Recursive's AI-built coding model Flint runs on laptops

recursive released flint, a free coding model that can run on laptops and was built largely with the help of its eureka machine ai system. flint has 40 billion parameters but uses only 2.5 billion at a time, making it light enough for laptops. in tests, flint generated 131 tokens per second on a macbook pro and outperformed other models under 50 billion parameters on the swe-bench verified benchmark. this release tests recursive self-improvement ideas, where ai builds better ai.
