ChengleiSi · x · 2026-10-22
Recursive, Richard Socher's new company, launched Flint, its first model: a fast local coding model built from scratch in under 4 months by their automated research system, the Eureka Machine.
- Claims best-in-class fast local coding: 125+ tokens/sec on a MacBook Pro, 150+ on RTX Spark — up to 2x faster than comparable models
- Open weights available on Hugging Face; run locally or try free on opencode or pidot
- Pitch: private, unmetered intelligence on your own machine
