Inkling 2 Small Debuts Free with Visual Agentic Coding

Thinky Machines' Inkling 2 Small model is now available for free for a limited time on OpenRouter and OpenCode, combining visual understanding with agentic coding capabilities. The model can iteratively refine websites, games, and 3D designs based on visual feedback, and integrates directly with agent frameworks like Claude Code, Codex, and Hermes Agent.

Technically, Inkling 2 Small uses a 594B-parameter MoE architecture with 17B active parameters per inference, supporting a 1 million token context and multimodal inputs. However, availability is limited to certain regions, and the free access is temporary.

This launch offers developers a low-cost opportunity to experiment with visually-driven agentic coding, potentially accelerating the shift from text-only to multimodal AI programming tools and intensifying competition in the agent framework ecosystem.
