Description
SummaryInkling is a general-purpose multimodal autoregressive transformer model from Thinking Machines Lab, supporting text, image, and audio inputs with text output. It is designed for a wide range of applications, including reasoning, coding, multilingual understanding, and multimodal interaction. Optimized for agentic workflows, tool use, coding assistants, chatbots, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), and instruction following, Inkling provides a versatile foundation for production AI systems requiring robust language and multimodal capabilities.GLM-5.3 is Z.ai's large-scale reasoning model designed for complex software engineering and long-horizon agentic workflows. It supports text input and output with a 1M-token context window, enabling sustained reasoning across large codebases and extended multi-step tasks. Building on GLM-5.2, it delivers stronger coding performance while improving the balance between capability and token efficiency, making it well suited for autonomous coding agents, large-scale engineering workflows, and complex task execution.
