1/ From OpenAI's Navier–Stokes work to AlphaEvolve's faster algorithms, AI research is getting very real. Now, with Recursive Flint, we can experience that magic locally on our own laptops 💻 The whole research loop runs locally with a selection of tasks! Code + demos 🧵

Nice mini repo in here for auto-research on your own machine. Auto-research can get spenny quickly, not anymore :)

Thanks to our Eureka Machine being put on mac inference + the model design, my MacBook barely makes a sound while churning flint :D

Really handy repository, thank you. Also, this repository shows how rich AI researchers are: a macbook might risk thermo throttling under heavy loads; and it costs like 3 grand. For such cool demonstration of unified memory, mac mini/studio seems like a better investement

The automation of science will let us break all human priors. As we saw in math, the answer was often deceptively simple and under human noses all this time! 🫨

My bar for AGI is still an AI winning a Nobel. But an AI researcher looking at the lm_head (that *everyone* tells you to keep in high precision) deciding to quantize it to 4 bits AND being actually right (0.7pt from bf16) is definitely impressive. Even better when the result are open-weights pushed on the Hugging Gace hub. Congrats @Recursive_SI !

I was kind of shocked that autoresearch works as well as this with a tiny model like Flint

5/ We used to associate useful autoresearch with the biggest closed, proprietary models. Flint can already propose ideas, write code, test it and improve results—all on a laptop. We were pleasantly surprised. You can inspect every experiment and choose what it works on next.

6/ Try it yourself :) We're sharing the code, evaluators, demos and all attempts, including failures. Give Flint your own task and a way to measure progress, and watch it run! Code + demos: github.com/conglu1997/local-… Meet Flint: xitter.cf/cong_ml/status/2112949…

rl showed no signs of saturation, but unfortunately my colleagues @recursive_si didn't accept this trade two days before the release

Introducing Flint, @Recursive_SI’s first model: a fast local coding model built with our automated research system, the Eureka Machine. • Best-in-class fast local coding • Up to 2x faster than comparable models: 125+ tokens/sec on a MacBook Pro, 150+ on RTX Spark • Built from scratch in under 4 months Private, unmetered intelligence on your own machine. Open weights available now on @huggingface, run it locally on your favorite framework or try it for free on @opencode or @pidotdev.

7/ For recursive self-improvement, our research system has to improve the process that builds the models themselves. Better models make our Eureka Machine a better researcher. That researcher helps build the next generation. Flint is a step toward closing that loop.
