Flint 40B Is Free on OpenCode and OpenRouter

Recursive’s Flint is an open-weight coding model with 39.8B total parameters, around 2.5B active per token, and a 262K context window. It targets coding agents that explore repositories, fix bugs, implement features, and write tests.

Flint is available free on OpenCode (s'ouvre dans un nouvel onglet) and OpenRouter (s'ouvre dans un nouvel onglet). Free access may have rate limits. We couldn’t confirm availability on Command Code.

How does it compare with similarly sized Qwen 3.6? Recursive reports Flint scoring 54.9% on Terminal-Bench 2.1, versus 44.9% for Qwen 3.6. On SWE-bench Verified, the reported scores are 74.2% versus 73.4%. These are vendor-reported results, and testing conditions may differ.

Worth trying: compare both models on real repository tasks in OpenCode. Flint looks promising for free agentic coding, but test output quality and provider limits before making it your default.
