Inkling Model Specs, Architecture Details & SGLang Support
BanghuaZ · x · 2026-07-16
Thinking Machines' open-source model Inkling boasts 975B total parameters and 41B active parameters (MoE architecture), supports up to a 1M context, and natively handles text, image, and audio reasoning.
Architecture & Inference Optimization:
- Employs a novel architecture, including ShortConv, relative positional encoding attention, and shared expert MoE.
- SGLang now offers comprehensive support: including PD disaggregation, multi-LoRA serving, HiCache, and a DFlash checkpoint trained by Modal.
- Achieves full CUDA graph optimization during the prefill phase and utilizes an MXFP8 KV cache.
