A new model from Thinking Machines is getting attention on X for two less flattering reasons: a low SpeechMap ranking and a licensing-policy argument.
A post on X from @xlr8harder points to SpeechMap's page for Thinking Machines ranking the company's new Inkling model 20th out of 22 labs on its leaderboard. The post frames that as weak benchmark performance, while also describing the model as open source. Attention then spread through a sarcastic quote-post from @eliebakouch, and a later post from @xlr8harder raised a separate question about how an acceptable use policy fits with a claimed Apache-style release.
