Thinking Machines Lab has released Inkling, its first general-purpose open-weight AI model.
Built from scratch under Mira Murati’s company, Inkling can take text, images and audio as input, use tools, write code and vary how much computation it spends reasoning before answering.
It produces text; it does not generate images, speech or video.The headline number is 975 billion parameters, with 41 billion used for each token during inference.
The full weights are available to download, and the model card lists an Apache 2.0 licence.
Developers can fine-tune it through Thinking Machines’ Tinker platform or deploy it through third-party providers.There is a substantial catch.
