What is Inkling 2 Small?

Inkling 2 Small is an advanced multimodal large language model developed by Thinking Machines Lab to support autonomous coding, complex reasoning, visual understanding, and customizable AI applications. The model uses a sparse mixture-of-experts transformer architecture containing 594 billion total parameters and 17 billion active parameters, with 48 decoder layers and 384 specialized experts. Its architecture combines local and global attention mechanisms with a vision transformer that processes images alongside text within a shared representation. Inkling 2 Small supports a context window of up to one million tokens, making it suitable for analyzing extensive documents, large software repositories, and long-running agent workflows. Configurable reasoning effort enables users to adjust the computational resources devoted to individual tasks based on their complexity and performance requirements. Its agentic software engineering capabilities include generating code, debugging applications, implementing features, verifying changes, and operating development tools across extended workflows. The model can also create interactive websites, games, three-dimensional simulations, and visual applications while using image-based feedback to evaluate and improve its results. Advanced research capabilities allow autonomous agents to conduct machine learning experiments, optimize GPU kernels, evaluate training strategies, and iteratively refine technical solutions. Thinking Machines Lab trained the model using 8.4 trillion pretraining tokens and a large reinforcement learning process involving more than 17 million rollouts across coding, scientific reasoning, visual tasks, knowledge work, and tool use. Published evaluation results include 25.4% on FrontierCode 2.0, 72.1% on DeepSWE 1.1, 86.3% on SWE-Bench Pro v2 Hard, and an Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index score of 31.
