What is Z-Image?

Z-Image represents a collective of open-source image generation foundation models developed by Alibaba's Tongyi-MAI team, which employs a Scalable Single-Stream Diffusion Transformer architecture to generate both realistic and artistic images from textual inputs, all while operating on a compact 6 billion parameters that enhance its efficiency relative to many larger counterparts, yet still deliver competitive quality and adaptability to user instructions. This family of models includes several specialized variants such as Z-Image-Turbo, a streamlined version that prioritizes quick inference and can produce results with as few as eight function evaluations, achieving sub-second generation times on suitable GPUs; Z-Image, the main foundation model crafted for producing high-fidelity creative outputs and supporting fine-tuning endeavors; Z-Image-Omni-Base, a versatile base checkpoint designed to encourage community-driven innovations; and Z-Image-Edit, which is specifically fine-tuned for image-to-image editing tasks while showcasing a strong compliance with user directives. Each variant within the Z-Image family is tailored to meet diverse user requirements, making them highly adaptable tools in the field of image generation. Collectively, they represent a significant advancement in the capabilities of generative models for various applications.

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.
