Inkling vs. Gemini 3.5 Flash

Inkling is an open-weights multimodal AI model from Thinking Machines built to support customization, agentic workflows, coding, reasoning, vision, audio, and enterprise AI use cases. The model is a Mixture-of-Experts transformer with 975 billion total parameters, 41 billion active parameters, 256 routed experts per MoE layer, and six routed experts active per token. It supports context windows up to 1 million tokens and was pretrained on 45 trillion tokens across text, images, audio, and video. Inkling is designed as a broad foundation model rather than a narrowly optimized benchmark model, giving it balanced capabilities across reasoning, coding, factuality, instruction following, vision, audio, tool use, and safety. Its controllable thinking effort lets developers adjust how much computation and generated reasoning the model uses, helping teams balance quality, latency, and cost for different production needs. The model can run agentic coding tasks, use tools, create web apps, generate polished multi-page artifacts, reason over long contexts, and work through iterative refinement loops. For multimodal tasks, Inkling can process images, answer questions about visual content, transcribe and reason over audio, follow spoken instructions, and combine visual reasoning with code-based tools such as Python. Thinking Machines trained Inkling for calibration, instruction following, factual reliability, refusal behavior, and safety across multiple modalities, including evaluations for dangerous capabilities and human-AI threat vectors. Inkling is available on Tinker for fine-tuning, with 64K and 256K context options, an Inkling Playground for testing, cookbook recipes, and support for multimodal post-training workflows. Its full weights are available on Hugging Face, and deployment support is available through APIs and infrastructure partners such as TogetherAI, Fireworks, Modal, Databricks, Baseten, SGLang, vLLM, llama.cpp, and transformers.

Gemini 3.5 Flash is Google’s next-generation frontier AI model engineered to combine advanced reasoning, multimodal intelligence, agentic automation, and high-speed performance for developers, enterprises, and everyday users. As the first publicly released model in the Gemini 3.5 family, the platform is designed to execute complex long-horizon workflows while delivering fast response speeds and strong performance across coding, reasoning, multimodal understanding, and AI-driven automation tasks. Gemini 3.5 Flash significantly advances Google’s agentic AI capabilities by enabling AI systems to plan, execute, iterate, and manage multi-step workflows such as software engineering, codebase maintenance, financial analysis, application development, infrastructure operations, and large-scale enterprise automation. Powered by the updated Antigravity harness, the model can coordinate collaborative subagents that work together to complete demanding workflows under supervision while maintaining high reliability and operational efficiency. Gemini 3.5 Flash also demonstrates advanced multimodal capabilities by generating dynamic graphics, interactive web interfaces, animations, and visually rich experiences that support developers and businesses building AI-powered applications and user experiences. The model achieves frontier-level performance across multiple coding, agentic, and multimodal benchmarks while operating at significantly faster output speeds compared to many competing frontier AI systems, helping reduce workflow latency and operational costs. Google has integrated Gemini 3.5 Flash across a broad ecosystem that includes the Gemini app, AI Mode in Google Search, Google AI Studio, Android Studio, Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform, and enterprise AI products to provide global access to advanced AI automation capabilities.
