Mira Murati's Thinking Machines Lab launched Inkling, a multimodal AI model with open weights, trained from scratch. The model, with 975 billion parameters, accepts text, images, and audio, and is positioned as a capable Western alternative for developers cautious of Chinese models.
Thinking Machines Labs, von ehemaliger OpenAI-CTO Mira Murati gegründet, präsentiert ein KI-Interaction-Modell, das in Echtzeit auf Sprache reagiert, mit Antwortzeiten von etwa 0,4 Sekunden, ermöglicht echte Dialoge, Unterbrechungen und simultane Übersetzungen.
Weiyao Wang, an 8-year Meta veteran who helped build multimodal perception systems and contributed to SAM3D, has joined Thinking Machines Lab. TML recently signed a multibillion-dollar cloud deal with Google at Cloud Next, gaining access to Nvidia's GB300 chips and joining Anthropic and Meta in infrastructure tier. The move follows Meta reportedly acquiring Thinking Machines around this time last year and poaching seven of TML's founding members, while TML has been hiring more researchers from Meta than any other employer.
Weiyao Wang, an eight-year Meta veteran who worked on multimodal perception systems and SAM3D, has joined Thinking Machines Lab following his final day at Meta last week. The $12B AI startup recently signed a multibillion-dollar cloud deal with Google for Nvidia's GB300 chips, placing it in the same infrastructure tier as Anthropic and Meta. The move comes as talent flows bidirectionally — Meta has poached seven of TML's founding members, while TML has hired more researchers from Meta than any other employer, including CTO Soumith Chintala (co-founder of PyTorch) and Piotr Dollár (co-author of Segment Anything).
