About
Inkling 2 Small is a multimodal AI model developed by Thinking Machines Lab for advanced reasoning, autonomous software engineering, visual understanding, and AI agent development. The model uses a mixture-of-experts architecture with 594 billion total parameters and 17 billion active parameters to balance intelligence and computational efficiency. It supports text and image inputs, a context window of up to one million tokens, and configurable reasoning effort for tasks requiring different levels of analysis. Its agentic capabilities enable autonomous code generation, debugging, website development, scientific research, and complex multistep workflows involving external tools. Inkling 2 Small also supports fine-tuning and reinforcement learning through Thinking Machines Lab's Tinker platform, allowing developers to customize the model for specialized applications.

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.
