Benchmark results indicate it outperforms Nemotron Ultra, which uses 55 billion active parameters, demonstrating improved efficiency by achieving better performance with fewer active parameters. ## Content Thinky is a new mixture-of-experts model with roughly 1 trillion total parameters and 41 billion active parameters, released under the Apache 2.0 license. Benchmark results show a clear step up from Nemotron Ultra, which uses 55 billion active parameters — meaning Thinky gets better performance while activating fewer parameters per forward pass. ## Similar posts on daily.dev - [Introducing Mellum2: A 12B Mixture-of-Experts Model by JetBrains](https://daily.dev/posts/introducing-mellum2-a-12b-mixture-of-experts-model-by-jetbrains-ztgyhiwra) · Hugging Face · 3 upvotes · 0 comments --- Tags: [#open-source](https://daily.dev/tags/open-source), [#llm](https://daily.dev/tags/llm), [#mixture-of-experts](https://daily.dev/tags/mixture-of-experts) [View this post on daily.dev](https://daily.dev/posts/thinky-a-1t-parameter-moe-model-with-41b-active-parameters-under-apache-2-0-nn28tkhzk) ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180},"sameAs":["https://twitter.com/dailydotdev","https://github.com/dailydotdev","https://www.linkedin.com/company/daily-dev-ltd"]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://daily.dev/#website","url":"https://daily.dev","name":"daily.dev","publisher":{"@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization"},"potentialAction":{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https://daily.dev/search?q={search_term_string}"},"query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"TechArticle","headline":"Thinky: a ~1T parameter MoE model with 41B active parameters under Apache 2.0","url":"https://daily.dev/posts/thinky-a-1t-parameter-moe-model-with-41b-active-parameters-under-apache-2-0-nn28tkhzk","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/thinky-a-1t-parameter-moe-model-with-41b-active-parameters-under-apache-2-0-nn28tkhzk"},"datePublished":"2026-07-15T23:00:02.010Z","dateModified":"2026-07-15T23:00:33.427Z","description":"Thinky is a new mixture-of-experts (MoE) large language model featuring approximately 1 trillion total parameters with only 41 billion active parameters per...","isAccessibleForFree":true,"articleSection":"Collections","inLanguage":"en","publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180}},"author":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Collections","logo":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/s--fk_6ycEi--/f_auto,q_auto/v1780996001/logos/collections?_a=BAMAMiWQ0","url":"https://daily.dev/sources/collections"},"commentCount":0,"discussionUrl":"https://daily.dev/posts/thinky-a-1t-parameter-moe-model-with-41b-active-parameters-under-apache-2-0-nn28tkhzk","interactionStatistic":[{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":{"@type":"LikeAction"},"userInteractionCount":0},{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":{"@type":"CommentAction"},"userInteractionCount":0}],"keywords":"open-source,llm,mixture-of-experts","timeRequired":"PT1M"} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Home","item":"https://daily.dev"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"Collections","item":"https://daily.dev/sources/collections"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"name":"Thinky: a ~1T parameter MoE model with 41B active parameters under Apache 2.0"}]} ```
