The multimodal reasoning model supports coding agents, visual understanding, and professional knowledge work, with text and image inputs and text output.\n\nInkling 2 Small can work through extended coding tasks, use tools to gather information, and turn that information into documents, spreadsheets, and other deliverables. Its visual capabilities include reading text in images, interpreting charts and infographics, and inspecting interfaces. For visual development, it can use screenshots to check the output of the code it writes and guide the next revision.\n\nUse `thinkingmachines/inkling-2-small` as the model name:\n\nTo use it in Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, and more, install the latest Vercel CLI and run setup:\n\nThen select `thinkingmachines/inkling-2-small` in the agent. See the [coding agents guide](https://vercel.com/docs/ai-gateway/coding-agents) for details.\n\nTry Inkling 2 Small in the [model playground](https://vercel.com/ai-gateway/models/inkling-2-small).\n\nAI Gateway provides a unified API for calling models, tracking usage and cost, and configuring retries, failover, and performance optimizations for higher-than-provider uptime.
