Thinking Machines Lab, an AI startup led by former OpenAI executive Mira Murati (미라 무라티), has unveiled its first in-house AI model, Inkling. The open-weight model can be downloaded and modified by outside developers and companies. The company said Inkling is a 975 billion-parameter mixture-of-experts model trained on 45 trillion tokens across text, images, audio and video. It is positioning Inkling as a starting point for enterprise customisation via its Tinker platform.

A web service called In The Weights has been launched to compare how strongly different generative AI models have learned specific people’s names. It assigns a “strength score” by asking each model who a person is and aggregating up to 10 candidate results with brief descriptions and confidence levels. Examples showed Elon Musk at 992 and Apple CEO Tim Cook at 986. The service also flags possible hallucinations and misidentifications.
