Inkling by Thinking Machines Lab: Inside the New 975B-Parameter Open-Weights Multimodal Model

Thinking Machines Lab has released Inkling, a 975B-parameter Mixture-of-Experts model with 41B active parameters, native multimodality, and controllable reasoning effort — fully open-weighted and fine-tunable on Tinker. Here's a data-backed breakdown of its architecture, benchmarks, and what makes it different from other open-weights releases.

Anthropic Just Found a 'Workspace' Inside Claude's Mind — Here's What It Means

Anthropic Just Found a 'Workspace' Inside Claude's Mind — Here's What It Means

Anthropic's new interpretability research uncovers a small internal region in Claude — the 'J-space' — that behaves strikingly like the brain's global workspace. Here's what it is, how it was found, and why it matters for AI safety and consciousness research.

Stop Prompting AI. Start Building Loops. Why Boris Cherny Thinks the Future Is AI Orchestrating AI

Stop Prompting AI. Start Building Loops. Why Boris Cherny Thinks the Future Is AI Orchestrating AI

If you run a FinTech, HealthTech, or B2B SaaS company, the AI question is not "what is the best prompt?" — it is whether your systems can plan, execute, verify, and recover autonomously. Boris Cherny (Claude Code, Anthropic) builds loops, not one-shot prompts. Here is what that means for production AI.

Why independent verification is becoming the missing layer for physical AI

Why independent verification is becoming the missing layer for physical AI

As physical AI moves from demos to deployed systems, verification is becoming the hidden dependency most teams still don’t have. This post explains why independent benchmarking matters now.
