Recursive releases Flint, an open 40B-parameter coding model that runs locally

Recursive released Flint under Apache 2.0, a mixture-of-experts coding model with about 40B total and 2.5B active parameters and up to 512k context. Weights are on Hugging Face. The company claims it is the best MoE under 50B on agentic coding benchmarks and over 125 tokens per second on an M4 Pro MacBook Pro. Benchmarks are Recursive's own.
