Testing Inkling Small: A Vision-Equipped Model That Can Build Flappy Bird
LiTianleli · x · 2026-07-31
A developer tested Thinky Machines' Inkling Small NVFP4 model by tasking it with building a complete Flappy Bird HTML game from scratch.
Key takeaways from the experiment:
- Vision Capabilities: The model supports vision, allowing it to review screenshots of its work to iteratively improve the game, which is highly beneficial for game development.
- Performance: It runs at around 25 tokens/s in a single stream. While not as fast as DeepSeek V4 Flash, its vision capabilities give it a unique edge.
- Workflow: The developer simply provided two links to Codex and let the AI handle the entire development process autonomously.
