Jul 15, 2026

Thinking Machines Lab has released its first open model, Inkling, a 975-billion-parameter multimodal AI trained to understand video and audio. The model is available on Together AI's platform from day one, serving as the company's first public demonstration after a year and a half of developing AI infrastructure largely out of public view.

Why it matters: Inkling could help position Thinking Machines Lab as a competitor to Anthropic and OpenAI in the open model space.
