Summary
On July 15, 2026, Databricks made Thinking Machines' newly released open-weights Inkling model available through Unity AI Gateway, applying the same security, permissions, audit logging, and policy enforcement enterprises use for other models. Inkling is callable via REST API today with SQL support planned, and integrates with coding agents including Cursor and OpenCode plus AI Playground and Agent Bricks.
What changed
Databricks added Inkling to Unity AI Gateway with governed access (permissions, audit logging, policy enforcement), REST API invocation now and SQL invocation coming, and deployment paths through AI Playground and Agent Bricks plus integration with coding agents such as Cursor and OpenCode.
Why it matters
Wrapping a same-day open-weights model release in existing enterprise governance lets regulated teams adopt Inkling without standing up new controls, and positions Databricks' Unity AI Gateway as a governed on-ramp for the fast-growing pool of open models.
Evidence excerpt
Inkling is governed through Unity AI Gateway with the same security, permissions, audit logging, and policy enforcement that enterprises apply to all models on Databricks.
