What happened
Arena ranks Inkling 2 Small #31 overall and says it would be the #1 US open-weights model once its weights ship, at a median $0.25 per task. DeepSeek says its open-source Harness agent app has 1.54 million daily users consuming about 92 trillion tokens a day, with about 35,000 community plugins and a marketplace...
Why it matters
Developers building AI agents could have more low-cost model options if Inkling 2 Small's weights are released as described, though the top-US ranking depends on that release. For DeepSeek's Harness, the reported usage and planned marketplace could influence which plugins and integrations developers choose to build on. Watch for the Inkling 2 Small weight release and the launch of DeepSeek's marketplace to see whether these claims hold up.
