Coding models that run on your MacBook Pro have never been this powerful. Big props to @Recursive_SI on Flint, pushing the Pareto frontier with a model largely built by their own Eureka Machine. Go @RichardSocher https://t.co/x0QZau6k4Y

A coding model that runs at 125 tokens a second on a MacBook and beats most open models under 50 billion parameters on SWE-bench was built largely by another AI system that picked its own architecture. That's Flint, out this week from…

Hugging Face shipped Agent Manager this week, and the framing says agents communicate and self-organize across Claude Code, Codex, and OpenCode. Read the actual architecture doc and what you get is a shared terminal grid: one controller…
