Thinking Machines Lab launches Inkling, an open-weights multimodal model

Mira Murati's Thinking Machines Lab has released Inkling, an open-weights model with 975 billion parameters (41 billion active) trained on 45 trillion tokens of text, images, audio, and video. The model is licensed under Apache 2.0 and will be available for fine-tuning via their Tinker platform.

WHY IT MATTERS

The launch shows that Thinking Machines is betting on open model architecture as a foundation for customization, not as a frontier model. This represents an alternative strategy in the competition for AI dominance—focusing on flexibility and user adaptation rather than raw performance.
