Inkling 2 Small is Thinking Machines Lab's new 594B-parameter MoE model with 17B active, built for long-horizon coding, visual tasks, and agents. Available on Tinker for inference and fine-tuning.
Thinking Machines Lab is back with Inkling 2 Small! It's a big jump from the previous generation, especially in coding, visual tasks, and long-running agent work.
In one demo, it spends over four hours training another model to forecast time series. It writes its own evaluator, tries different training approaches, fixes bugs along the way, and picks the best checkpoint.
You can try it and fine-tune it on Tinker now, with full weights coming soon!
And about that name... 594B total parameters, 17B active. I get the MoE math, but 594B is an interesting definition of "Small". Now I'm looking forward to the not-so-small one :)
If it's building a UI for me, does it look at screenshots of the running app to refine it, or only at code and error logs?

Who hunted Inkling 2 Small?
Inkling 2 Small was hunted by Zac Zuo. A “hunter” on Product Hunt is the community member who submits a product to the platform — uploading the images, the link, and tagging the makers behind it.
