Thinking Machines launches Inkling 2 Small, weights to come
The model scores 31 on Artificial Analysis’s index, level with Gemini 3.8 Flash (high). It would be the top open model from outside China, but its weights are not public yet. Thinking Machines plans them for next week, after safety tests.
Thinking Machines Lab, founded by former OpenAI technology chief Mira Murati, released Inkling 2 Small on November 5. For now it runs only on the company’s Tinker service. The company plans to publish the weights under an Apache 2.0 licence once outside safety testing ends.
