Ollama 0.40.8 is out, and the headline is Flint, Recursive’s coding model, now on Ollama.
About Flint
- An Apache 2.0, 40B mixture-of-experts model with about 2.5B parameters active per token.
- Built for agent work across a repo: reading unfamiliar code, tracing bugs, building features and adding tests.
- Reasoning, multi-turn tool use and a 262K-token context window.
- Recursive reports 54.9% on Terminal-Bench 2.1 and 74.2% on SWE-bench Verified.
- For now it’s supported on macOS only. Other GPUs come in a later release, and 0.40.9-rc1 is already out.
My take
Only 2.5B active parameters makes this a really interesting local coding agent. I’m going to try it on a Mac.
Have a blessed day! And Happy Hacking!
