Thinking Machines Lab has launched Inkling, an open weight mixture of experts AI model with 975 billion total parameters and 41 billion active parameters. The model is designed for broad applicability rather than optimization for a single area. This release aligns with a growing trend of decentralized, open-weight AI models as an alternative to closed-source models from major players.
“Thinking Machines Lab has debuted Inkling, an open weight mixture of experts model.”
“With 975 billion total and 41 billion active parameters trained to be broad rather than optimized for just one area.”
“We trained it to be a broad balanced foundation model, strong across many domains, flexible enough to adapt.”
