What Thinking Machines: Inkling 2 Small can do.
Reasoning
Extended reasoning
Works through problems step by step before answering, trading latency for accuracy on harder tasks.
Adjustable effort
Choose how much the model deliberates per request — trade speed for depth as the task demands.
Multimodal
Image understanding
Reads and reasons over images alongside text in the same prompt.
Development
Tool calling
Calls external functions mid-response, then continues reasoning from the result.
Structured output
Returns responses constrained to a JSON schema, ready to parse without cleanup.
Streaming
Streams tokens as they're generated instead of waiting on the full response.
Performance
Pay for what you use.
Every model in UltraGPT runs behind one flat subscription — this is the underlying per-token cost the catalog tracks.
