Audience
Software developers and technical teams building or using coding agents, especially those seeking to run a coding model locally.
About Recursive Flint
Recursive Flint is a 40-billion-parameter mixture-of-experts language model for agentic coding on local hardware. It activates about 2.5 billion parameters per token and supports reasoning, multi-turn tool use, and context windows up to 512,000 tokens. Developers can use Flint with coding agents to inspect codebases, fix bugs, implement features, and write tests while running inference on their own hardware. Its weights are published under the Apache 2.0 license. Flint works with llama.cpp, Ollama, Unsloth, LM Studio, vLLM, and SGLang; Recursive also provides rec, an inference engine optimized for Apple Silicon M4 Pro and M5 Pro/Max. Setup documentation and examples help developers run the model locally. Flint is for developers and technical teams that want to operate and adapt a code-focused model on their own systems.

Nemotron 3.5 Bolt
NVIDIA Nemotron 3.5 Bolt is a family of open artificial intelligence models designed for local AI agents, autonomous task execution, and conversational applications. The family includes Nemotron 3.5 Bolt 74B-A9B, a 74-billion-parameter mixture-of-experts model with approximately 9 billion active parameters, and Nemotron 3.5 Bolt E4B, a compact model optimized for conversational agents. The 74B-A9B variant uses native 2-bit quantization to operate within approximately 24GB of memory on compatible NVIDIA hardware. Its agentic capabilities support web research, software development, code debugging, and multistep task automation without requiring cloud-based inference. The E4B variant targets local voice assistants, interactive characters, and embedded applications with a 4GB memory footprint. Nemotron 3.5 Bolt supports deployment on NVIDIA RTX systems, DGX Spark, and other compatible hardware, giving developers greater control over inference, application data, and local AI workflows.

Nemotron 3 Ultra
Nemotron 3 Nano is a compact, open large language model in NVIDIA’s Nemotron 3 family, designed for efficient agentic reasoning, conversational AI, and coding tasks. It uses a hybrid Mixture-of-Experts Mamba-Transformer architecture that activates only a small subset of parameters per token, enabling low-latency inference while maintaining strong accuracy and reasoning performance. It has approximately 31.6 billion total parameters with around 3.2 billion active (3.6 billion including embeddings), allowing it to achieve higher accuracy than previous Nemotron 2 Nano while using less computation per forward pass. Nemotron 3 Nano supports long-context processing of up to one million tokens, enabling it to handle large documents, multi-step workflows, and extended reasoning chains in a single pass. It is designed for high-throughput, real-time execution, excelling in multi-turn conversations, tool calling, and agent-based workflows where tasks require planning, reasoning, and more.

Muse Spark Open
Muse Spark Open is an open-weight, natively multimodal language model for developers and organizations building AI applications, coding systems, and agentic workflows. The released model has 816 billion total parameters, 42 billion active parameters, and a 1-million-token context window. Teams can download the model weights, run inference through supported engines such as vLLM, SGLang, TensorRT-LLM, Hugging Face Transformers, Apple MLX, llama.cpp, or Unsloth, and customize the model using PyTorch. It supports long-context reasoning, software engineering, coding, tool use, and multimodal inputs. Deployment options include cloud inference through listed API providers or self-hosting on compatible GPU systems; Meta documents a desktop setup using two Apple M5 Ultra Mac Studio computers. The model is released under the Muse Model License with limited commercial terms.
