● just droppedIt just dropped. The radar detected Inkling 2 Small in a live catalog and fired the launch alert at 00:31 UTC on November 6, 2026. Prices, context and availability land on this page once they are verified.
What we know so far: launched Nov 5 on Thinking Machines' Tinker only (its post 'Introducing Inkling 2 Small'): Tinker Playground, plus fine-tuning and sampling on Tinker, with closed weights for now; Thinking Machines says full weights follow next week under Apache 2.0, after external safety testing and red-teaming; 594B total / 17B active MoE, image input, variable effort; Thinking Machines says it scores 31 on the Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index; its own table: FrontierCode v2.0 25.4%, DeepSWE v1.1 72.1%, SWEBench Pro v2 (Hard) 86.3%; early checkpoints ran on OpenCode as Fledge-Alpha (owner statement in the launch post), which closes the fledge-alpha stealth slot onto this row; no inkling-2 id in OpenRouter or models.dev at 00:30 UTC Nov 6; armed so the first catalog listing fires (Tinker's own models.dev provider already lists Inkling and Inkling-Small). Swept every 60 seconds across provider catalogs. The moment it answers on a public API, alerts fire: a text or a call on paid plans the second it's confirmed, then a free Chrome push and email about 15 minutes later.
