Recursive launches Flint, a laptop coding model it says was largely built by AI

Recursive has released Flint, a free, laptop-sized coding model built largely by its own AI research system as an early test of AI self-improvement. Flint is a testbed for Recursive's AI system to demonstrate its ability to create complex systems independently. The model is a laptop-sized coding framework that allows developers to write and debug code in a visual interface. Recursive's AI system was involved in the development of Flint, with the AI contributing to the design and implementation of the model's architecture and components.
