Flint is the best-performing model in its class (MoE models under 50B) on agentic coding benchmarks like SWE-bench Pro v2, Terminal-Bench 2.1, and SWE-bench Verified. It also rivals similarly sized dense models that are much slower to run. Flint is also the fastest model in its class: • 125+ tokens/sec on an M4 Pro MacBook Pro • 150+ tokens/sec on a 64GB NVIDIA RTX Spark Up to 2x faster than comparable models on short contexts, and 5x+ faster than dense models with similar coding scores.

Then it uses the results to decide what to try next. We used it in nearly every part of how Flint was built.Show more
