Thinking Machines Lab Finally Deigns to Show Its Work
Inkling is a 975-billion-parameter model that processes video and audio, not merely text. It is open source. Thinking Machines Lab, founded by former OpenAI chief scientist Ilya Sutskever, released it as its first public model.
Multimodal training is the frontier. You should stop treating AI as a text-only tool. Start building workflows that feed it video, audio, and other sensory inputs.
Thinking Machines Lab, founded by Ilya Sutskever after his departure from OpenAI. The lab aims to compete with Anthropic and OpenAI in the foundation model space.
Step 1: Record a 30-second video of yourself explaining a concept. Step 2: Upload it to a multimodal consumer AI such as GPT-4o or Gemini. Ask it to summarize your argument and identify your main point. Step 3: Compare its summary to your intended message. Note where the model succeeds or fails at cross-modal reasoning.
