Ring

Ring is Ant Ling's reasoning model line. The docs describe Ring as an open-source trillion-parameter thinking model that uses Ling's MoE architecture and activates about 63B parameters per inference. It is designed for real-world Agent workflows, coding agents, tool use and long-horizon task execution. Ring-2.6-1T introduces adjustable reasoning effort levels, high and xhigh, for production-default agent workflows and more difficult math, research and complex analysis tasks. The docs also note OpenRouter early access for Ring-2.6-1T and API availability for Ring-2.5-1T.

Editorial verdict

Best for

Teams comparing Chinese reasoning and coding-agent models for tool orchestration, repository work and long-horizon autonomous execution.

Avoid if

Avoid assuming Ring-2.6-1T is production API-ready until console availability and billing are verified.

Why it matters

Ring has a coding-agent and tool-use profile that fits AI Coding better than the generic Ant Ling entry.

Pricing

Ring-2.5-1T pricing: ¥4.00 input / ¥8.00 output per 1M tokens; Ring-2.6-1T has limited-time free OpenRouter access until May 15, 2026

Payment
