Ex-OpenAI CTO Murati's Thinking Machines drops Inkling, a 975B parameter model that leads US labs but trails China

Thinking Machines Lab, founded by former OpenAI CTO Mira Murati, has released Inkling, a multimodal open-weights model with 975 billion parameters. It leads U.S. open-weights models on the Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index, though top Chinese open models still beat it on some tasks. Pricing starts at $1.87 per million input tokens, and Thinking Machines is pitching Inkling as a base for fine-tuning rather than the most powerful model available.
