[Inkling 2 Small from Thinking Machines](https://vercel.com/ai-gateway/models/inkling-2-small) is now available on AI Gateway. The multimodal reasoning model supports coding agents, visual understanding, and professional knowledge work, with text and image inputs and text output.

Inkling 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.
