# Inkling 2 Small now available on AI Gateway

Vercel added Inkling 2 Small from Thinking Machines to [AI Gateway](<https://vercel.com/changelog/inkling-2-small-now-available-on-ai-gateway>). It's a multimodal reasoning model that takes text and image inputs and returns text.

Thinking Machines describes it as built for coding agents, visual understanding, and professional knowledge work. It can work through longer coding tasks, use tools to gather information, and turn what it finds into documents, spreadsheets, and other deliverables. On the visual side, it can read text in images, interpret charts and infographics, and inspect interfaces. For front-end work, it can check screenshots of the output of the code it writes and use them to guide the next revision.

To call it, use thinkingmachines/inkling-2-small as the model name, for example in the AI SDK's streamText. To use it in Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, and other agents, install the latest Vercel CLI and run npx vercel ai-gateway setup. Then [select the model in the agent](<https://vercel.com/docs/ai-gateway/coding-agents>). There's also a model playground if you'd like to try it first.

Vercel says AI Gateway reflects provider pricing with no markup and charges no platform fee on inference, including BYOK requests.
