Inkling

Thinking Machines · 952B · open weights

Strongest in Jailbreak resistance (#2 of 272), weakest in Coding (#128 of 165). Above par in 21 of 35 scopes. Among the models it meets almost everywhere, it finishes behind Claude Fable 5 and Claude Fable 5.1 and ahead of DeepSeek V4 Flash and GPT-6 Luna.

§ 1 · Profile

What it is good at

Bars run from 50 — the average of the models each source lists — so right of the line is above par. The middle column is the gap to whoever leads that scope.

Badge

PublicAI Index badge for Inkling[![PublicAI Index](https://publicai.io/model-index/badge?model=inkling)](https://publicai.io/model-index/m/inkling)

✱ Placed by a one-off publication, not a board that re-ran the model. ✱✱ marks a figure the model’s own publisher printed, which counts for less again. Scores are 0–100 on the PublicAI Index scale, 50 = the average of the models each source lists. Scores belong to their publishers.
