Nex-N2-Pro vs. Inkling

The Nex-N2-Pro represents a groundbreaking open-source agentic model aimed at improving productivity in practical applications by converting reasoning into tasks that are actionable, verifiable, and repeatable. Rather than treating reasoning, tool usage, and environmental execution as separate entities, Nex-N2 combines these components into a unified framework that facilitates a harmonious process involving requirement understanding, task structuring, code execution, environmental feedback, evaluation, debugging, and continuous improvement. By employing a holistic thinking strategy, it effectively integrates searching, programming, and the utilization of agentic tools, following a consistent methodology of goal decomposition, state tracking, strategy modification, and self-evaluation, which is especially beneficial in complex workflows that incorporate both coding and tool usage. The model's Adaptive Thinking feature empowers it to autonomously assess when to engage in more profound cognitive efforts, allowing for efficient execution of simple tasks while allocating additional time to pivotal decisions, thereby optimizing resource management and enhancing overall productivity. This comprehensive model is adept at addressing a wide array of tasks within ever-changing environments, illustrating its versatility and effectiveness in real-world applications. As a result, Nex-N2-Pro stands out as a valuable asset for professionals seeking to streamline their workflows and achieve better outcomes.

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.
