Thinking Machines' newly released Inkling 2 Small took 2nd place (74.2) on the SWE-Atlas QnA board after its v1.1 update, trailing only Opus 5.5 (77.4) and beating flagship models like Fable 5.1, Grok 4.7, Sonnet 5.5, and GPT-6.1 Sol.
ScaleAI Labs adds that on agentic tasks the smaller model performs on par with Kimi-K3 on the full SWE-Bench Pro V2 set and with GPT-5.6 Terra on the hard subset — notable results for its size.
