Inkling Launches on Modal with 67% Speedup
graceisford · x · 2026-07-16
Inkling is now available on Modal's Auto Endpoints. Paired with a custom DFlash speculator, it reportedly delivers 67% higher throughput and interactivity.
The core highlight here isn't the model's inherent capability, but rather its deployment stack optimization. By running inference with SGLang and boosting endpoint performance via the speculator, it demonstrates that there is still significant room for optimization in the hosted inference layer for open-source models.
