A massive mixture-of-experts model with 975 billion total parameters and 41 billion active parameters has just rewritten the playbook. Thinking Machines Lab has officially released Inkling, their landmark open weights multimodal model.
It establishes a powerful new baseline for American open weights AI. It pre-trained on 45 trillion tokens of multimodal data, supporting a massive 1 million token context window.
Independent commentators immediately tagged it as the leading US open weights release. According to artificial analysis, Inkling scored a 41 on the intelligence index, leapfrogging Nimatron 3 Ultra at 38.
While analysts note it remains behind China's GLM-5.2 on Agentic Benchmarks, the release still changes everything for US open source. Alongside the flagship, the lab also previewed Ingling Small, which is proving unexpectedly competitive in early community evaluations.
