Thinking Machines Inkling API parameters
These are the API parameters modelparams.dev tracks for Thinking Machines Inkling — the settings you send in a request. Each row gives the type, default, valid range or values, and the conditions that gate it. It's the same data the JSON API serves.
After the parameter count instead — how many weights Inkling has? That's a different number, and we don't track it. Here's the difference.
Length
1 param
| Parameter | Type | Default | Description | Condition |
|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Max tokens
max_tokens
|
integer (1…+∞) | — | Maximum number of output tokens the model may generate. | — |
Sampling
2 params
| Parameter | Type | Default | Description | Condition |
|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Temperature
temperature
|
number | 1 | Controls randomness. Lower values make outputs more focused; higher values make them more varied. | — |
|
Top P
top_p
|
number (0…1) | 1 | Controls nucleus sampling by limiting generation to tokens within the selected cumulative probability. | — |
Reasoning
2 params
| Parameter | Type | Default | Description | Condition |
|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Reasoning effort
reasoning_effort
|
enum (none | minimal | low | medium | high | xhigh) | "high" | Controls how much thinking Inkling performs before answering. Accepts a preset name or a number between 0.0 and 0.99; presets map to numeric effort levels (none=0.0, minimal=0.1, low=0.2, medium=0.7, high=0.9, xhigh=0.99). | — |
|
Separate reasoning
separate_reasoning
|
boolean | true | Returns the model's reasoning in a dedicated reasoning_content field instead of interleaving it with the final message content. | — |
