Inkling accepts text input in UTF-8 encoding, image input in any pixel-based format (optimally between 40px and 4096px per dimension), and audio input in WAV format sampled at 16kHz (optimally under 20 minutes in length).
The model generates its output exclusively as UTF-8 encoded text, regardless of the input modality.
Inkling is released with open weights, enabling researchers and developers to use it for research, fine-tuning, and integration into their own third-party products.
The model is intended for use in English and other languages, possessing general multilingual capabilities, and supports multiple coding languages.
Inkling utilizes a 66-layer decoder-only transformer architecture with a sparse Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) feed-forward backbone, where each token is routed to 6 of 256 experts, plus 2 shared experts active on every token.
Inkling supports local deployment using several open-source libraries, including SGLang, vLLM, TokenSpeed, Unsloth, and Huggingface's own libraries, with provided recipes for integration.
Beyond local deployment, Inkling is also accessible via API through various third-party inference providers.
Detailed Pricing Info
- Multimodal capabilities allow processing of text, image, and audio inputs, making it versatile for diverse applications.
- Released with open weights, fostering research, fine-tuning, and integration into custom applications by downstream developers.
- Supports a wide range of applications including agentic systems, coding assistants, chatbots, and RAG, suitable for general conversational use and instruction-following.
- Offers broad language support, including English and general multilingual capabilities, alongside support for multiple coding languages.
- Supports local deployment with popular open-source libraries like SGLang, vLLM, TokenSpeed, Unsloth, and Huggingface, providing flexibility for developers.
- Optimal performance for image inputs requires specific dimensions (40px to 4096px), which might necessitate pre-processing for out-of-range images.
- Optimal performance for audio inputs is achieved with lengths under 20 minutes, potentially limiting its effectiveness for longer audio processing tasks without segmentation.
- While strong, Inkling's performance benchmarks indicate it does not consistently outperform all frontier models (both open and closed weights) in every evaluated category, such as Reasoning HLE, SWEBench Pro, and Factuality tasks like AA Omniscience.
- Safety evaluations identified potential risks, and mitigations were applied before release, suggesting inherent challenges in ensuring safe behavior across multimodal inputs and complex interactions.
