Base model: thinkingmachines/Inkling
Inkling, self-quantized to GGUF by Atomic Chat. Built straight from Thinking Machines Lab's original weights with a per-tensor importance matrix, so this is not a repack of somebody else's files. Runs fully offline.
Highlights
- 952.4B parameters: the weights this repo quantizes.
- 66 layers: Mixture-of-Experts.
- Modalities: the base model handles Text, Image, Audio; this repo ships text-only quants, it carries no vision projector.
- Full imatrix ladder: every quant is calibrated with an importance matrix, published here alongside the quants.
[!NOTE]
These GGUFs are self-quantized from the original weights, not a repack. The importance matrix keeps low-bit quants closer to the full-precision model.
[!IMPORTANT]
Always pass --jinja so the Inkling chat template is applied. Without it the model can emit malformed turns.
Model Overview
| Property | Value |
|---|---|
| Base model | thinkingmachines/Inkling |
| Parameters | 952.4B |
| Layers | 66 |
| Experts | 256 routed (top-6) |
| Context length | not stated |
| Vocabulary | 201,024 |
| Modalities | Text, Image, Audio in the base model; text only in this repo, it ships no vision projector |
| Architecture | Mixture-of-Experts, 256 experts (top-6), 64 attention heads over 8 KV heads, InklingForConditionalGeneration |
| This repo | GGUF quants (imatrix); the importance matrix is published here as imatrix/imatrix-code-at_128.gguf |
Scores are Thinking Machines Lab's published results for the base thinkingmachines/Inkling, not our own measurements. Quantization preserves the large majority of this; Q4_K_M and up stay close to full precision.
Get started
Run Inkling locally with:
- Atomic Chat: the easiest path. Open the app, search
AtomicChat/Inkling-GGUF, pick a quant, hit Use this model. - llama.cpp:
llama-server -hf AtomicChat/Inkling-GGUF:None --jinja -c 8192 - Ollama:
ollama run hf.co/AtomicChat/Inkling-GGUF:None - LM Studio / Jan: search the repo id, download any quant.

Run in llama.cpp
git clone https://github.com/ggml-org/llama.cpp
cmake llama.cpp -B llama.cpp/build -DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS=OFF -DGGML_CUDA=ON
cmake --build llama.cpp/build --config Release -j --target llama-cli llama-server
./llama.cpp/build/bin/llama-server \

--jinja -ngl 99 -c 8192 -fa on
How these were made
1. Download thinkingmachines/Inkling (original weights).
2. Convert to f16 GGUF with llama.cpp.
3. Build an importance matrix over our calibration corpus, published here as imatrix/imatrix-code-at_128.gguf.
4. Quantize the ladder with --imatrix.
