Thinking Machines releases Inkling 2 Small: 68-hour pretrain, leads web dev evals over Muse Spark Open

[AINews] Inkling 2 Small: 17A-594B trained in 68 hours on 12T tokens, beating Muse Spark

Thinking Machines released Inkling 2 Small, a multimodal MoE with 594B total parameters and 17B active. It is available on Tinker for fine-tuning and inference.

Why it matters: Inkling 2 Small's higher AI benchmark scores come with heavier output token use, but its low unit price keeps per-task cost below the comparison model.
