Thinking Machines unveils Inkling 2 Small, a 594-billion-parameter model

A new model announcement

Thinking Machines, the AI company founded by former OpenAI CTO Mira Murati, has introduced a new model called Inkling 2 Small. According to the company, the model has 594 billion parameters.

Performance claims

Thinking Machines says the model produced notable results in performance tests. Parameter count is one measure of a model's size, but it does not on its own describe its capabilities.

Why it matters

Thinking Machines is one of the newer AI labs positioning itself outside giants such as OpenAI, Google and Anthropic. Murati's OpenAI background makes the company's announcements more visible across the industry.

The source does not include further details on when or through which channels the model will become available.
