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

Shieldstral is a 3B open-weights, policy-adaptive multimodal safety classifier designed to evaluate text, images, and text-plus-image content using policies defined at inference time. Instead of relying on a fixed taxonomy of harm categories, it frames moderation as a binary question-answering task: users provide an instruction describing the evaluation context and strictness, a yes-or-no safety question, and the content to judge. The model reads the “yes” and “no” logits and converts them into a continuous, calibrated safety score, allowing applications to threshold or rank results by confidence rather than depend on a single discrete label. This formulation unifies prompt classification, response moderation, refusal detection, toxicity detection, and multimodal safety in one interface, while letting teams adapt policies without retraining the model. Shieldstral can evaluate prompts, responses, prompt-response pairs, images, and images with accompanying text.
