Thinking Machines releases 975B open model Inkling
Thinking Machines has launched Inkling, a 975-billion-parameter open-weights Mixture-of-Experts model supporting text, images, and audio with a 1 million token context. Trained on 45 trillion tokens, the natively multimodal model provides an open, customizable alternative to proprietary systems.
A major validation of the open-weights movement that puts frontier-class multimodal performance directly in the hands of developers, threatening proprietary API models.
- –Massive scale of 975B parameters (41B active) demonstrates that open-weights models are no longer lagging behind closed frontier models.
- –Native integration of audio and image modalities allows for rich, multimodal applications without relying on third-party APIs.
- –Built for enterprise customization, facilitating tailored deployment for specific business domains.
