Model roster · Added Thinking Machines Lab and its first model, Inkling: a 975B-parameter (41B active) open-weight (Apache 2.0) multimodal MoE with 1M-token context, released 2026-07-15. No first-party per-token API pricing is published (monetized via the Tinker fine-tuning platform); benchmark scores are published on the model card but not yet normalized into this roster’s comparable set, so quality/speed/cost fields are left unknown rather than estimated.
