thinking machines lab's inkling model is now visible on openrouter's model board, showcasing its capabilities with 41 billion active parameters out of a staggering 975 billion total. this open-weight multimodal mixture-of-experts model is built for general-purpose reasoning, coding, and developing agentic and tool-use systems, making it a versatile player in the AI landscape.
the introduction of inkling highlights the ongoing competition among AI models to provide comprehensive solutions across various tasks. with its advanced architecture, inkling could potentially reshape how developers approach coding and automation, attracting attention from both startups and established companies.
however, the model's high parameter count raises questions about its efficiency and practical deployment in real-world applications. as more details emerge, it will be crucial to monitor how inkling performs in comparison to other leading models in the market.
