Inkling 2 Small is big, closed, and on Tinker first
Thinking Machines' new model has 594 billion parameters, 17 billion active, and a score of 31 on the Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index. Weights stay closed until outside safety testing. Apache 2.0 is the plan, not today's license.
- Verdict
- Watch Promising, but something is missing: access, pricing, or proof.
- For
- people who need a model they can host themselves
- Why it matters
- The model is on Tinker first, and Apache 2.0 weights are the plan, not today's license.
- Next check
- Recheck when the downloadable files and the license are actually posted.
