Highlighted rows are where these differ.

Inkling

  • Pretrained on 45 trillion tokens of text, images, audio and video, with an encoder free architecture
  • Apache 2.0, weights on Hugging Face, same day fine tuning through the lab's Tinker platform
  • The lab earns from the compute customers use to adapt it, not from per token access

Best for fine tuning on your own data.
