Thinking Machines’ Inkling 2 Small swears in its reasoning. Vals AI scanned 2,655 agent runs: ‘fuck’ showed up 316 times in 50 runs, 241 from just two runaway runs. It swears late in long runs, but it doesn’t predict failure. #MachineLearning
Inkling 2 Small: An Inkling of Profanity | Vals AI
We read the reasoning of Thinking Machines' Inkling 2 Small across 2,655 AI agent runs on 13 benchmarks. It rarely swears, and when it does it is usually late in a long run.

How fixed are a model’s values? Nous post-trained Qwen3.8-27B on ~53M tokens to “reinforce Western values.” Its propaganda rate on an 803-prompt eval fell from 22% to 0.9%, with no capability drop in Nous’s own tests. #MachineLearning #OpenWeights
Introducing Arete-27B: Qwen3.8-27B Post-Trained To Reinforce Western Values
We post-trained Alibaba's Qwen3.8-27B to reinforce Western values on a Chinese-trained model, and measured what changed with an 803-prompt eval across seven value categories.
