Base: thinkingmachines/Inkling-Small · Teacher: thinkingmachines/Inkling A rank-32 LoRA adapter that turns Inkling-Small into a terminal agent for this workflow: Trained on Tinker in a budget-capped pilot (< $100 total compute). 1. Teacher distillation (SFT). Successful multi-turn trajectories from the larger Inkling teacher (token-level; loss only on the teacher's own actions): 175 intent-curriculum episodes plus 139 terminal coding episodes from OpenThoughts-Agent-RL-5K. Trajectories where the teacher tried to look answers up online were removed. 2. RL. GRPO-style group advantages (4 clones of the same seeded task per group), 12 steps × 32 rollouts, in network-disabled local Docker…
