Today, we are releasing Inkling-Small.
Inkling-Small achieves comparable performance to Inkling at a quarter of its size. It features 276B total parameters, 12B active. We are making the full weights available.

Our own @johnschulman2 talks with Dwarkesh about where human judgment still matters as models improve and self-improve: teaching them to handle messy real-world tasks, applying taste to what works in the long run, and, above all, specifying what we actually want.
New episode with @johnschulman2, @oneill_c and @BerenMillidge.
I got together with some of the most insightful AI researchers I know who are at the openish companies, because I wanted to hear the details of what's actually happening at the frontier and what comes next.
0:00:00 – Steelmanning the case against RSI
0:18:39 – What’s driving the Chinese labs’ progress
0:28:06 – How will automated AI researchers be trained
0:33:51 – Will long-horizon RL elicit AGI?
0:45:24 – The sim-to-real gap
1:00:33 – How much progress is explained by data?
1:18:03 – Why is RL working so well?
1:24:54 – Move 37 and entropy collapse
1:28:31 – Rapid-fire timelines

Cleaning data and aligning the reward function for RLVR takes expertise and effort upfront, but the result is a model that's state-of-the-art on a complex task.
Guest post by researchers at UIUC and Bridgewater, in collaboration with our team.

LLMs with scaffolds have lagged on text-to-SQL, a task that relies on human judgment. By folding expert judgment into every part of RLVR on Tinker, @maxYuxuanZhu and @ddkang (UIUC and Bridgwater) trained the first text-to-SQL model to beat the human mark.

We want to improve Inkling’s agentic performance. To help us understand its real-world behavior, we are making it available for free on OpenRouter (only with agentic harnesses) for the next few weeks, starting now. We’ll use the data, disassociated from accounts, to better it.

Releasing weights indiscriminately isn't safe. Neither is keeping capable models inside a few labs.
We think there's a path between them. We haven't mapped all of it. Our new post covers the part we can see: how we assessed Inkling, and why access should widen in stages.

Another open-weight release from @thinkymachines 👀 Inkling-Small is here.
With native reasoning over audio and images and variable thinking effort, it's a great choice for fine-tuning, with NVIDIA NeMo on NVIDIA DGX Station.

Like Inkling, it's natively multimodal. It’s encoder-free, with audio and images processed jointly with text. It nearly matches Inkling across multimodal evals, and it can use Python to crop, zoom, and inspect images while reasoning over documents and charts.

Safety work is only as good as the access researchers and defenders have to real models, and open sharing is how the whole ecosystem gets stronger. Glad to support the Open Secure AI Alliance.
AI security advances when the industry builds in the open, together.
We're introducing the Open Secure AI Alliance with industry leaders to develop new techniques and tools to safeguard software and agents.
By sharing models, tooling and research in the open, we can broaden the community of defenders.

Inkling is the first in a family. We’ve included some details of Inkling-Small, a lighter-weight model trained on a similar recipe, with full weights to follow.
