    1/ You can now run a research swarm entirely on your Mac, model included. Eight agents share one local 40B Flint model on a 48 GB M4 Pro: writing code, testing ideas and building on whatever works. Give them a problem and a score to beat. Here's how 🧵

    RT @demishassabis: Very excited to share Genie 4, our incredible interactive world model, bringing together real-time physics, reasoning, and audio! Simulations within simulations, makes you wonder just how deep the rabbit hole goes... I have a feeling we will be finding out soon enough...

    This is Genie 4, our most realistic and interactive world model yet. 🌐 Explore dynamic environments in real time to see how the scene responds, sounds, and how the people in it move, react, and speak.

    RT @josh_tobin_: I continue to be surprised and impressed at how much autoresearch you can do on your laptop these days thanks to Flint

    5/ To see how much faster the swarm could work, we ran one and eight agents for six hours each, twice per task. Across three tasks, eight agents averaged 2.3× as many valid experiments per research hour. Here's how the solutions improved:

    6/ A year from now, what will a research swarm on a laptop be able to do? My earlier local autoresearch demo: Code and examples:

    1/ From OpenAI's Navier–Stokes work to AlphaEvolve's faster algorithms, AI research is getting very real. Now, with Recursive Flint, we can experience that magic locally on our own laptops 💻 The whole research loop runs locally with a selection of tasks! Code + demos 🧵

    1/ Can a model that runs on a laptop also drive GPU training research? Recursive Flint, our new 40B open model, improved NanoChat across 700+ experiments—finishing close to our historical Claude Haiku 4.5 results. We were pleasantly surprised. Here's what it tried 🧵

    4/ Flint finished close to historical Haiku 4.5, with Sonnet 4.6 still ahead at the same experiment budget. Our 40B model uses just 2.5B parameters per token. We didn't expect it to get this far on a research task we'd associated with powerful proprietary models.

    5/ Autoresearch helped us develop Flint. Seeing Flint contribute useful research itself is an encouraging early step. We're starting to explore how far that loop can go, and how to develop it safely. Meet Flint: Try it locally:

    Thanks to our Eureka Machine being put on mac inference + the model design, my MacBook barely makes a sound while churning flint :D

    Really handy repository, thank you. Also, this repository shows how rich AI researchers are: a macbook might risk thermo throttling under heavy loads; and it costs like 3 grand. For such cool demonstration of unified memory, mac mini/studio seems like a better investement
