Thinking Machines Lab released Inkling on July 15, 2026, its first model trained from scratch. The full weights ship under Apache 2.0. It is a 975B-parameter Mixture-of-Experts transformer with 41B active parameters, a 1M-token context window, and native text, image, and audio input. The lab states plainly that Inkling is not the strongest model available, open or closed. It is positioned instead as a customization base, with controllable thinking effort as the practical differentiator.
