thinking machines lab 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 975 billion total. it's built for a range of applications including general-purpose reasoning, coding, and agentic tool-use systems.
with inkling entering the competitive landscape of AI models, it aims to provide robust performance across various tasks, catering to developers and researchers looking to leverage its capabilities. the model's design reflects a growing trend towards more adaptable and efficient AI systems that can handle complex interactions in real time.
however, as with any new model, the real test will be in its practical applications and how it stacks up against existing giants in the field. keep an eye on user feedback and performance metrics as they roll in, as they will be crucial in determining inkling's impact in the market. @OpenRouterAI
