Inkling 2 Small API on ModelFold
Inkling 2 Small is an open-weight multimodal mixture-of-experts reasoning model from Thinking Machines Lab, with 17B active out of 594B total parameters — the first model of the Inkling 2 generation. Try Inkling 2 Small in the ModelFold Playground, then call it from your own code through an OpenAI-compatible chat completions API.
What Is the Inkling 2 Small API
Inkling 2 Small at a glance
Inkling 2 Small is a chat model from Thinking Machines. It accepts text and images as input and returns text, with a context window of up to 1M tokens.
Use it without hosting anything
On ModelFold you call Inkling 2 Small with a single API key — no model weights to download and no inference servers to run. The same key also works for the other chat, image, video and audio models on ModelFold.
Core Capabilities of Inkling 2 Small
Up to 1M tokens of context
Keep long conversations, large documents and sizeable code in a single request, so the model can reason over the full material instead of fragments.
Understands images
Besides text, Inkling 2 Small accepts images as input, so a single request can combine instructions with visual or other media.
Function calling
Inkling 2 Small supports tool (function) calling: describe your functions in the request and the model returns structured calls your code can run — the basis for agents and integrations.
Adjustable reasoning effort
Choose a reasoning effort level (low, medium or high) per request to balance depth of thinking against speed and token usage.
Structured outputs
Ask for JSON that follows a schema (response_format), which makes extraction, classification and system integrations more reliable.
