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.

Description

Moondream is an open-source vision language model crafted for efficient image comprehension across multiple devices such as servers, PCs, mobile phones, and edge devices. It features two main versions: Moondream 2B, which is a robust 1.9-billion-parameter model adept at handling general tasks, and Moondream 0.5B, a streamlined 500-million-parameter model tailored for use on hardware with limited resources. Both variants are compatible with quantization formats like fp16, int8, and int4, which helps to minimize memory consumption while maintaining impressive performance levels. Among its diverse capabilities, Moondream can generate intricate image captions, respond to visual inquiries, execute object detection, and identify specific items in images. The design of Moondream focuses on flexibility and user-friendliness, making it suitable for deployment on an array of platforms, thus enhancing its applicability in various real-world scenarios. Ultimately, Moondream stands out as a versatile tool for anyone looking to leverage image understanding technology effectively.
