Thinking Machines models and prices
2 models, 2 with a published price , 2 with open weights · released 2026-07-17 to 2026-07-30.
Thinking Machines does not sell these models — every price here is a host's price
That is the normal shape for a lab that publishes weights instead of selling inference: the model is theirs, the price is somebody else's. It also means there is no single official price to quote, only a market of hosts.

Cheapest Thinking Machines models per 1M tokens
Standard on-demand tier, cheapest host per model. Media models are priced in their own unit and listed further down rather than mixed into this table.

Open weights from Thinking Machines
Parameter counts are computed from the published weight files, and licences are what the authors attached — both from the weights registry rather than from any seller. Licence class decides whether you can self-host commercially without signing something.

One API for every Thinking Machines model
VernaOne fronts the sellers on this page behind a single interface, so switching model or host is a config change — with automatic fallback if quality or latency regresses.

Newest first, priced or not. A model with no price is a fact about what its sellers publish, not a gap we are hiding.

Frequently asked
How many models does Thinking Machines have?
We track 2 Thinking Machines models across 1 category, 2 of them with a published price. The list is rebuilt from provider APIs, the vendor's own docs and the weights registry rather than maintained by hand, so new releases appear without us writing about them.
Can I buy Thinking Machines models directly from Thinking Machines?
Not for the models on this page. Every price we hold for Thinking Machines comes from a third-party host, which is what you would expect from a lab that publishes weights rather than selling inference.
Are Thinking Machines models open weights?
2 of 2 have a public weights repository. Licence mix: 2 open weights permissive. Licence class decides whether you can self-host commercially without a separate agreement, so check the model page before planning a deployment.
