Inkling-Small
Efficient multimodal MoE model for coding, tools, and reasoning
Inkling-Small is an open-weight general-purpose multimodal model from Thinking Machines Lab, designed for agentic systems, coding assistants, chatbots, retrieval workflows, and natural-language applications. It accepts text, images, and audio as input and produces text output, with multilingual and multi-programming-language capabilities. The model uses a sparse Mixture-of-Experts architecture with 276B total parameters and 12B active per token, enabling strong performance with lower inference cost than a fully dense model of similar scale. Its 42-layer decoder routes each token through six of 256 specialized experts plus two shared experts, while hybrid local and global attention supports efficient processing. ...
