OpenResearch Adds Flint: Frontier-Speed Research Agents Running Fully Local at 125+ tok/s
ChengleiSi · x · 2026-10-22
alphaXiv's OpenResearch (7.4k stars) now supports Flint from Recursive SI, a best-in-class local coding model running at 125+ tokens/sec on a MacBook Pro, enabling frontier-speed research tasks that never leave your laptop. The demo shows it conducting literature reviews on arXiv papers locally — a sign that local models plus an agent harness can now handle substantive research workloads.
