This is a AI post classified by AGK Intelligence as Frontier models (a model release), kept by the AI Radar because it carries real work, not commentary.
Thinking Machines has released Inkling 2 Small, a model that can compete with much larger flagship systems despite its relatively small active parameter count. Built on a Mixture-of-Experts architecture, it has 594B total parameters but activates only 17B per token. It also supports image input and adjustable reasoning depth. Inkling 2 Small performs competitively on coding benchmarks and ranks 3rd on DesignArena, behind only two of the most powerful closed models. Full weights are expected next week under the Apache 2.0 license.
