John T Davies 🇪🇺(@jtdavies):I had a deeper look at Recursive's 40B Flint model https://t.co/QL6rtUiYde I ran a few test yesterday but what I hadn't checked was the third-party support for the model. I was using @Prince_Canuma 's mlx-vlm but at the time it wasn't doing justice to the model. I re-ran the tests with mlx-vlm's unmerged PR 2569 (fused metal kernels), the different to stark, up to 30% which is amazing and knowing Prince, we'll see more. As an agentic model this is a beast, up there with the leaders and holding its own. Go team Recursive!
