Description

DeepSeek-VL is an innovative open-source model that integrates vision and language capabilities, catering to practical applications in real-world contexts. Our strategy revolves around three fundamental aspects: we prioritize gathering diverse and scalable data that thoroughly encompasses various real-life situations, such as web screenshots, PDFs, OCR outputs, charts, and knowledge-based information, to ensure a holistic understanding of practical environments. Additionally, we develop a taxonomy based on actual user scenarios and curate a corresponding instruction tuning dataset that enhances the model's performance. This fine-tuning process significantly elevates user satisfaction and effectiveness in real-world applications. To address efficiency while meeting the requirements of typical scenarios, DeepSeek-VL features a hybrid vision encoder that adeptly handles high-resolution images (1024 x 1024) without incurring excessive computational costs. Moreover, this design choice not only optimizes performance but also ensures accessibility for a broader range of users and applications.

Description

Inkling is Thinking Machines’ open-weights foundation model built for customization, multimodal reasoning, and agentic AI workflows. The model uses a Mixture-of-Experts architecture with 975 billion total parameters and 41 billion active parameters, making it large in capacity while activating only a subset of experts per token. Inkling supports up to a 1 million token context window and was pretrained on 45 trillion tokens spanning text, images, audio, and video. It is designed as a broad generalist model with strengths across coding, reasoning, instruction following, factuality, tool use, vision, audio understanding, forecasting, and safety. Developers can tune its thinking effort to trade off latency, cost, and performance, which is useful for production systems that need efficient reasoning at scale. Inkling can be fine-tuned on Tinker, tested in the Inkling Playground, and deployed through partners such as TogetherAI, Fireworks, Modal, Databricks, Baseten, vLLM, SGLang, llama.cpp, and Hugging Face transformers. The model can generate applications, operate tools, create styled artifacts, reason over visual and audio inputs, and support long refinement loops for collaborative work. Thinking Machines also previewed Inkling-Small, a lighter Mixture-of-Experts model with 276 billion total parameters and 12 billion active parameters for lower-cost and lower-latency workloads. By combining open weights, multimodal training, agentic capabilities, efficient reasoning, and fine-tuning support, Inkling gives builders a flexible AI foundation for specialized products and workflows.
