    "excerpt": "by Suhasini Srinivasaragavan 31 Jul 2026 Image: © jolygon/Stock.adobe.com Inkling Small matches or exceeds Inkling on reasoning and agentic tasks, the company said. Nvidia-backed Thinking Machines Lab has unveiled a new open-weights model that performs “comparabl[y]” to Inkling , but at fourth its size. The company launched its first AI model Inkling earlier this month following a mega partnership with Nvidia that gave Thinking Machines access to its GB300 NVL72 systems for training. The chipmaker also made a significant investment into the company. Inkling-Small comes in at 276bn total, and 12bn active parameters. Compared to its bigger predecessor, the new model achieves comparable performance with much less compute, said Thinking Machines. It matches or exceeds Inkling on reasoning and agentic tasks, it added. Artificial Analysis scores Inkling-Small 40pc on the Intelligence Index, placing it “well above average” to other comparable models. Inkling earns 41pc while DeepSeek V4 Flash matches Inkling-Small at 40pc. At 93 tokens per second, the model is also faster than the average, it said. On Humanity’s Last Exam, the model scored above 31pc, ahead of Inkling’s 29.7pc, and on the SWEBench-Verified, it crossed 80pc. The model takes text, image, and audio inputs and outputs text. Thinking Machines said that Inkling-Small, much like Inkling, is suited for real-world...",
