Thinking Machines Lab, founded by OpenAI exiles including former CTO Mira Murati, released Inkling, an open-weight AI model trained on audio, video, and text inputs. Inkling contains 975 billion parameters and performs comparably to leading Chinese open-weight models while being cheaper to run than closed alternatives. The release positions Thinking Machines as a competitor in the AI market and supports its vision for decentralized AI development outside the control of a few dominant companies.
