Inkling 2 Small vs Qwen3-Omni-30B-A3B-Instruct

Inkling 2 Small 67

Model card 17 of 20, everything but a dated knowledge cut-off. Training data 15, an EU training-content summary with sources, mix, an October 2026 collection cut-off and filtering. Last change 20, the files were uploaded on 12 November 2026. Responsiveness 0, the repository has no questions yet, which reads as none answered. Version policy 5, a first release. File health 10, the files agree and no broken-file report waits. 17 + 15 + 20 + 0 + 5 + 10 = 67.

Qwen3-Omni-30B-A3B-Instruct 26

Model card 11, intended use, architecture, parameters and languages are there, limitations, context and a cut-off aren't. Training data 5, the report's description has no cut-off. Last change 0, the files last changed on 22 September 2025 and the GitHub code since only in its README. Responsiveness 0, no Qwen reply in any of the 45 threads. Version policy 5, Qwen2.5-Omni kept without notes. File health 5, contradictory licence and language metadata and an unanswered report about long audio. 11 + 5 + 0 + 0 + 5 + 5 = 26.

Inkling 2 Small 40

Memory 0 of 30, the smallest build is Thinking Machines' NVFP4 checkpoint at 393.5 GB, about 472 GB with a fifth added, above the 256 GB line. Runtimes 0, no released version of the six runs it; vLLM and SGLang serve it from their own images and Transformers has it on its main branch only. Builds 15, two precisions from the publisher (NVFP4 and MXFP8). Terms 10, Apache 2.0 with a binding acceptable use policy on top, read as a custom licence. Download 10, no gate. Hosted 5, Thinking Machines' own Tinker serves it as beta serverless inference, and Together is live on Hugging Face. 0 + 0 + 15 + 10 + 10 + 5 = 40.

Qwen3-Omni-30B-A3B-Instruct 75

Memory earns 25, because llama.cpp's own ggml-org organisation publishes a Q4_K_M GGUF of 18.56 GB, which with its 1.33 GB projector is 23.9 GB with a fifth added, within 24 GB; the 21 October check missed it. Runtimes earn 25. Transformers runs the whole model, and released vLLM, SGLang and llama.cpp (b12177) run its Thinker with text out, and Ollama v0.40.16 runs it through its pinned llama.cpp b12177. Builds score 0, with no FP8, 4-bit or GGUF build from Alibaba. Apache 2.0 with nothing added gives terms the full 15 and the ungated repository gives download the full 10. Hosted too scores 0, since no provider serves this checkpoint and Alibaba's API serves a different Flash model. 25 + 25 + 0 + 15 + 10 + 0 = 75.

Inkling 2 Small 85

Chat template 20, a Jinja file in the repository. Tool-calling format 25, Thinking Machines' tml-renderers guide shows how tools are declared and how calls come back for this model, and its package ships the parser. Trained tool calling 20, several calls in one turn. Structured output 0, not documented. Reasoning control 10, thinking effort is set per request from none to xhigh, and the reasoning comes back in reasoning_content. Context 10, up to 1M tokens. 20 + 25 + 20 + 0 + 10 + 10 = 85.

Qwen3-Omni-30B-A3B-Instruct 60

Chat template 20, a Jinja file in the repository. Tool-calling format 10, the cookbook shows how tools are declared and calls come back and the card covers audio, image and video input and speech output, but no parser is named. Trained tool calling 20, two calls in one turn from speech in the cookbook. Structured output 5, speech in a chosen voice and text-only output are documented, with no JSON. Reasoning control 0, no thinking in this edition. Context 5, 65,536 tokens in the config and trained at 32,768. 20 + 10 + 20 + 5 + 0 + 5 = 60.

Inkling 2 Small 65

File safety 25, safetensors only and no repository code to run. Provenance 15, the files are in the organisation Thinking Machines links to, with a SHA-256 on every LFS file. Safety evaluation 10, Thinking Machines' own StrongREJECT, FORTRESS, HoneyBench and DistressBench results and described outside red-teaming, but nothing an outside party published or a harness to rerun. Agent guidance 5, the card names safeguards to add but doesn't say what its refusals cover, with nothing on prompt injection. Licence risk 5, 10 off for a use policy that reaches beyond the law and that can change at any time. Security programme 5, a security.txt and a disclosure policy, with public advisories unchecked and scored as absent. 25 + 15 + 10 + 5 + 5 + 5 = 65.

Qwen3-Omni-30B-A3B-Instruct 55

File safety 25, safetensors only and no code in the repository, so the cookbook's trust_remote_code flag runs nothing. Provenance 15, files in the Qwen organisation with a checksum on every file. Safety evaluation 0 and agent guidance 0, nothing published, though spoken input can trigger tool calls. Licence risk 15, plain Apache 2.0. Security programme 0, no security contact, disclosure policy or advisories for Qwen. 25 + 15 + 0 + 0 + 15 + 0 = 55.
