What is Microsoft Foundry Models?

Microsoft Foundry Models provides enterprises with one of the world’s largest AI model catalogs, combining more than 11,000 foundational, multimodal, and specialized models from industry-leading providers. It enables developers to explore models by task, performance benchmarks, or provider, and instantly experiment using a built-in interactive playground. The platform includes top models from OpenAI, Anthropic, Mistral AI, Cohere, Meta, DeepSeek, xAI, NVIDIA, HuggingFace, and many others, giving organizations unparalleled choice for their AI solutions. With ready-to-use fine-tuning pipelines, teams can adapt models to proprietary data without managing infrastructure or training environments. Foundry Models also includes evaluation capabilities that let teams test models against internal datasets to validate accuracy, stability, and business alignment. Once selected, models can be deployed through serverless pay-as-you-go or managed compute options, both designed for rapid scaling and production reliability. Integrated security controls—including encryption, access policies, and compliance frameworks—ensure models and data remain protected throughout the lifecycle. Azure’s governance dashboards provide monitoring for cost, usage, and performance, helping organizations maintain efficiency at scale. Developers can plug Foundry Models into existing applications, agent workflows, and Microsoft Foundry tools to create AI systems quickly and securely. By unifying discovery, experimentation, fine-tuning, deployment, and governance, Foundry Models accelerates enterprise AI adoption while reducing development complexity.

What is Inkling?

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.
