Recursive launches Flint, a laptop coding model it says was largely built by AI

What happened: Recursive released Flint, a free coding model that runs on a laptop and was built largely with help from its automated research system, the Eureka Machine. Key numbers: Built from scratch in under four months. 2.5 billion of 40 billion parameters active at a time. Why it matters: Recursive calls Flint an early public test of recursive self-improvement, an idea some researchers fear could slip out of human control. The company says humans oversee the process and can stop it. Separate each section with a blank line.
