ThinkyMachines releases Inkling-Small multimodal model on Together AI

ThinkyMachines has released Inkling-Small, an open-weight multimodal model available on Together AI. This new model offers performance comparable to Inkling but at a quarter of the size, making it suitable for coding, agents, and general multimodal tasks. Inkling-Small features 276 billion total parameters with 12 billion active, native reasoning across text, image, and audio, and supports up to a 1 million token context window. AI

IMPACT Provides a more efficient, open-weight multimodal model for developers, potentially lowering costs for AI applications.
