we spent a ton of time understanding what makes models customizable, and built Inkling 2 Small to have the right properties.

For a fixed data and $ budget, this model will get you very good results (relatively) versus other options.

Probably one of the only model programs in the industry with a launch blocking eval around customizability.

Go @tinkerapi !

This the most interesting part of the release to me. Inkling-Small was pretty difficult to post-train out the box compared to Chinese models like Qwen. 1/ Good to know it wasn't a skill issue on my part 2/ Looks like they specifically tried to address this issue in Inkling 2 training! I wonder what tricks went into training the model to be more "customizable".
