Terminal agents + 975B models: Weekly signals

Short summary

A weekly roundup covering three releases: Grok Build (Rust TUI coding agent with headless ACP mode for CI), Inkling (975B MoE model with 41B active params and 1M context, available on Tinker), and three open embedding models (8B/1B BF16/1B NVFP4) topping RTEB benchmarks. Each item gets a ship/evaluate verdict with practical deployment guidance for engineering teams.

• •Grok Build: Rust terminal coding agent with headless ACP mode — verdict: ship
• •Inkling: 975B MoE (41B active) open-weight multimodal model — verdict: evaluate if you manage GPU clusters
• •Three open embedding models (8B/1B/1B NVFP4) with strong RTEB results — verdict: ship, benchmark against current RAG embeddings
