Inkling 2 Small Launch - Internal Code Bits Per Byte: leaderboard

Publisher primary held-out code evaluation, cutoff June 2026. Base-recovered models were fine-tuned on pretrain-formatted code and documents before loss evaluation. Preserve base-recovered, pre-trained and post-trained states as different systems. No public weights/release date for experimental variants is established.

Metric: Bits per byte. Source: thinkingmachines.ai. Saturation forecast: Rough model projection: around 2026. 7 models tracked.
