A 975-billion-parameter open-weights multimodal model with controllable reasoning effort, long context, and native text, image, and audio support.
Thinking Machines Lab introduced Inkling in July 2026 as a model trained from scratch with downloadable weights. The release reflects the lab's focus on customization: people should be able to adapt a capable foundation model to their own uses. Inkling combines text, image and audio capabilities with adjustable reasoning effort. It launched alongside access to fine-tuning through Tinker and a preview of a smaller model. The team framed the release as the beginning of a model family, emphasizing a balanced, adaptable foundation rather than claiming leadership on every benchmark.
