Inkling by Thinking Machines is here, a 1 TRILLION parameter open model that natively understands images, text, AND audio, with a 1M token context window. In this video, we break down the architecture, show you how to run it, and share our vibe-eval results.
Now on Hugging Face 🤗 https://huggingface.co/thinkingmachines/Inkling
⚡ TL;DR
• 975B total / 41B active params (MoE, 256 experts)
• Native image, text & audio input — one model, no separate encoders
• 1M context window, trained on 45T tokens
• BF16 + calibrated NVFP4 checkpoints, MTP layers for speculative decoding
• Day-0 support: transformers, SGLang, vLLM, llama.cpp
⏱️ CHAPTERS

• GGUF quants: https://huggingface.co/unsloth/inkling-GGUF
• Inference Providers (free for 2h at launch): https://huggingface.co/thinkingmachines/inkling?inference_api=true
• Quick start: pip install -U transformers, then pipeline("any-to-any", model="thinkingmachines/Inkling")

• RL example (tinker + OpenEnv): https://github.com/huggingface/OpenEnv
• Distillation with TRL (GOLD): https://github.com/huggingface/trl
💡 KEY TAKEAWAYS
• Needs ~2TB VRAM in BF16 (600GB in NVFP4) — but 1-bit GGUFs retain ~74% top-1 accuracy at 86% smaller
• Reasoning effort is tunable from "none" to "max"; medium (0.7) is the sweet spot
• The model transcribes/OCRs inputs first, then reasons — prompt accordingly
• Great for multimodal reasoning apps, document processing, and fine-tuning

Multi-agent systems promise autonomous workflows, specialized agents, and major productivity gains—but production reality is more complicated.
In this ODSC AI East 2026 session, Sinan Ozdemir, Founder of Crucible and AI & LLM Advisor at Tola Capital, explores the case for and against harnessing multi-agent systems. Drawing on enterprise deployments, his book Building Agentic AI, and real-world lessons from agent failures, Sinan breaks down why autonomy alone is not enough.
The session examines how teams can balance agent freedom with architectural constraints, evaluation loops, cost controls, human-in-the-loop gates, and progressive autonomy. Watch to learn how to decide how much “harness” your agents need and how to build multi-agent systems that deliver value without becoming systems you have to babysit.
