Free access, setup, and what to expect.
Inkling Small is available with up to 200 requests / hour free through Kilo. Free allowances can change. Check the Inkling Small provider limits before you start.
To use Inkling Small, choose one of the listed Inkling Small API providers and follow the provider’s account and API-key setup guide. Copy the Inkling Small model ID and connection settings for your chosen provider into your app or API client. Model IDs can differ between providers. API requests go directly to the provider; Free Models is a comparison site.
Inkling Small accepts text, image, and audio as listed input formats. Listed output formats include text. Image or audio input support does not imply image or audio generation. Check the chosen provider’s Inkling Small documentation for supported file types and request formats.
Inkling Small has a listed context window of 524K tokens. Tokens are small pieces of content rather than a word count. Instructions, conversation history, and other inputs use context space, and the response also needs room. The maximum output length for Inkling Small may be smaller than the context window and can vary by provider.
Inkling Small has both reasoning and tool calling listed as supported capabilities. Reasoning enables additional processing for complex problems. Tool calling allows a model to request functions that your app executes. Check the chosen provider’s documentation for capability availability and setup.
Review the listed Inkling Small benchmark results to compare performance on measured tasks. Compare scores within the same benchmark: coding indexes, Elo ratings, and win rates measure different things. The index comparison charts include only scored free models listed on Free Models. Evaluate Inkling Small on examples from your own task alongside context size and provider limits.
