Introducing Flint, @Recursive_SI’s first model: a fast local coding model built with our automated research system, the Eureka Machine. • Best-in-class fast local coding • Up to 2x faster than comparable models: 125+ tokens/sec on a MacBook Pro, 150+ on RTX Spark • Built from scratch in under 4 months Private, unmetered intelligence on your own machine. Open weights available now on @huggingface, run it locally on your favorite framework or try it for free on @opencode or @pidotdev.

Flint pushes the Pareto frontier on local coding.

Flint is the best-performing model in its class (MoE models under 50B) on agentic coding benchmarks like SWE-bench Pro v2, Terminal-Bench 2.1, and SWE-bench Verified. It also rivals similarly sized dense models that are much slower to run.

Flint is also the fastest model in its class: • 125+ tokens/sec on an M4 Pro MacBook Pro • 150+ tokens/sec on a 64GB NVIDIA RTX Spark Up to 2x faster than comparable models on short contexts, and 5x+ faster than dense models with similar coding scores. Your data stays on your

Flint is also a real-world test of the Eureka Machine, our system for automated AI research. It runs the full research loop: ideation, implementation, and validation. Then it uses the results to decide what to try next. We used it in nearly every part of how Flint was built.
