About Tinker

Tinker exposes low-level training and sampling primitives while managing the underlying infrastructure. Inkling is available in 64K and 256K context configurations, and the platform publishes token-based prefill, sample, and training prices.

Tinker is Thinking Machines Lab's managed API platform for fine-tuning and sampling supported foundation models. It is the first-party public Tinker surface through which Inkling is available for fine-tuning.
