Description
Inkling-Small is an efficient Mixture-of-Experts transformer model built to provide performance comparable to Inkling while using a much smaller active parameter footprint. The model has 276 billion total parameters and 12 billion active parameters, making it designed for strong capability with more efficient compute usage. Inkling-Small was trained on NVIDIA GB300 NVL72 systems and supports native reasoning across text, images, and audio. It offers context windows of up to one million tokens, making it suitable for long documents, large codebases, multimodal context, and extended agent workflows. Users can set reasoning effort from minimal to extra high to control the balance between speed, cost, compute, and task complexity. The model benefits from improved pre-training data, post-training with on-policy distillation from Inkling, and extended agentic coding reinforcement learning. These improvements helped Inkling-Small surpass its larger counterpart on reasoning and coding benchmarks. Its encoder-free multimodal architecture processes audio as dMel spectrograms and images as 40-by-40-pixel patches alongside text tokens. By combining efficient MoE scaling, long-context reasoning, multimodal input, coding strength, and adjustable thinking effort, Inkling-Small is built for practical high-performance AI deployment.
Description
The MAI-1 Preview marks the debut of Microsoft AI's fully in-house developed foundation model, utilizing a mixture-of-experts architecture for streamlined performance. This model has undergone extensive training on around 15,000 NVIDIA H100 GPUs, equipping it to adeptly follow user instructions and produce relevant text responses for common inquiries, thus illustrating a prototype for future Copilot functionalities. Currently accessible for public testing on LMArena, MAI-1 Preview provides an initial look at the platform's direction, with plans to introduce select text-driven applications in Copilot over the next few weeks aimed at collecting user insights and enhancing its capabilities. Microsoft emphasizes its commitment to integrating its proprietary models, collaborations with partners, and advancements from the open-source sector to dynamically enhance user experiences through millions of distinct interactions every day. This innovative approach illustrates Microsoft's dedication to continuously evolving its AI offerings.
