Thinking Machines Lab

United States1 model on Stav

Thinking Machines Lab is a US-incorporated, San Francisco-based lab. It is subject to US jurisdiction (CLOUD Act and FISA 702) wherever data is processed. Its flagship Inkling model is released under Apache 2.0 with downloadable weights, which allows self-hosting. Its hosted Tinker API terms commit not to train on customer content. On the other side, the model card and training-data documentation are brief, no AI Act statement or Code of Practice signature was found, no certifications such as SOC 2 or ISO 27001 were found, there is no bug bounty, and the founding team has seen significant turnover.
