natolambert · x · 2026-07-16

This post relays key info from the model card and blog: Inkling has roughly 1T parameters and 41B active parameters, released under the Apache-2 license.

Regarding benchmark results, the author notes clear improvements over Nemotron Ultra, calling it one of the best new American models while supporting omni input. However, it slightly lags behind GLM 5.2 on agentic benchmarks and marginally trails Kimi K 2.6 in multimodal tasks.
