Recursive releases laptop-class coding model Flint, says it was built mainly with AI involvement
AI startup Recursive has released its first model, Flint, a coding model that runs offline on a laptop and is freely downloadable on Hugging Face under the Apache 2.0 license; the company says its development process was mainly carried out with the involvement of its in-house Eureka Machine. Flint is an MoE model that activates only 2.5B of its 40B parameters at a time, generates at about 131 tokens/sec on a MacBook Pro with an M4 Pro, and outperforms other models under 50B parameters on SWE-Bench Verified. Recursive says Flint requires more guidance than large paid coding assistants and recommends breaking large tasks into small steps.
