    Small & fastOpen weights

    Released Jul 30, 2026

    A smaller sibling of Inkling with the same text, image and audio inputs. It is cheaper and faster and edges out Inkling on reasoning and coding benchmarks, but trails it on factual recall.

    FlagshipOpen weights

    Released Jul 15, 2026

    Thinking Machines' first model: a very large open-weight model that reads text, images and audio. It is built for tool-using agents, calibrated answers and fine-tuning on the lab's Tinker platform; the lab itself says it is not the strongest model available.
