Inkling: Our open-weights model

This article covers the release of Inkling, an open-weights multimodal model by Mira Murati's Thinking Machines Lab. Inkling is a Mixture-of-Experts transformer with 975B total parameters (41B active), trained on 45 trillion tokens of text, images, audio, and video, and licensed under Apache-2.0. The article highlights its competitive position in the US open-weights ecosystem against models like NVIDIA Nemotron and Gemma 4, and notes its intended use as a base model for fine-tuning via the Tinker platform. It also includes technical details on API usage for generating SVGs and image descriptions, making it relevant to AI/ML and software development.
