other terms added on the card or in the repository. Download 10, the Hub API's model info gives gated false on 10 November 2026, so the files download with no account and no terms to accept. Hosted 0, the Hub API's provider mapping is empty for this repository on 10 November 2026. 0 + 25 + 10 + 15 + 10 + 0 = 60.

Memory 30, OpenBMB's own MLX 4-bit build is 1.42 GB and its Q4_K_M GGUF 1.56 GB, about 2 GB with the fifth added. Runtimes 25, the cap, since the model is a stock Llama and vLLM, SGLang, released Transformers, a released llama.cpp and Ollama all run it. Builds 15, OpenBMB ships GGUF at three precisions plus MLX and GPTQ 4-bit. Terms 10, the LICENSE is plain Apache 2.0 but the card prohibits jailbreaking and injection testing and limits use to ethical purposes, which reads as a use policy on top (dated 21 October 2026). Download 10, nothing is gated. Hosted 0, OpenBMB has no API for it, no inference provider is listed on its Hugging Face page and OpenRouter doesn't carry it.

Ling-3.1-flash-1019 60

Chat template 20, chat_template.jinja in the repository (6,042 characters), which handles tools, the thinking switch and preserved reasoning. Tool-calling format 10, only the template says how tools are declared (JSON in <tools>) and how calls come back (<tool_call>name with <arg_key> and <arg_value> pairs). Trained tool calling 20, the template tells the model it may call one or more functions and loops over every entry in an assistant message's tool_calls, and the card reports gains on agentic benchmarks, AA-Briefcase and AutomationBench-AA among them. Structured output 0, the card doesn't document JSON or JSON Schema output. Reasoning control 0, the card documents turning thinking on or off per request with chat_template_kwargs enable_thinking, and names the ling3 reasoning parser, but doesn't say where the reasoning text comes back. Context 10, 262,144 tokens natively in config.json (max_position_embeddings 262144, rope_scaling null) and per SGLang's cookbook. 20 + 10 + 20 + 0 + 0 + 10 = 60.

MiniCPM5-2B 75

Chat template 20, a Jinja file in the repository. Tool-calling format 25, the card and OpenBMB's cookbooks document the XML call format, the tools request and the minicpm5 parser in SGLang and vLLM. Trained tool calling 20, agent SFT on 500K samples and a template that renders several calls in one turn. Structured output 0, nothing documents asking for JSON. Reasoning control 0, a judgement call, because OpenBMB's own cookbooks call Think the only supported mode for the 2B even though the template accepts enable_thinking false. Context 10, 131,072 tokens native with no rope scaling.

File safety 15, safetensors only, no .bin, .pt or .pth files (25), less 10 because the card's documented vLLM command passes --trust-remote-code, which runs the repository's configuration_bailing_moe_v3.py, since vLLM 0.33.0 registers no bailing_hybrid config of its own. Provenance 15, files in the inclusionAI organisation that inclusion-ai.org links to, per the Ling-3.0-tiny listing (10). Safety evaluation 0, no safety results for the model on its card or in the training-content summary. Agent guidance 0, the card has nothing on prompt injection, refusals or safeguards, and inclusionAI publishes no guardrail probe for this model as it did for Ling 3.0. Licence risk 15, MIT with no use policy, no field-of-use limits, no threshold and no clause letting inclusionAI change or revoke it. Security programme 0, www.inclusion-ai.org answers 404 for security.txt on 10 November 2026, and the Ling-3.0-tiny listing found no SECURITY.md or disclosure policy in the inclusionAI .github repository. 15 + 15 + 0 + 0 + 15 + 0 = 45.

MiniCPM5-2B 55

File safety 25, safetensors and GGUF only, and the documented way to load it runs no code from the repository. Provenance 15, the openbmb organisation linked from OpenBMB's GitHub, with a SHA-256 for every weight file. Safety evaluation 0, nothing published. Agent guidance 5, the card only cautions that prompts can manipulate the model and that users should add their own safeguards. Licence risk 10, 5 off for the card's use limit beyond the law. Security programme 0, no SECURITY.md, no security.txt and no advisories.
