Thinking Machines Lab Launches Inkling 2 Small AI Model with 594 Billion Parameters
Thinking Machines Lab, an AI startup founded by former OpenAI executive Mira Murati, has launched its second-generation model, Inkling 2 Small. This model features a Mixture-of-Experts architecture with 594 billion parameters, activating 17 billion during computation. It improves on previous versions in coding, vision, knowledge work, and reasoning, handling image inputs but not audio. Training involved reinforcement learning on extensive coding tasks, enhancing its ability to perform extended autonomous workflows and refine complex projects like websites and 3D designs.
