RSI, Tian Yuandong has delivered! 40B local coding model open-sourced, can run on MacBook Pro

What happened: Recursive Superintelligence, co-founded by former Meta FAIR research director Yuandong Tian, released Flint, a local coding model, and open-sourced it under the Apache 2.0 license. Key numbers: 39.8B total parameters, about 2.5B activated per token. Why it matters: Recursive says Flint leads other MoE models under 50B total parameters on the three agent coding benchmarks, and the company built the full training pipeline in about 4 months using its Eureka Machine automated research system.
