vLLM adds Day-0 support for Recursive's Flint model
A sparse 2.5B-active architecture hitting 500 TPS on one GB200 shows how far inference efficiency now goes without speculative decoding, a benchmark point worth tracking against dense models of similar quality. Teams serving long-context workloads can run Flint in vLLM immediately in either NVFP4 or BF16. Builders evaluating open-weight model serving stacks should compare its throughput on their own GPUs.
vLLM announced Day-0 support for Flint, a 40B-parameter model from Recursive (Recursive_SI) with only 2.5B active parameters per token. vLLM's custom NVFP4 kernels reach 500 tokens per second on a single NVIDIA GB200, even at 100K context without speculative decoding. Both NVFP4 and BF16 checkpoints are runnable in vLLM today, 25 Sep 2025.
Day-0 support for @Recursive_SI's Flint is here in vLLM! 🚀
40B parameters, just 2.5B active per token. Thanks to the small size, our custom NVFP4 kernels push it to 500 TPS on a single GB200, even at 100K context without speculative decoding.
Both NVFP4 and BF16 are ready to run today! https://t.co/KzlqAEqoHM
