Recursive's Eureka Machine picks a 40B/2.5B-active architecture with 4-bit quantized LM head

Recursive's Eureka Machine — an AI scientist system — autonomously chose the architecture for its local coding model: 40B total params, 2.5B active, and a 4-bit quantized LM head, a design choice human researchers would typically reject — yet it worked.
Recursive's Tim Shi explains on the Thursdai podcast why this unconventional setup suits local coding use cases.
