Thinking Machines Lab released Inkling, a large open multimodal model with ~1T parameters and 1M context window, natively accepting image, text, and audio inputs. It also released Inkling-Small with 276B total and 12B active parameters, and Inkling-Small-NVFP4 variant. The models are available on Hugging Face with day-0 support in transformers, SGLang, vLLM, and llama.cpp.

## Evidence

Verbatim from https://huggingface.co/blog/thinkingmachines-inkling:

> Inkling is a large (1T params!) open model to natively accept image, text, and audio inputs. ... Inkling is the first large open model with ~1T parameters and 1M context window to natively receive image, text, and audio inputs, trained on 45 trillion tokens of text, images, audio and video. ... Thinking Machine Labs also released Inkling-Small with 276B total and 12B active parameters, as well as support for MXFP8 and NVFP4 weights, with the same architecture as Inkling.
