Recursive launches Flint, a local coding model hitting 125+ tokens/s on MacBook Pro
lmoroney · x · 2026-10-22
Richard Socher announced Flint, the first model from Recursive — a local coding model built from scratch in under four months by their automated research system, the Eureka Machine. Claims: 125+ tokens/s on a MacBook Pro and 150+ on RTX Spark. Open weights are on Hugging Face, free to try via opencode. Suggested test: point it at a small repo you know well, give it three real tasks, and time how long you spend fixing its output.
