At AGI House's Google Gemma Hardware Hackathon, Recursive SI co-founder Tim Shi opened with a keynote on self-improving AI and Flint, the first model built with Recursive's auto-research system.
The thread covers Flint's technical details (sparse 40B / 2.5B active, 125+ tok/s on M4 Pro, open weights, custom Metal megakernel) and Recursive's layered framework for recursive self-improvement.
