Description

Inkling is Thinking Machines’ open-weights foundation model built for customization, multimodal reasoning, and agentic AI workflows. The model uses a Mixture-of-Experts architecture with 975 billion total parameters and 41 billion active parameters, making it large in capacity while activating only a subset of experts per token. Inkling supports up to a 1 million token context window and was pretrained on 45 trillion tokens spanning text, images, audio, and video. It is designed as a broad generalist model with strengths across coding, reasoning, instruction following, factuality, tool use, vision, audio understanding, forecasting, and safety. Developers can tune its thinking effort to trade off latency, cost, and performance, which is useful for production systems that need efficient reasoning at scale. Inkling can be fine-tuned on Tinker, tested in the Inkling Playground, and deployed through partners such as TogetherAI, Fireworks, Modal, Databricks, Baseten, vLLM, SGLang, llama.cpp, and Hugging Face transformers. The model can generate applications, operate tools, create styled artifacts, reason over visual and audio inputs, and support long refinement loops for collaborative work. Thinking Machines also previewed Inkling-Small, a lighter Mixture-of-Experts model with 276 billion total parameters and 12 billion active parameters for lower-cost and lower-latency workloads. By combining open weights, multimodal training, agentic capabilities, efficient reasoning, and fine-tuning support, Inkling gives builders a flexible AI foundation for specialized products and workflows.

Description

Mercury 3 is an innovative generative AI model offered by Inception, designed specifically for developers creating interactive applications. It employs a diffusion-based methodology to generate text concurrently, while also enabling streaming responses, tool utilization, structured outputs, and multimodal inputs that encompass text, images, and audio. By leveraging the Inception API, teams can implement it in various applications, such as conversational assistants, voice-driven platforms, search and browsing functionalities, tutoring solutions, and other responsive tasks that require dynamic generation. This powerful model is accessible through Inception's API and partnered inference providers, featuring compatibility with OpenAI's API for seamless integration into existing applications. Developers can assess the quality of the output and its latency before incorporating the model into their software, utilizing the comprehensive documentation provided with the API and SDK ecosystem. The service operates on a token-based usage system, offering a complimentary allocation along with paid rates for input and output tokens; enterprise-level options provide dedicated capacity and specialized support, ensuring flexibility and scalability for diverse projects. Ultimately, Mercury 3 empowers developers to harness advanced AI capabilities in their applications, streamlining the development process and enhancing user experiences.
