Test details
What's new · October 21, 2026Recursive released Flint, an Apache-2.0 coding model. The Hugging Face card lists 39.8 billion parameters and about 2.5 billion active per token, and Ollama lists it for local use. Recursive says its inference engine does more than 125 tokens per second on an M4 Pro MacBook Pro. The card's 54.9% Terminal-Bench 2.1 figure is Recursive's own evaluation. Agent test pending.Source
Recursive's mixture-of-experts coding model. The Hugging Face card lists 39.8 billion total parameters and about 2.5 billion active per token, under Apache 2.0. Recursive's announcement says it runs locally with Ollama, LM Studio, and llama.cpp, and that their own inference engine does more than 125 tokens per second on an M4 Pro MacBook Pro. The card reports 54.9% on Terminal-Bench 2.1 in Recursive's own evaluation. We have not run it.
