🤖Recursive Unveils Flint, a Free Coding Model for Laptops
A free coding model that runs on your laptop
TL;DR
Recursive released Flint, a free coding model that runs on laptops. It uses AI to automate research and development, making it lighter and more efficient than competitors like Meta's Muse Spark Open.
Recursive just dropped Flint, a free coding model that can run on a laptop. Why does this matter? It's the first model built largely by an automated research system called the Eureka Machine, which handled everything from pre-training to inference. Flint's 2.5 billion parameters make it far smaller than Meta's 816 billion-parameter Muse Spark Open, yet it outperformed models under 50 billion parameters on SWE-Bench Verified. The model generates about 131 tokens per second on a MacBook Pro with an M4 Pro chip. This is a big deal for developers who want to experiment with AI coding assistants without breaking the bank.
Key Points
Flint, released by Recursive, is a free coding model that runs on laptops.
