Thinking Machines has released Inkling, an open-weights Mixture-of-Experts transformer model with 975 billion total parameters and 41 billion active parameters. This model supports a context window of up to 1 million tokens and was trained on a diverse dataset of text, images, audio, and video. Alongside Inkling, they are also previewing Inkling-Small, a lighter-weight model with 12 billion active parameters, designed for lower cost and latency. Inkling is positioned as a versatile base model for customization, featuring multimodal capabilities and efficient thinking, and is available for fine-tuning on the Tinker platform. AI
IMPACT Provides a powerful, customizable open-weights multimodal model for developers, potentially accelerating innovation in AI applications.
