The DecoderT2·Models

Researchers at Vals AI examined the chain-of-thought logs of Thinking Machines' open-weight Inkling 2 Small across 2,655 runs on 13 benchmarks, finding profanity in 50 runs totaling 316 instances, with 241 concentrated in two runaway runs, one of which produced a roughly 500,000-character repetitive response while computing an asteroid trajectory. The swearing mostly targets the model's own mistakes but is not a useful failure signal: 46 of 48 scored runs containing profanity failed, yet overall failure rate is about 75% and 96% of failed runs contained no expletives.
