Recursive Flint, a new coding agent model, has been released with 40 billion parameters, featuring 2.5 billion active parameters and a 262k context window. It reportedly outperforms Qwen3.6-35B-A3B on benchmarks like TerminalBench 2.1 and SWE-bench Pro v2. The model is designed to be more accessible for users with less powerful GPUs, potentially dethroning previous coding agent leaders. However, initial reports suggest Ornith-1.5 may still hold the top position, with ongoing investigation into implementation glitches. AI
IMPACT Potentially lowers the barrier for GPU-poor users to deploy advanced coding agents, challenging existing benchmarks.
