Released 2026-10-21 as Recursive's open-weight (Apache 2.0) MoE for coding agents: 39.8B total, about 2.5B active per token, 262,144-token documented context, text in and text out, knowledge cutoff June 2026 (model card huggingface.co/RecursiveSI/flint). The two free IDs are this one model: OpenRouter's recursive/flint-v1.0:free reports 262,144 context and text→text on the models API (2026-10-22), and OpenCode Zen lists it as opencode/flint-40b-free, where 40B is the card's rounded designation for 40B-A2.5B.
