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

SWE-2 Flash is an AI coding model developed by Cognition to provide fast, cost-efficient software engineering capabilities for autonomous development agents. Built on Thinking Machines' Inkling-Small foundation model, it uses mid-training and reinforcement learning to improve coding performance, reasoning, and task execution. The model supports software development activities such as code generation, code reviews, feature development, documentation updates, and automated engineering workflows. SWE-2 Flash generates approximately 200 tokens per second, making it three times faster and five times less expensive than the larger SWE-2 model. Its 276-billion-parameter mixture-of-experts architecture activates approximately 12 billion parameters during inference to balance performance and computational efficiency. SWE-2 Flash is available through Devin Desktop and CLI, with Cognition also developing a secure model-weight sharing program for trusted research and enterprise partners.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • This is the kind of model I would use all day for normal engineering work. It is fast enough that it does not feel like I am waiting on the model, but it is still strong enough for feature work, code review, docs, automations, and debugging. The speed is probably the biggest win. Cognition says it runs at around 200 tokens per second versus about 60 for SWE-2, and that difference matters a lot once an agent starts iterating through files and tools. The cost-performance balance is also really good. It is one-fifth the price of SWE-2, while scoring 45.5 on FrontierCode 1.1 Main, 60.1 on DeepSWE 1.1, and 89.9 on SWE-Bench Pro v2 Hard.

Cons

  • My main complaint is that it is not the model I would choose for the hardest repo-wide work. SWE-2 still has a noticeable edge on some tougher benchmarks, so I would move up when the task really needs it.
