- Thinking Machines, a San Francisco-based AI startup, has introduced its new open-source AI model, Inkling.
- Inkling stands out by being open-source, allowing users to modify its systems to fit their specific needs, in contrast to proprietary models.
- This marks the first general-purpose model release from Thinking Machines, founded by former OpenAI CTO Mira Murati.
- The model features 975 billion parameters, positioning it among the largest in its category.
- The Western open-source AI ecosystem is notably behind its Chinese counterpart, especially after Meta’s shift to proprietary models following the unsuccessful release of its Llama 4.
- Companies, like hedge fund Bridgewater Associates, are pivoting toward Chinese models due to their competitive performance and cost-effectiveness.
