Thinking Machines' Inkling 2 Small lands on Vercel AI Gateway, open weights, stronger at coding
keirp1 · x · 2026-11-13
Thinking Machines' Inkling 2 Small is now on Vercel AI Gateway as an open-weights multimodal reasoning model (thinkingmachines/inkling-2-small). It handles extended coding tasks, tool use, and deliverable production; reads text in images, charts, and UI screenshots to verify its own code. More steerable and stronger at coding than earlier Inklings. Usable via AI SDK or npx vercel ai-gateway setup in Claude Code, Codex, Cursor. Weights are Apache 2.0 on Hugging Face; it tops US open-weights on FrontierMemory at 60.0% ($19 per dream).
