Thinking Machines Lab releases open-weights Inkling model

Former OpenAI CTO Mira Murati's Thinking Machines Lab released Inkling, a 975B-parameter (41B active) multimodal Mixture-of-Experts open-weights model with 1M token context, pretrained on 45T multimodal tokens. It supports fine-tuning and targets agentic tasks, positioning it as a strong U.S. open model. This advances open-source AI accessibility and customization options globally, including potential benefits for Indian developers and sovereign AI efforts.
