## AI overview

Thinking Machines Lab's Inkling is presented as a large open multimodal language model that accepts image, text, and audio inputs. The article covers its mixture-of-experts architecture, million-token context window, reasoning across modalities, fine-tuning use cases, model variants, and deployment through Hugging Face Inference Endpoints and inference frameworks.
