What changed

Thinking Machines Lab describes Inkling 2 Small as its second model generation, with 594B total parameters and 17B active parameters. The company says it improves on Inkling in long-horizon work, instruction following, coding, vision, knowledge work, and reasoning, and supports image inputs and variable effort.

Access and availability

Try it in Tinker Playground. Thinking Machines Lab also says it is available for fine-tuning and sampling through Tinker; downloadable checkpoints are planned with the later weight release.

Official access documentation

What you can build

If you have Tinker access, test it on a bounded coding or visual-feedback task and review the model's output and tool use before relying on it.

Limitations

The weights are initially closed. Thinking Machines Lab intends to release them under Apache 2.0 after external safety testing and red-teaming. Performance and benchmark results on the launch page are company-reported.
