Thinking Machines Releases 975B Multimodal Model
The Decoder · rss · 2026-07-16
Thinking Machines Lab (founded by former OpenAI CTO Mira Murati) has released Inkling, a 975B parameter multimodal open-weights model.
The article notes that it leads US open-weights models on the Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index, though it still lags behind top Chinese open-source models on certain tasks. Official pricing starts at $1.87 per million input tokens, positioning it more as a "foundation model ready for fine-tuning" rather than claiming to be the absolute strongest model.
