Thinking Machines Lab, co-founded by former OpenAI executive Mira Murati, has launched its first model, Inkling. This open-weights system boasts 975 billion parameters and a million-token context window, capable of processing text, images, and audio. Uniquely, the company acknowledges Inkling is not the strongest model available, positioning its strategy around users owning and customizing the model rather than renting access. AI
IMPACT Inkling's open-weights approach and honest positioning may signal a shift towards user-owned models, potentially influencing future AI development and adoption strategies.
