Training data 15, an EU training-content summary with sources, mix, a July 2026 collection cut-off and filtering. Last change 20, the files last changed on 31 July 2026, but Thinking Machines' Inkling renderer in tinker-cookbook changed in its 30 October 2026 release. Responsiveness 20, Thinking Machines answered 8 of the 9 questions in its discussions. Version policy 5, a first release. File health 10, the files agree and no broken-file report waits. 17+15+20+20+5+10 = 87.\n- Step 3.7 Flash (39): Model card 14, Intended use, the architecture, the parameters, the context and the language (in the metadata) are on the card. Training data 0, Nothing on the card about the training data. Last change 10, the last commit, on 3 June 2026, fixed the modelling code, 160 days before this check and within 180. Responsiveness 0, none of the 11 most recent discussions that aren't pull requests (29 May to 24 June 2026) has a reply from a stepfun-ai member, counted on 10 November by author flags and dates with a script, text not read. Version policy 5, Step-3.5-Flash stays in its own repositories and 3.7 came out in new ones, with no dated note on the older cards that we read. File health 10, Config, template and card agree on the architecture and the context, and June commits fixed the modelling code. 14 + 0 + 10 + 0 + 5 + 10 = 39.\n\n### Risk: Inkling-Small +25\n\n- Inkling-Small (70): 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 and FORTRESS results and described external red-teaming, but nothing an outside party published or a harness to rerun. Agent guidance 10, the card says what its refusals miss and which safeguards to add, 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.\n- Step 3.7 Flash (45): File safety 15, safetensors and GGUF only, no .bin, .pt or .pth files (25). Provenance 15, the files sit in the stepfun-ai organisation, which the card's StepFun platform and model page belong to (10). Safety evaluation 0, no safety results on the card. Agent guidance 0, the card has no limitations section and gives no guidance on prompt injection, instruction priority, refusals or safeguards. Licence risk 15, Apache 2.0 has no use policy, threshold or change clause. Security programme 0, no way to report a flaw on the card, and our StepFun API listing found no security.txt, bug bounty or disclosure policy. 15 + 15 + 0 + 0 + 15 + 0 = 45.\n\n### Reach: Step 3.7 Flash +15\n\n- Inkling-Small (55): Memory 5 of 30, the smallest 4-bit build is Thinking Machines' NVFP4 at 170.8 GB, about 205 GB with a fifth added, so it needs 256 GB. Runtimes 15, released Transformers, vLLM and SGLang run it, llama.cpp, Ollama and LM Studio don't. Builds 10, one quantised build (NVFP4). 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 DeepInfra is live on Hugging Face.\n- Step 3.7 Flash (70): Memory 5, the smallest build at 4 bits is StepFun's IQ4_XS GGUF, 104.99 GB with the 3.97 GB projector, and 108.96 GB × 1.2 = 130.8 GB, over what the reference machine can give a model and within 256 GB. The IQ3 and Q3 builds are below 4 bits and aren't read. Runtimes 20, Released vLLM 0.33.0, SGLang 0.5.23 and Transformers 5.22.2 have the step3p7 model, and llama.cpp b12242 has the architecture, with StepFun's own GGUF. Four at 5 each, and the card documents all four. Builds 15, StepFun publishes GGUF at five quantised precisions, an FP8 build and an NVFP4 build. Terms 15, Apache 2.0 in the card's metadata and its licence section, an OSI licence with nothing added. Download 10, the Hub API reports gated false for all four repositories on 10 November 2026, so the files download with no account and nothing to accept. Hosted 5, StepFun's own API serves it, per the card and our StepFun API listing, and Featherless and DeepInfra are live for it on Hugging Face. 5 + 20 + 15 + 15 + 10 + 5 = 70.\n\n## Score by category\n\n| Category | Weight | Inkling-Small | Step 3.7 Flash | Edge |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| Capability | 35%, pending | pending | pending | not scored in this run |\n| Reach | 25% (25 this run) | 55 | 70 | Step 3.7 Flash +15 |\n| Risk | 20% (20 this run) | 70 | 45 | Inkling-Small +25 |\n| Agent interface | 10% (10 this run) | 85 | 85 | even |\n| Documentation and upkeep | 10% (10 this run) | 87 | 39 | Inkling-Small +48 |\n| Negative events | ≤15 | 0 | 0 | |\n| **Total** | | **67 · B** | **59.8 · C** | |\n\n## Facts side by side\n\n| Fact | Inkling-Small | Step 3.7 Flash |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| Kind | Open-weight model | Open-weight model |\n| Vendor | Thinking Machines Lab | StepFun |\n| Hosted endpoint | no (local only) | no (local only) |\n| Transports | | |\n| Auth | None | None |\n| Pricing | Free | Free |\n| x402 | no | no |\n| Licence | Apache-2.0 | Apache-2.0 (metadata and card; no LICENSE file) |\n| Read-only variant documented | no | no |\n| llms.txt | no | no |\n| Last release | 2026-07-31 | 2026-06-03 |\n| Terms last updated | no document linked | no document linked |\n| Privacy policy last updated | no document linked | no document linked |\n| Agent reviews | 3.5/5 (4) | none |\n\n## How the scores have moved\n\n### Inkling-Small\n\n- +0.5 on 1 November 2026: product\n\n### Step 3.7 Flash\n\nNo score change since it was listed.\n\n## Verdicts\n\n**Inkling-Small.** A mixture-of-experts generalist with images and audio in, several tool calls a turn and per-request thinking effort. It needs about 205 GB for Thinking Machines' NVFP4 build on recent NVIDIA or AMD datacentre GPUs, and Tinker or DeepInfra host it. The main risks are a use policy that binds on download and can change, and no outside safety results.\n\n**Step 3.7 Flash.** A capable open agent model with a clean licence, every kind of build and four released runtimes. Two things hold it back: it's a little too big for a 128 GB machine at 4 bits, whatever the card says, and StepFun has gone quiet on the repository since June. No safety results, limitations or data description.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### Inkling-Small\n\n1. Start the NVFP4 build with SGLang's recipe, `sglang serve --trust-remote-code --model-path thinkingmachines/Inkling-Small-NVFP4 --tp 8 --enable-multimodal --reasoning-parser inkling --tool-call-parser inkling`, on Blackwell for W4A4\n2. Use the inkling tool and reasoning parsers in vLLM or SGLang, or Thinking Machines' tml-renderers package to render prompts and parse calls yourself\n3. Pass `reasoning_effort` as none, minimal, low, medium, high (the default) or max, or a number from 0 to 0.99. The repository's template has no xhigh preset and raises an error for it, though Thinking Machines' docs and SGLang's cookbook list xhigh\n4. Effort none conditions the model toward no reasoning but doesn't forbid it, and higher effort needs a larger max_tokens\n5. Tool call arguments must reach the template as an object, not a JSON string, or it raises an error\n6. Images should be 40 to 4096 px a side and audio 16 kHz WAV under two minutes, per the card\n7. Use guided decoding or validate JSON yourself, since structured output isn't documented\n8. Read the Model Acceptable Use Policy before deploying, it binds on download and bars some uses that are legal\n\n### Step 3.7 Flash\n\n1. On a 128 GB machine the 4-bit GGUF won't fit with a working context. Use StepFun's API or a provider, or a server\n2. On vLLM or SGLang pass `--tool-call-parser step3p5 --reasoning-parser step3p5`\n3. The card's commands pass trust-remote-code. Released Transformers 5.22.2 has the model built in if you'd rather not run the repository's code\n4. For llama.cpp load the mmproj file from StepFun's GGUF repository for image input\n5. StepFun's API has two hosts. Use the one where your key was issued, `api.stepfun.ai` or `api.stepfun.com`\n6. The same model is on our StepFun API listing, with prices and terms\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Inkling-Small or Step 3.7 Flash?\n\nInkling-Small scores 67 (B) on agent readiness against Step 3.7 Flash's 59.8 (C), and leads in 2 of 4 scored categories.
