Description
Inkling is Thinking Machines’ first open-weights model, a 975B MoE with 41B active parameters, 1M context, native reasoning across text, images, and audio, and controllable thinking effort. Fine-tune it on Tinker or download the Apache 2.0 weights.

Could you build this?
No Training a 975-billion parameter multimodal Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) model requires immense supercomputing clusters, hundreds of millions of dollars, and cutting-edge machine learning research expertise.
What it would actually take: Training a 975B MoE requires massive multi-node GPU/TPU clusters (e.g., Megatron-LM, DeepSpeed), multi-trillion token multimodal datasets, custom MoE routing architectures, and distributed training engineering (pipeline, tensor, and expert parallelism). The sheer capital, infrastructure, and algorithmic specialization put this far outside the reach of vibe coding.
