I've got an Inkling

This week’s AI roundup covers the launch of Thinking Machines’ Inkling, an open-weights model with a 1M-token context window, and updates to GLM-5.2, Gemini Spark, and Gemma 4 31B. It also highlights tools like Yoroll for game creation, Scan for codebase visualization, and Grandma for agent memory, alongside discussions on AI safety and the evolving nature of coding.

• Thinking Machines launched Inkling, an open-weights model with a 1M-token context window supporting text, images, and audio.
• GLM-5.2 is a leading open-source model, and methods are being explored to add vision capabilities.
• OpenAI’s internal model GPT-Red helps identify vulnerabilities in their AI models.
• Google’s Gemini Spark now offers enhanced editing and reading capabilities across Docs, Sheets, and Slides, and is 50% faster.
• xAI’s Grok Build initially uploaded code by default but is now open source.
• DeepMind CEO Demis Hassabis suggests AGI is years away and proposes a US-led standards body for advanced model testing.
• Tools and skills mentioned include Yoroll for game creation, Scan for codebase mapping, TogetherLink for running open models, and Grandma for agent memory.
• Discussions touch on the benefits of direct API calls over SDKs, treating AI tokens like headcount, and the impact of code as a medium for thought.
• A conservationist created a video game from 40TB of public data, and a hidden prompt caused Claude to leak sensitive information.
