Thinking Machines releases Inkling, Tencent updates Hy3 with Apache 2.0 license

from English

The latest roundup of open model artifacts highlights significant releases from Thinking Machines and Tencent, alongside updates from Poolside and DeepSeek.

Thinking Machines released Inkling, a 975B-A41B multimodal MoE supporting text, image, and audio inputs, positioned as a strong base for fine-tuning.
Tencent updated Hy3 to version 3, switching its license from restrictive custom terms to Apache 2.0 while improving performance across all metrics.
Poolside released Laguna-S-2.1, an 118B-A8B MoE optimized to fit on a DGX Spark, adopting the OpenMDW license for better legal backing.
DeepSeek updated its V4 Flash model to beat Luna at the Pareto frontier, following OpenAI's price cuts for its smallest model.
Moonshot AI released Kimi K3 under a noncommercial license requiring commercial agreements for inference and fine-tuning providers.

The power of intelligence is better in the hands of the people than in the board rooms of tycoons

The PearlOS project has launched an open-source swarm intelligence platform that uses local models to handle multimodal tasks. It automatically selects and switches between top-performing models based on benchmarks, ensuring users always access the latest and most capable models without relying on closed-source systems or subscriptions.

The economics of AI are starting to favor open models

Recent AI model releases show that high-intelligence, low-cost models are increasingly dominated by open-weight models like DeepSeek, Qwen, GLM, Kimi, and MiniMax. For most real-world applications, the performance gap between frontier closed models and strong open models is shrinking faster than cost differences, making open models competitive in terms of both capability and price.
