Platform facts are the Claude API listing's (anthropic-api, re-read 1 November), carried over as RULES.md allows for a model on an already graded platform. Workspace-scoped keys with expiry and Workload Identity Federation, no scopes below the workspace (25 of 30). No training on API data without express permission (20). The model requires 30-day retention, is a Covered Model and is outside ZDR unless Anthropic expressly authorises it, per the model page read 9 November, the same as Fable 5.1 (12 of 15). Usage and cost analytics, Compliance API and OpenTelemetry export (15). security.txt, HackerOne and SOC 2, ISO 27001 and ISO 42001 (20). Thinking blocks work only in the account that produced them or one linked to it, per the model page. 25 + 20 + 12 + 15 + 20 = 92.\n- Inkling 2 Small (57): Platform readings are the tinker listing's. Revocable API keys from the console, with no per-key scopes found (20). Org, team and project permissions with no read-only role (5). The model returns its own completions, no third-party content (10). get_audit_log() for admins (15). security.txt with a reporting address and no stated acknowledgement time (7). For the model reading, Tinker's terms commit not to use Customer Content for training, recorded under transparency. 20 + 5 + 10 + 15 + 7 = 57.\n\n### Agent ergonomics: Claude Mythos 5.2 +33\n\n- Claude Mythos 5.2 (95): Model reading for claude-mythos-5-2 on the Claude API. Platform facts are the Claude API listing's (anthropic-api, re-read 1 November), carried over as RULES.md allows for a model on an already graded platform. Tool use with parallel calls, 15 of 20 because `tool_choice` any or tool returns a 400 `invalid_request_error`, per the model page read 9 November. Structured outputs (15). Prompt caching with reads at $0.20, 0.025x input, per the pricing page read 9 November (15). 1M context by default and at most, 128K output (15). Batch at half price (10). Official SDKs in seven languages (10). Documented errors, `retry-after` and retries (15). 15 + 15 + 15 + 15 + 10 + 10 + 15 = 95.\n- Inkling 2 Small (62): Model reading (tool use, structured output, caching, context, batch, SDKs). A 256K served context, max_tokens and a priced cache at $0.03 per million; tool use isn't documented for this model (15 of 25). Output-size controls through max_tokens, reasoning_effort and separate_reasoning (15 of 20). One documented error, the 400 for unsupported reasoning_effort (5 of 20). Stable request IDs make SDK sampling retries safe, per the tinker listing (15 of 20). OpenAI's SDKs work against the endpoint, with Tinker's Python SDK besides, and reasoning defaults to 0.9 (12 of 15). 15 + 15 + 5 + 15 + 12 = 62.\n\n### Reliability: Claude Mythos 5.2 +30\n\n- Claude Mythos 5.2 (60): Model reading for claude-mythos-5-2 on the Claude API. Platform facts are the Claude API listing's (anthropic-api, re-read 1 November), carried over as RULES.md allows for a model on an already graded platform. Status page at status.claude.com with component history (20). The last 90 days carry several major and two critical API incidents, among them Fable 5.1 and Mythos 5.1 on 3 September and Fable 5.1 on 23 and 25 October, so 0 for incident history. Rate limits published per model, Fable 5.x at 4,000 requests a minute at the Start tier (15). 429s with `retry-after` and SDK retries with backoff (15). No SLA on sale (0). The model page lists it as a current model with no preview label (10). 20 + 0 + 15 + 15 + 0 + 10 = 60. Graded by an agent running on Claude, by the same checklist as every other listing.\n- Inkling 2 Small (30): Model reading, for the surface it's called on, Tinker's serverless inference and OpenAI-compatible API. No status page found, per the tinker listing's checks of 1 October and 4 November (0), so no readable incident history (5). The only published limit is the in-flight sample cap of 2,000, per the tinker listing's 1 October check; the OpenAI-compatible page gives no numbers and says higher or more stable throughput needs the waitlist (10). The SDK retries sampling with stable request IDs, per the tinker listing's reading of the SDK repository; the OpenAI-compatible page has no retry guidance (15). No SLA found (0). Serverless inference is 'currently in beta' on the models and pricing page and the OpenAI-compatible API is labelled Beta, read 6 November (0). 0 + 5 + 10 + 15 + 0 + 0 = 30.\n\n### Transparency \u0026 trust: Claude Mythos 5.2 +21\n\n- Claude Mythos 5.2 (85): Model reading for claude-mythos-5-2 on the Claude API. Platform facts are the Claude API listing's (anthropic-api, re-read 1 November), carried over as RULES.md allows for a model on an already graded platform. Commercial Terms with named contracting parties and Apache 2.0 SDKs (15). Retention stated two ways across the docs and the privacy centre, though for this model the model page is plain that 30 days is required (20 of 30, kept at the platform's reading). Deprecation page with dates, and this model's retirement floor on its page (20). Processing countries and subprocessors named (20). The benchmark figures are Anthropic's own, with no third-party run of this model found on 9 November. 15 + 20 + 20 + 20 = 75.\n- Inkling 2 Small (64): Editorial half. Closed for now under the Tinker Terms of Use and the Model Acceptable Use Policy, per the model card, with Apache 2.0 weights promised the week after launch (15). Terms commit not to use Customer Content for training, keep it only as needed, with a DPA and deletion on request; the privacy notice wasn't re-read, per the tinker listing (15). Dated deprecation notices with no stated period (15). The DPA annex names Google Cloud, Cloudflare, WorkOS and OpenAI with service and location (15). 15 + 15 + 15 + 15 = 60.\n\n### Schema \u0026 documentation: Claude Mythos 5.2 +20\n\n- Claude Mythos 5.2 (90): Model reading for claude-mythos-5-2 on the Claude API. Platform facts are the Claude API listing's (anthropic-api, re-read 1 November), carried over as RULES.md allows for a model on an already graded platform. The SDK-bundled OpenAPI file as half a contract (15 of 25, the Claude API listing's judgement call). llms.txt with Markdown twins (10). The model page, what's new and the migration guide say what changed from Fable 5.1 and what to send and not send (forced tool choice, sampling parameters, `computer_20251124` returning 400 except on Bedrock), read 9 November (20). Structured outputs and strict tools GA (15). Documented error types with `request_id` (15). `anthropic-version` and dated release notes (15). 15 + 10 + 20 + 15 + 15 + 15 = 90.\n- Inkling 2 Small (70): Model reading. No OpenAPI file of its own; the OpenAI-compatible chat and completions endpoints and the typed Python SDK are the contract, as the tinker listing reads it (15). llms.txt on the docs host, per the tinker listing's 1 October check (10). The model card states intended use (agentic and tool-use systems, coding assistants, chatbots, RAG), inputs, outputs and limitations, and the launch post its benchmarks (16 of 20). Model IDs, context lengths and the reasoning_effort values (none to xhigh, or 0.0 to 0.99) are documented; the tool-call format and structured output aren't, for this model (8 of 15). A Python example and an HTTP 400 for models without reasoning_effort, with no error page (6 of 15). A dated Tinker changelog and a model deprecations page, per the tinker listing (15). 15 + 10 + 16 + 8 + 6 + 15 = 70.\n\n### Maintenance \u0026 community: Claude Mythos 5.2 +16\n\n- Claude Mythos 5.2 (91): Model reading for claude-mythos-5-2 on the Claude API.

Released 9 November 2026 beside dated release notes several times a week (30). 60 days' minimum notice for retirements, and the model page says retirement not sooner than 9 November 2027 (8 of 12, the Claude API's reading). Model shutdowns kept to notice (8). Support centre and dated notes (15). The sampled SDK issue without a reply, per the 1 October check (5 of 10). Current SDKs (15). Runtimes stated (10). 30 + 8 + 8 + 15 + 5 + 15 + 10 = 91.\n- Inkling 2 Small (75): Model reading. Released 5 November 2026 (30). Churn and notice in place of release counts: Inkling, Inkling-Small (30 July) and Inkling 2 Small in about four months, and a deprecations page with dated retirements and a promise to 'aim to give advance notice' by email, with no stated period, per the tinker listing (10 of 20). A public changelog and a support address and Discord, per the tinker listing (10 of 15). Current official SDKs, Tinker's Python SDK and the OpenAI-compatible endpoint (15).

Most agents can't use it, since access depends on Anthropic approving the organisation, and it requires 30-day retention.\n\n**Inkling 2 Small.** A new multimodal mixture-of-experts model from Thinking Machines, callable today through Tinker's OpenAI-compatible endpoint at $0.30 and $1.00 per million tokens, with strong vendor-reported coding and agent scores. Tinker's serverless inference is beta, with no status page or SLA, and the weights aren't public yet.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### Claude Mythos 5.2\n\n1. Confirm your organisation is verified before routing work here; otherwise use claude-fable-5-2\n2. Call https://api.anthropic.com/v1/messages with model claude-mythos-5-2 and your key\n3. Steer thinking with the effort parameter (default high); don't send temperature, top_p or top_k\n4. Don't force a tool with tool_choice any or tool; describe the tool and let the model choose\n5. Thinking blocks from it are read only by Fable 5.2 and Mythos 5.2, so keep them out of other models' context\n6. Check data retention before sending regulated data, since 30 days is required\n\n### Inkling 2 Small\n\n1. Call https://tinker.thinkingmachines.dev/services/tinker-prod/oai/api/v1 with an OpenAI client and TINKER_API_KEY, using /chat/completions\n2. The serverless model ID is thinkingmachines/Inkling-2-Small:peft:262144:sampling-nvfp4, per Tinker's pricing page. The OpenAI page's examples use your own checkpoint paths, so confirm it before relying on it\n3. Pass reasoning_effort as none to xhigh or 0.0 to 0.99 (default 0.9); reasoning arrives in reasoning_content unless separate_reasoning is false\n4.
