Description

Inkling 2 Small is a general-purpose multimodal AI model developed by Thinking Machines Lab for software engineering, advanced reasoning, visual analysis, and autonomous agent applications. The model features a sparse mixture-of-experts architecture containing 594 billion total parameters, with approximately 17 billion parameters activated during inference. Its one-million-token context window supports processing large documents, software repositories, extended conversations, and complex collections of information. Inkling 2 Small accepts text and image inputs and generates text outputs, enabling visual reasoning, programming assistance, document analysis, and multimodal problem-solving. Its agentic coding capabilities support autonomous software development, code debugging, repository modifications, application creation, and verification of completed engineering tasks. The model can also perform extended research workflows involving machine learning experimentation, GPU kernel optimization, data analysis, and iterative scientific problem-solving. Configurable reasoning effort allows users to balance response speed and computational resources against the complexity of individual tasks. Thinking Machines Lab reports benchmark scores of 25.4% on FrontierCode 2.0, 72.1% on DeepSWE 1.1, and 86.3% on SWE-Bench Pro v2 Hard. Inkling 2 Small is available for inference and fine-tuning through Tinker, with model weights scheduled for release under the Apache 2.0 license after additional safety evaluations.

Description

MiniMax M3.1 Flash is an advanced hosted language model designed specifically for developers who are creating coding assistants, AI agents, and various software applications. It can be accessed via MiniMax's API and MiniMax Code, allowing it to process inputs in text, image, and video formats while generating relevant text responses. Among its documented applications are functionalities such as code generation, debugging, complex reasoning tasks, tool utilization, analysis of codebases and documents, as well as enhancing computer workflows. The API boasts an impressive context window that can handle up to 1 million tokens, offers adjustable reasoning capabilities, and supports request formats that are compatible with both OpenAI and Anthropic standards. Charges for usage are based on the number of tokens used for input, output, and cached input. Comprehensive documentation is provided by MiniMax to assist with API integration and effective model utilization. M3.1 Flash is accessible through the hosted API, M Plan, and MiniMax Code, while there are plans to release model weights in the future, expanding its potential applications even further. This innovation represents a significant step forward in the integration of AI into software development processes.
