Inkling

sdn-inklingFrontierLive in the catalog

The debut model from Thinking Machines Lab: a frontier multimodal reasoner that reads images and audio alongside text, with a million-token window. A distinctive pick when the input isn't just text — long transcripts, recordings, screenshots — and the task still needs real depth.

01Multimodal: text, images, and audio input
02Frontier reasoning with a 1M-token window
03Built for mixed-media agent work

Capabilities

Tool callingYes

Strict, schema-faithful tool calls, enforced by the engine on every request — safe to build an agent loop on.

ReasoningYes

Thinks before it answers. Budget max_tokens generously — hidden reasoning counts against it.

VisionYes

Reads images — screenshots, diagrams, and UI states — inline in the conversation.

Behind the endpoint[02/03]

One endpoint. Served by our engine.

Inkling is served through the Sideren engine — zero-downtime serving is the design target, not a status-page apology. You request it by name; everything else is our problem.

Call it by name

curl https://api.sideren.io/v1/messages \
  -H "x-api-key: sdn_your_key" \
  -H "content-type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "model": "sdn-inkling",
    "max_tokens": 1024,
    "messages": [{ "role": "user", "content": "Hello" }]
  }'

OpenAI-style clients work too — send the same model name to /v1/chat/completions with a Bearer key. See the docs for both dialects.
