from Thinking Machines is now available on AI Gateway.Inkling Small Inkling Small reaches performance comparable to the larger Inkling model at about a quarter of the size, using much less compute per task. It is a broad generalist with native reasoning over audio and images, and it holds up well on reasoning, agentic coding, and tool use. Controllable thinking effort lets you trade quality against cost and latency, from minimal to maximum reasoning. For visual tasks, it can crop, zoom, and inspect images programmatically, which helps on documents and charts where the relevant detail is small.

To use Inkling, set to in the :modelthinkingmachines/inkling-smallAI SDK Inkling-Small is compatible with . Turn it on team-wide from the dashboard, or per request with , and AI Gateway routes only to providers that delete prompts and responses after each request.Zero Data RetentionzeroDataRetention: true Inkling-Small is also a cost-efficient choice for coding and tool-use workflows.
