Positioning of Thinking Machines' Inkling
krishnan · x · 2026-07-19
This comment suggests that Thinking Machines' new product, Inkling, might be better positioned as a "customizable" solution rather than directly competing in general intelligence with frontier models.
The author views this as a deliberate product positioning choice: rather than competing solely on being "smarter," it emphasizes controllability, customizability, and ease of deployment.
