Recursive AI has released Flint, its first model: a fast local coding model built from scratch in under 4 months by the company's automated research system, the Eureka Machine.
- Claims best-in-class fast local coding, up to 2x faster than comparable models: 125+ tokens/sec on a MacBook Pro, 150+ on RTX Spark
- Pitch is private, unmetered intelligence on your own machine; open weights are on Hugging Face, runnable in your favorite local framework or free to try on opencode and pidot
- Announced by Richard Socher and celebrated by Jeff Clune's team
