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

MAI-Thinking-1 is Microsoft AI’s reasoning model, built for complex problems that matter most, with competitive reasoning and strong software engineering performance in its weight class. It is a 35B-active, approximately 1T-total-parameter sparse Mixture of Experts model, giving it a smaller inference footprint than much larger models while still matching leading models on key software engineering benchmarks. Microsoft trained MAI-Thinking-1 from the ground up on enterprise-grade, clean, commercially licensed data, without distillation from third-party models, so its capabilities are learned rather than inherited. The model is part of Microsoft AI’s Hill-Climbing Machine, a co-designed development pipeline built to make every component of model development continually and reliably improve over time. MAI-Thinking-1 is designed for agentic coding environments where models must read code, edit files, run tests, observe failures, and recover from intermediate mistakes.
