No estimate
No hardware requirements for this model
The weights for this model have not been published, so it cannot be downloaded or run on your own hardware at any size. It is reachable only through its provider, and no graphics card changes that.

What the numbers mean
Background
Inkling-Small was published by Thinking Machines, in United States of America, in July 2026. The organisation is categorised as industry.
It works in Language, Multimodal, Audio, Video, Vision, and is recorded as doing language modeling/generation, Chat.
Because the weights are not available, none of the hardware figures elsewhere on this site apply to it.
Answers
Inkling-Small — common questions
Is Inkling-Small open source?
No. Inkling-Small has not had its weights published, so it exists only as a service controlled by its owner.
How many parameters does Inkling-Small have?
Inkling-Small has 276B parameters. 12B active. That figure is the total, and it is what decides how much memory the model needs — roughly half a gigabyte per billion at the compression most people use.
Who created Inkling-Small?
Inkling-Small was published by Thinking Machines, based in United States of America, categorised as industry.
When was Inkling-Small released?
Inkling-Small was published in July 2026.
What is Inkling-Small used for?
Inkling-Small works in Language, Multimodal, Audio, Video, Vision, and is recorded as handling language modeling/generation, Chat. These are the areas it was designed around; they describe intent rather than a hard boundary.
What GPU do I need to run Inkling-Small?
None. Inkling-Small is a closed model — its weights were never published, so it cannot be downloaded or run on your own hardware at any price. It is reachable only through its provider.
The other direction
Looking at it from the other side?
This page starts from the model. If you already own a card and want to know everything it will run, start from the hardware instead.
