Inkling 2 Small: Hosted on Tinker Now, Open Weights Next Week
Thinking Machines Lab's Inkling 2 Small, a 594B-parameter MoE model with 17B active per token, is available today via Tinker's hosted API with closed weights. The company plans to release the full weights under an Apache 2.0 license next week after safety evaluations. The model supports text and image inputs (no audio), offers 64K and 256K context variants, and its per-token pricing on Tinker is operation-specific: prefill costs $0.30 per million tokens ($0.03 cached), sampling costs $1.00, and training costs $1.50 for the 64K context version. This article clarifies the current deployment routes, exact context limits, input modalities, and cost structure to help developers choose between immediate hosted access and future self-hosting.
