Scale Labs(@ScaleAILabs):Congrats to @thinkymachines on the release of Inkling-small! A smaller variant of Inkling, now live on our AudioMultiChallenge and MCP Atlas leaderboards. Inkling-small is tied for🥇on AudioMultiChallenge, scoring about the same as the larger Inkling despite the size difference. Strong multi-turn audio performance has typically come from the biggest models, so this is a promising signal for teams building voice applications where latency and cost matter. Also notable, on MCP Atlas it ranks second among open models on tool calling, behind Kimi K3 and ahead of GLM 5.2. Holding up on both audio reasoning and tool use at this size is a strong showing.
