Tinker Terms Readiness Checklist

Yesterday, Thinking Machines, led by Mira Murati, launched Tinker with principles "Science is better when shared" and "AI for all." Here's a concise ownership breakdown (per SERVICE TERMS OF USE):

What You Own:

  • Customer Models
  • Customer Datasets
  • Customer Content: Prompts & responses
  • Fine-tuned changes to base model

What Co. Owns:

  • Services & IP
  • Base models
  • Usage data
  • APIs
  • Feedback
  • Conf. agreements

What 3rd Parties Own:

  • 3rd-party models
  • Subprocessors/infra.

Key Points:

  • Co. gets limited license for datasets/models for svc provision & legal compliance
  • Co. can access/remove content for service integrity; users responsible for output use & legal adherence
  • Hosted models for internal testing/eval unless specified; diff. rules for downloaded fine-tuned models

Practical Insight:
Clearly define your datasets, models, & content. Base models, APIs, & analytics are co. assets. Follow 3rd-party terms & determine if app is for "eval" or "prod" to align integration.
