Is this the same model they are using for interaction models? https://thinkingmachines.ai/blog/interaction-models/
(look under "multimodality" in the blog post: https://thinkingmachines.ai/news/introducing-inkling/)
What strikes me the most is just how many different tasks are involved in modern model design. It used to be the case that you come up with a new loss function, slight architecture changes, etc., run your train and eval loop, and publish the artifacts. Now, there’s so much work to do just to keep up. It’s the ultimate red queen race. All of the 500 steps involved, each of which is its own little optimization loop, is…
For a first model, and given it's open, I am gaining some faith in American Open research labs again... I couldn't test it since it's not on openrouter or something, but even if it's only as good as GLM5.1 that's more than good enough first attempt, I think. Perhaps a lot more labs will catch up to ballpark frontier esque level soon, I am all for more competition in any field.
it's on TrustedRouter https://trustedrouter.com/models/thinkingmachines/inkling-1m
Earlier quoted context omitted.
It doesn't matter until it does. If the chinese government decides that open weight model releases are no longer allowed, that's a lot of companies that can't release new models. Same with the US government, etc. Having diversity is important.
However unlike the US models, China banning the release of new models would not break existing ones. Betting on US models only can get you locked out in just a few hours.
Very nice, multi modal, largest open weight model that supports audio. Would be interesting to see how good the audio capability is. If you want to run locally, checkout https://github.com/danielhanchen/llama.cpp/tree/add-inkling https://unsloth.ai/docs/models/inkling https://huggingface.co/unsloth/inkling-GGUF https://huggingface.co/unsloth/inkling-NVFP4 This supposedly is better than KimiK2.7, as much hype as GLM5.…
Not to mention - it is American. This is the first competitive non-Chinese open weights model since what, Llama 3?

I do not know yet how smart it is, but the NVIDIA LLMs are very well optimized for fast inference (on their GPUs of course).
Previously that was the biggest American open-weights LLM.
