Richard Socher announces Flint, the first model from Recursive Intelligence: 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 at 125+ tokens/sec on a MacBook Pro and 150+ on RTX Spark—up to 2x faster than comparable models. Positioned as "private, unmetered intelligence on your own machine," with open weights available on Hugging Face.
