thinking machines lab's new model, inkling, has made its entrance on openrouter's model board, showcasing its 41 billion active parameters out of a staggering 975 billion total. this open-weight multimodal mixture-of-experts model is engineered for tasks like general-purpose reasoning, coding, and tool-use systems, positioning it as a versatile player in the AI landscape. with the growing demand for sophisticated AI solutions, inkling's capabilities could significantly impact various sectors, from software development to advanced automation.
watch for how inkling's performance stacks up against existing models and whether it can carve out a niche in a crowded market. the stakes are high as developers and companies seek cutting-edge tools to enhance productivity and innovation.
however, the sheer number of parameters doesn't always guarantee superior performance, and it remains to be seen how inkling will actually perform in real-world applications. @OpenRouter
