Recursive Releases Flint, an Open-Weight 40B Coding Model
An Apache 2.0 license means teams can run, fine-tune and ship Flint commercially without restrictions, a rare setup among coding models. Its 40B MoE design targets local deployment, so developers with a 64GB-class GPU can test it offline and benchmark the 220 tokens-per-second claim themselves. Anyone comparing local coding assistants against proprietary cloud options has a new open baseline to try.
Recursive has released Flint, its first open-weight coding model, under the Apache 2.0 license. Flint is a 40B parameter mixture-of-experts model designed for local coding. The company reports over 220 tokens per second on a 64GB RTX Spark and claims it runs 2x faster than comparable alternatives. Recursive's Eureka Machine, a system for running AI research experiments, wrote custom GPU code that sped Flint up by 55% on RTX Spark without changing the weights.
