Recursive Flint - the "Qwen3.8 35B" we've all been waiting for?

Wait 5 sec.

This model looks really impressive. TL;DR -- Coding agent model. 40B params with 2.5B active. Resoundingly beats Qwen3.6-35B-A3B in TerminalBench 2.1 and SWE-bench Pro v2 (see HF repo for table), ties or betters it in the other benchmarks they chose to show. 3:1 SWA:full attention. 262k context. I think it might finally dethrone the venerable Qwen3.6-35B-A3B and move the needle on coding agents for the GPU-poor. What do you guys think? I am downloading now and will report back when I try it out, benchmarks to come in the next few days. Recursive's blog post. WIRED Magazine coverage ("scary good").
