Thinking Machines, an AI startup co-founded by former OpenAI CTO Mira Murati, has launched its first open-weight model named Inkling. This model, a mixture-of-experts system with 975 billion parameters, is designed to be customizable by external developers and organizations, contrasting with the proprietary models from major labs like OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google. Inkling was trained on a diverse dataset of 45 trillion tokens and emphasizes native reasoning across text, image, and audio, with a focus on providing calibrated answers and allowing users to adjust "thinking effort" for performance trade-offs.
