Recursive Releases Free Laptop Coding Model Flint; Company Credits Automated Research System

Recursive released Flint on October 21, 2026, a free coding model that runs on laptops and is on Hugging Face, a model-sharing hub, under Apache 2.0. The company says its automated research system, the Eureka Machine, helped with nearly every development step, letting a small team build it from scratch in under four months. These are the company's own claims.
