The first model from Thinking Machines is a 975B-A41B multimodal MoE that supports text, images, and audio as inputs and produces text as output. While it is not the strongest model among peers (in China) in its size class, it is positioned to be a great base for fine-tuning, e.g., through their commercial offering, Tinker. They also release a smaller version (276B-A12B), which is really competitive for its size.
Relative Adoption Metric contextualizes downloads against the model's size bucket.
OpenRouter publishes daily token totals for its ~50 most-served models. Days missing from the chart mean Inkling fell below that cutoff — not zero usage. OpenRouter logs usage separately per dated model version and per variant (like ":free"); the hub combines provider variants while keeping separately cataloged releases distinct.
