thinking machines has unveiled inkling small, a multimodal mixture-of-experts model now visible on openrouter's model board. With 12 billion active parameters out of a total of 276 billion, this model aims to provide a more efficient alternative in the growing landscape of AI models.
inkling small is designed to optimize performance while maintaining a smaller footprint, making it an attractive option for developers looking to balance capability with resource constraints. As the demand for versatile AI solutions continues to rise, this model could play a significant role in various applications.
however, the competitive landscape is fierce, and it remains to be seen how well inkling small will perform against other leading models in real-world scenarios. keep an eye on user feedback and adoption rates to gauge its impact in the coming months. @openrouter
