AI BriefingThinking Machines' Inkling Small Now Available on AI Gateway
Key point
Thinking Machines' lightweight model Inkling Small has been added to AI Gateway, enabling efficient inference and coding tasks.
Details
Thinking Machines' Inkling Small model has officially launched on AI Gateway. This model is about 1/4 the size of the existing Inkling model, delivering performance comparable to larger models while using far less compute.
Key features include:
- Multimodal reasoning: A general-purpose model with native reasoning capabilities for audio and images.
- Optimized for visual tasks: Can programmatically crop, zoom, and inspect specific parts of an image, making it well-suited for detailed document or chart analysis.
- Flexible reasoning control: Supports 'Controllable thinking effort,' allowing users to balance quality against cost/latency according to their needs.
- Security and efficiency: Compatible with Zero Data Retention (ZDR) for enhanced data security, and optimized for coding agents and tool-use workflows.
Users can start using it immediately in the AI SDK by setting the model name to thinkingmachines/inkling-small, and AI Gateway passes through the provider's pricing with no added margin.
