TLDR; Inkling by Thinking Machines is out on Hugging Face. Inkling is a huge multimodal LLM that understands all modalities (image, audio, text), has agentic capabilities, and supports 1M context. It comes in full BF16 and a well-calibrated NVFP4 variant, and includes speculative MTP layers for faster inference. There’s day-0 support in transformers, SGLang, and llama.cpp.

What makes Inkling special? Inkling is the first large open model with ~1T parameters and 1M context window to natively receive image, text, and audio inputs , trained on 45 trillion tokens of text, images, audio and video. It’s focused on reasoning across modalities such as audio, images, and text; and is intended for domain adaptation via fine-tuning. We’ve tinkered with this model to build some demos and explore the architecture, and we think it’s great for building a new wave of multimodal reasoning apps.
