fullmoon vs. Inkling

Fullmoon stands out as a groundbreaking, open-source app that empowers users to interact directly with large language models right on their personal devices, emphasizing user privacy and offline capabilities. Specifically optimized for Apple silicon, it operates efficiently across a range of platforms, including iOS, iPadOS, macOS, and visionOS, ensuring a cohesive user experience. Users can tailor their interactions by adjusting themes, fonts, and system prompts, and the app’s integration with Apple’s Shortcuts further boosts productivity. Importantly, Fullmoon supports models like Llama-3.2-1B-Instruct-4bit and Llama-3.2-3B-Instruct-4bit, facilitating robust AI engagements without the need for an internet connection. This unique combination of features positions Fullmoon as a highly adaptable tool for individuals seeking to leverage AI technology conveniently and securely. Additionally, the app's emphasis on customization allows users to create an environment that perfectly suits their preferences and needs.

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.
