Thinky launched Inkling, its first full large language model with 975B total and 41B activated parameters, supporting multimodal input. They also released the smaller Inkling-Small (276B-A12B). Both use the Apache 2.0 license, permitting commercial use without copyleft restrictions. Inkling is dubbed "America's best Apache 2.0 open-source model" and released as open weights. For developers using open-source models, AI research teams, and enterprises needing commercial licenses, Inkling offers top-tier performance with permissive licensing, allowing free use in commercial products, fine-tuning, or deployment without license compliance concerns.
