Inkling

textthinkingmachines/inkling

Inkling is Thinking Machines' open-weights hybrid reasoning model, built on a mixture-of-experts architecture. It reasons by default, exposing its chain-of-thought as leading thinking content blocks, with reasoning effort tunable via a Tinker-specific output_config.effort parameter. Available through Tinker's beta Anthropic Messages-compatible endpoint alongside tool use, streaming, and multi-turn conversations. Currently intended for low-traffic testing and internal use rather than high-throughput production deployments; prompt caching, citations, and audio input are not supported through this endpoint.

Everyone pays the list price. Reaching Elite (hold or stake 1,337 $XAVA, or hold 1,337,000 $XINF) unlocks the Elite price and a bigger buyback of your token. How it works
