Thinking Machines, co-founded by former OpenAI executive Mira Murati, has released its first model, Inkling. Unlike many frontier models, Inkling does not aim to top leaderboards, scoring lower than models like Claude Fable-5 on benchmarks such as SWE-bench and GPQA Diamond. The 975-billion-parameter multimodal model is intentionally designed for fine-tuning and has been released under the permissive Apache 2.0 license, allowing users to freely adapt and commercialize it.
