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
Phi-4-mini-reasoning is a 3.8-billion parameter transformer-based language model optimized for mathematical reasoning and step-by-step problem solving in environments with constrained computing or latency. Fine-tuned with synthetic data generated by the DeepSeek-R1 model, it balances efficiency with advanced reasoning ability. Trained on over one million diverse math problems spanning multiple levels of difficulty from middle school to Ph.D. level, Phi-4-mini-reasoning outperforms its base model on long sentence generation across various evaluations and surpasses larger models like OpenThinker-7B, Llama-3.2-3B-instruct, and DeepSeek-R1. It features a 128K-token context window and supports function calling, enabling integration with external tools and APIs. Phi-4-mini-reasoning can be quantized using Microsoft Olive or Apple MLX Framework for deployment on edge devices such as IoT, laptops, and mobile devices.
