Inkling 2S matches Dots3 on ARC but costs roughly 3.5x more
teortaxesTex · x · 2026-11-07
teortaxesTex compares two models on the ARC benchmark: Inkling 2 Small (XHigh) performs at roughly the same level as Dots3-Note Preview (Max), but at about 3.5x the price.
Caveats: the 3.5x figure uses ARC's peak price for 1017 versus Baseten's base price, and "maybe better" reflects that this space moves fast — plus Inkling 2S isn't uniquely strong on ARC the way Dots is; it's a more general model.
