Overall VibeFather rating

Our complete Vibe Coding Index, expressed on the same 0–10 practical scale.

Mixed 4.3/10
Field rank #33 / 109
1 · Sourced signals

We start with Intelligence, Coding, Agentic benchmark evidence, and preserve missing values as unverified.

2 · Practical lenses

Our code-controlled algorithm blends the native 0–100 signals by workflow and expresses the result on a stable 0–10 scale. Every required input must be present.

3 · Field ranking

Each workflow score is ranked against every model with comparable evidence, so positions update when the benchmark field changes.

The Vibe Coding Index is TheVibeFather’s code-controlled 0–100 composite for practical coding and agentic capability. Price and adoption are reported independently and never alter quality. Exact weighting remains proprietary, inputs, missing-data behavior, and per-category ranks are disclosed here. Read the benchmark methodology →

Model benchmark FAQ

Inkling Small for vibe coding and agentic engineering

Answers update from this model’s current sourced scores, practical rankings, and verified pricing.

What is Inkling Small's Vibe Coding Index?

Inkling Small has a Vibe Coding Index of 42.6/100 and is #33 of 109 in the current field. The index is TheVibeFather's stable composite for practical AI coding, combining independently sourced Intelligence, Coding, and Agentic benchmark signals. Price and adoption are compared separately and never inflate the quality score.

How does Inkling Small rank for vibe coding?

For vibe coding, Inkling Small's strongest practical area is Small, well-defined code changes at 4.9/10, ranking #39 of 109 models in TheVibeFather rankings.

Is Inkling Small good for agentic coding and autonomous tasks?

Inkling Small scores 3.6/10 for tool use and workflow execution and 3.3/10 for long autonomous coding tasks. Those categories emphasize the Agentic benchmark signal used for multi-step planning, tool calls, edits, tests, and feedback loops.

What coding benchmark scores does Inkling Small have?

The current sourced benchmark profile for Inkling Small is Intelligence 40/100, Coding 53/100, Agentic 31/100. TheVibeFather converts those 0–100 signals into consistent practical 0–10 workflow scores so models can be compared for real agentic engineering work.

How much does Inkling Small cost for agentic engineering?

The current benchmark uses a 3 to 1 input-to-output blend of not currently verified. A field price rank will appear when both input and output pricing are verified.

Are vibe coding, agentic coding, and agentic engineering the same?

They describe overlapping AI-assisted software workflows. Vibe coding emphasizes directing software through intent and iteration, agentic coding emphasizes a model planning and executing multi-step work with tools, agentic engineering is the broader discipline of designing, supervising, and validating those workflows. TheVibeFather benchmarks the shared capabilities behind all three terms on every model page, including Inkling Small.
