thinking machines lab just launched inkling, a multimodal mixture-of-experts model now visible on openrouter's model board. with 41 billion active parameters out of a staggering 975 billion total, inkling is built for general-purpose reasoning, coding, and advanced agentic and tool-use systems.
this release signals a significant step in the evolution of AI models, particularly in their ability to handle complex tasks across various domains. developers and businesses looking to leverage cutting-edge AI capabilities should keep an eye on inkling's performance and potential applications.
however, the sheer scale of inkling raises questions about practical deployment and resource requirements, which could limit accessibility for smaller teams and startups. watch how the community adapts to integrate this powerful tool into their workflows. @OpenRouter
