Very proud of this team 🫶 Let us know what you think!
Today, we are introducing Inkling. Inkling reasons efficiently across text, image, and audio modalities. We are making the full weights available. thinkingmachines.ai/news/int… Available today for fine-tuning on Tinker. Play with it in the Inkling Playground. 🧵

Inkling is out today, with open weights and in Tinker. It's been fun to watch this one come together: pretraining began last winter, and starting in mid-January a small team built up the coding, reasoning, and agentic training from there. We learned a lot building it, and I hope people find good uses for it.

Our first model, Inkling. Trained from scratch, weights are open, fine-tunable on Tinker today.

We started Thinking Machines a year and a half ago with a couple of instincts: that people should have much more ability to customize models and do research on them, and that even as AI becomes more autonomous, there's a lot more to build to make humans and AIs work well together. A lot has happened since then, especially the massive progress in agents, so we wanted to revisit those instincts in light of everything we've learned, argue about them, and write down what we actually believe now. This is where we landed after a lot of debate. I'm happy with it!
We're building AI that people and organizations can shape and make their own. AI should extend our will and judgment instead of neglecting it; enabling that is the technical challenge we are working to solve. thinkingmachines.ai/blog/the…

It’s been an honor to build alongside a team with such a clear, shared vision for an optimistic future. A future grounded in human agency, judgment, and collaboration.

In the past few months, we had a lot of fun (and stress 😅) to produce 12 versions (+ many subversions) and 137 pages in our training run log book. Turns out human-human collaboration is important to improving human-AI collaboration. 😊
People talk, listen, watch, think, and collaborate at the same time, in real time. We've designed an AI that works with people the same way. We share our approach, early results, and a quick look at our model in action. thinkingmachines.ai/blog/int…

Welcome @luke_drago_ and @LRudL_ to @thinkymachines. They started Workshop Labs determined to build AI that keeps the future human. They’ll continue that mission at Thinking Machines, where we create powerful AI systems that think alongside humans and extend our agency.  From Tinker to our research grants to the work we're doing to advance the frontier, everything we do is in service of the same mission -- AI that keeps our civilization empowered. Luke and Rudolf have been building toward the same thing. There's a path for AI to make humans matter more. Glad to have them working on it with us.
Cat’s out of the bag! Today @WorkshopLabs is joining @ThinkyMachines. We started Workshop Labs to build towards a world where people still matter, even as powerful AI advances. I want to talk a bit about why this is the best move to serve that mission.

Luke and Rudolf's writing on keeping humans central in an AI-powered world sparked a lot of discussion at Thinking Machines. For me, it captured some things I'd been thinking about but hadn't put as clearly. The more I got to know them and learned about their work, the more I wanted to work together. Really glad they're joining us.

At Factory, we don’t call our GTM employees “not technical”. The correct term is “not technical yet”

Feeling lucky? 🤞🍀 Take a guess for a shot at discounted access to Droid 🤖
List price for Factory Max Plan is $200. We have a discount price, but it's a secret that you must guess. If your guess is ≥ the discount price, you get the full Max Plan at that guess price. If your guess is too low, you're stuck at list price. Submit your guesses below.
