Excited to share Inkling, our first open-weights model 🎉 We pre-trained it from scratch on 45 trillion tokens across text, images, audio, and video. Very proud of what we built, and excited to see what people customize with it on Tinker! 🚀

Why it worked

Opens with a short, self-contained line that is easy to take in at a glance.
Follows a clear Hook → Context → Landing shape, so the reader always knows where they are.
The opening line stands alone, so it reads completely before the post is expanded.
Written from experience rather than as advice, which is harder to argue with.
Short enough to read in full without expanding, which removes a step before the point lands.
Short sentences keep the pace up, so the reader never has to re-read a line.

The mechanics

Hook: Announcement
Structure: Hook → Context → Landing
Style: Conversational paragraphs at a steady pace.
Tone: energetic, punchy, corporate
Written for: People building with AI
