We want to improve Inkling’s agentic performance. To help us understand its real-world behavior, we are making it available for free on OpenRouter (only with agentic harnesses) for the next few weeks, starting now. We’ll use the data, disassociated from accounts, to better it.

Context
Thinking Machines' August 21, 2026 announcement offered temporary free access to Inkling models through OpenRouter to study their behavior inside agentic harnesses, software that coordinates model calls and tools. Usage data would help improve the models.
The free endpoint's terms make the exchange concrete: prompts and outputs are logged, then separated from account identifiers before being used to improve the company's systems. They also prohibit confidential information and personal data. The offer is therefore a research-use arrangement with data collection, which matters when choosing what work to send through it.
