Recursive releases Flint, a local coding model built with automated research

Recursive released Flint, a 40-billion-parameter mixture-of-experts coding model with roughly 2.5 billion active parameters per token. The maker says its Eureka Machine helped develop the model and reports strong coding benchmarks and local inference speed; those are vendor measurements. The official model card specifies limitations, hardware and runtime differences, so teams should test their own workflows.
