Inkling Hands-On Test Fails to Impress
emollick · x · 2026-07-16
After testing the new open-weight model Inkling, Emollick found its performance unstable in his tests: even when set to xHigh, it struggled to work reliably, with its chain of thought 'diverging' on simple requests.
Replies also noted that Inkling's current performance falls far short of some frontier Chinese open-source models, pointing out that it even failed the Lem Test, a test that has supposedly been passed by all frontier models since DeepSeek r1 / Sonnet 3.5.
