Ant Bailing has officially open sourced its first native multimodal model, Ling-3.0-flash-VL.
Ant Bailing has officially open-sourced its first native multimodal model, Ling-3.0-flash-VL. The model was previously launched via API; this release includes BF16 and FP8 weights under the MIT license, with FP4 and INT4 versions to follow later. Ling-3.0-flash-VL can process images, videos, documents, and software interfaces, then call tools to complete operations, and further check and modify based on execution results. For example, when building a webpage, it can write code based on reference images, then review the actual page performance and adjust it on its own. The model uses a Mixture of Experts (MoE) architecture, with approximately 124 billion total parameters and around 5.5 billion activated parameters per inference run. Its context window can be extended up to 1 million tokens. Ling-3.0-flash-VL inherits the core advantage of Ling-3.0-flash as an efficient execution node in agent workflows, balancing output quality and operational efficiency in visual feedback loops, enabling it to complete full tasks at lower cost and in less time.

A crypto whale transfers another 209 BTC to a centralized exchange (CEX), with its total cashout over the past three months exceeding $12.9 million.
According to EmberCN’s monitoring, a crypto whale transferred 209.1 BTC to Binance roughly half an hour ago, worth about $16.44 million. Over the past three months, this whale has sold a total of 329.1 BTC at an average selling price of $75,392. The BTC were originally accumulated in 2022 at an average cost of $36,066, generating a total profit of approximately $12.94 million and a return of 109%.

Ant Group announces open-sourcing of multimodal large model Ling-3.0-flash-VL
Ant Group’s open-source announcement has officially unveiled and open-sourced Ling-3.0-flash-VL, the first native multimodal large model in its Ling series. Derived from the MoE (Mixture of Experts) architecture of Ling-3.0-flash, the model has a total parameter count of 124 billion, with 5.5 billion parameters activated per inference. It natively supports image, text, and video inputs, and features a 256K-token context window.
Focused on the theme of “how to complete real-world tasks more reliably and efficiently”, Ling-3.0-flash-VL explores key directions including: Integrating visual capabilities into large models— a common concern is that this will diminish text intelligence, but training practices have yielded the opposite result: native multimodal joint training not only expands application boundaries but also enhances text intelligence. The model introduces a visual feedback mechanism: observing execution results, comparing against targets, identifying discrepancies, and iterating corrections, shifting tasks from one-off “generation” to a closed loop of “observe → act → verify → correct” to boost execution reliability. It also inherits Ling-3.0-flash’s core strength as an efficient execution node in Agent workflows, balancing output quality and operational efficiency within the visual feedback loop, enabling full task completion at lower cost and in shorter time.

Tether freezes approximately $39.3 million worth of USDT, involving addresses linked to Xinbi Guarantee.
Tether froze approximately $39.3 million in USDT across 10 addresses on the Tron network earlier today, with the addresses linked to Xinbi Guarantee. Sources reveal that Xinbi Guarantee is an escrow trading market that emerged on Telegram around 2022. Blockchain analytics firm TRM Labs has previously identified it as one of the largest illegal cryptocurrency markets in Southeast Asia, stating the platform has handled roughly $24.2 billion in total transactions. On-chain tracking platform MistTrack was the first to break the news of the related USDT freeze. This move marks Tether’s further step in on-chain asset freezing measures, targeting addresses deemed connected to high-risk or suspected illegal activities.

US and UK Simultaneously Push for Superintelligence Ban; Violations in the U.S. Carry Maximum 20-Year Sentence
Beating AI Express: US and UK lawmakers are simultaneously advancing legislation to ban "superintelligent AI". U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders and Representative Greg Casar have unveiled the "Ban Artificial Superintelligence Act", which would permanently prohibit the development and deployment of superintelligent AI, and suspend work on more advanced AI until a new federal regulatory agency establishes safety rules. Violating individuals face up to 20 years in prison, while companies could even be forced to dissolve. The bill has not yet been formally submitted to Congress and is expected to be introduced in the coming weeks.
UK Labour Party MP Alex Sobel has tabled a Superintelligence Bill in the House of Commons. It would not only ban the development and deployment of superintelligent AI capable of undermining the control of human institutions like governments, but also require the government to monitor and restrict systems that could lead to superintelligent AI.
Both the U.S. and U.K. proposals call on their governments to push for international agreements to prevent R&D from shifting to other countries to continue. However, neither ban is currently likely to become law. The U.S. proposal runs counter to the current administration’s AI policy direction; the UK government also does not support a full ban, and Sobel’s bill is more of a parliamentary public initiative at present, with very low chances of actual passage.
