Thinking Machines Lab has released Inkling, a new family of open-weights multimodal foundation models. The flagship Inkling model features 975 billion total parameters with 41 billion active, supports a 1 million token context window, and is trained on 45 trillion tokens of text, images, and audio. A smaller version, Inkling-Small, with 12 billion active parameters, is also available. The models are licensed under Apache 2.0 and are designed for efficient reasoning across text, image, and audio modalities, positioning them as a strong baseline for customization and practical applications.
