About

Inkling is an open-weights multimodal AI model from Thinking Machines designed as a customizable foundation model for developers, researchers, and enterprises. The model is a Mixture-of-Experts transformer with 975 billion total parameters, 41 billion active parameters, and support for context windows up to 1 million tokens. Inkling was trained from scratch on text, images, audio, and video, giving it native capabilities across reasoning, coding, agentic tool use, vision, audio, factuality, and instruction following. It is built with controllable thinking effort so users can balance performance, latency, and token efficiency for different workloads. The model is available for fine-tuning on Tinker, with playground access, API availability through ecosystem partners, and full weights published on Hugging Face. Built for customization, Inkling gives teams an open-weights base model for building domain-specific AI systems, multimodal agents, coding workflows, research tools, and more.

About

LFM3 is Liquid AI’s family of compact, open-weight foundation models for text, vision, audio, and multimodal tasks. The release includes text-generation, vision-language, audio, omni, and decision-model variants. Developers can download the model weights, adapt supported models through fine-tuning, and run them locally on edge hardware or access them through Liquid AI’s hosted API. Use cases include conversational assistants, tool calling, speech transcription and generation, image and video understanding, document extraction, classification, routing, and robotics applications. LFM3 is intended for developers, researchers, and organizations building specialized AI applications that need flexible deployment choices, including local inference. Open-weight models are available under Liquid AI’s LFM Open License; commercial eligibility and terms depend on an organization’s annual revenue.
