Ling 3.1 Flash vs GPT-6 Astra (Medium)

What the captured data shows

Ling 3.1 Flash has lower listed token prices, higher output throughput and a shorter first-token delay than GPT-6 Astra Medium in the recorded data. Astra has the higher intelligence index. The current source records contain no individual benchmark results to explain that index difference for a specific task.

Which model fits your workflow

Try Ling on the interactions where delay or cost currently limits usage, while checking answers against a consistent acceptance rule. Keep examples requiring careful reasoning in the test set rather than assuming a fast result is sufficient. Record both failures and successful runs.

Decision takeaway

Ling’s recorded operational figures make it a candidate for evaluation, while Astra’s higher aggregate index remains relevant context.

These figures come from Franklin’s Artificial Analysis-sourced model records captured on 2026-10-11. Read the individual model entries for the data snapshot: Ling 3.1 Flash and GPT-6 Astra (Medium). Missing measurements remain unavailable; this page does not report a new hands-on test.
