thinking machines has launched its inkling model, now visible on openrouter's model board. this open-weight multimodal mixture-of-experts model features 41 billion active parameters out of a staggering total of 975 billion, positioning it for a range of applications including general-purpose reasoning, coding, and agentic systems.
the introduction of inkling signifies a notable advancement in AI capabilities, particularly in how models can leverage vast amounts of data and processing power. as developers and businesses explore its potential, watch for its impact on various sectors that rely on sophisticated AI solutions.
however, the sheer scale of the model raises questions about accessibility and practical implementation, especially for smaller teams or startups. balancing innovation with usability will be key as the ecosystem evolves. @OpenRouterAI
