Ant's Bai Ling and Kunlun Wanwei Open-Source New Models at Sustainability Leaders Conference
At the 2026 Sustainable Global Leaders Conference in Shanghai, Ant Group's Bai Ling lab formally open-sourced its Ling-3.1-flash model, while Kunlun Wanwei released a consumer-GPU video large model and open-sourced it in sync, according to conference dispatches. The announcements extend China's open-source momentum beyond chat models into specialized and multimodal territory, giving developers and smaller enterprises lower-cost access to capable models for finance, content creation and on-premise deployment. Together with DeepSeek's DeepInfer release, the flurry of open weights from major Chinese labs reinforces a strategy of competing through openness and ecosystem reach rather than closed APIs.
