About

GigaChat 3 Ultra is a 702-billion-parameter Mixture-of-Experts model built from scratch to deliver frontier-level reasoning, multilingual capability, and deep Russian-language fluency. It activates just 36 billion parameters per token, enabling massive scale with practical inference speeds. The model was trained on a 14-trillion-token corpus combining natural, multilingual, and high-quality synthetic data to strengthen reasoning, math, coding, and linguistic performance. Unlike modified foreign checkpoints, GigaChat 3 Ultra is entirely original—giving developers full control, modern alignment, and a dataset free of inherited limitations. Its architecture leverages MoE, MTP, and MLA to match open-source ecosystems and integrate easily with popular inference and fine-tuning tools. With leading results on Russian benchmarks and competitive performance on global tasks, GigaChat 3 Ultra represents one of the largest and most capable open-source LLMs in the world.

About

Inkling-Small is an efficient model that offers performance comparable to Inkling at a quarter of its size. It is a Mixture-of-Experts transformer with 276 billion total parameters and 12 billion active parameters, trained on NVIDIA GB300 NVL72 systems. It supports native reasoning across text, images, and audio, variable thinking effort, and context windows of up to one million tokens. Users adjust reasoning effort from minimal to extra high to balance performance and compute. Improved pre-training data, post-training with on-policy distillation from Inkling, and extended agentic coding reinforcement learning helped Inkling-Small surpass its larger counterpart on reasoning and coding benchmarks. It performs well in coding and tool-use harnesses, exceeds 80% on SWE-bench Verified, and combines strong reasoning with efficient output. Its encoder-free multimodal architecture processes audio as dMel spectrograms and images as 40-by-40-pixel patches alongside text tokens.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Inkling-Small is really interesting from a developer’s point of view because it hits a sweet spot between serious model capability and practical deployability. A 276B-parameter model with only 12B active parameters per token is exactly the kind of architecture that makes sense if you care about cost, speed, and scaling real AI workflows. I also like that it is open weights under Apache 2.0. That makes it way more appealing for developers who want to fine-tune, inspect, customize, or build on top of the model without being completely locked into a closed API. The multimodal support is a big plus too. Being able to work with text, images, and audio inputs gives Inkling-Small a lot of room for developer tools, coding agents, support bots, document workflows, and internal automation.

Cons

  • The main downside is that “small” here is still not tiny. Even with only 12B active parameters, this is still a large open model that will require real infrastructure if you want to host it yourself. I would also want to test it deeply before making it the backbone of a production coding agent. The model card and early coverage look promising, but real developer workflows expose problems that benchmarks do not always catch: messy repos, flaky tests, weird dependencies, tool failures, and long multi-step tasks.
