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.

About
Lumen Outpost is Cosine’s targeted post-trained coding model, benchmarked against Kimi K2.6, its base model, GPT-5.5, GPT-5.4, and Gemini 3.1 Pro on highly complex, long-horizon coding tasks across 13 programming languages. The model is specialized not only for raw coding accuracy, but also for behavioral signals that matter in professional engineering workflows, including agent initiative, planning, scope discipline, action alignment, concise updates, and useful communication. Cosine’s benchmark report shows that highly targeted post-training transformed the base model’s capabilities, with Lumen Outpost outperforming Kimi K2.6 across Niche-Bench, Slop-Bench, Vibe-Bench, and cost per successful task. On Niche-Bench, an internal evaluation for niche, legacy, and environment-constrained programming languages, Lumen Outpost achieved a 53.9% score and led or tied in 9 of 13 assessed languages, with notable gains in Fortran, ABAP, Java, and Rust.
