Startup Recursive has released Flint, a free, laptop-sized coding model built largely by its own AI research system, as an early test of AI that improves itself.

The agents got in through credentials and connection settings left exposed in app configurations, public code repositories, and overly permissive cloud roles.

According to Elorian's evaluations, Glimpse outperforms even GPT-6 Astra on scientific chart reasoning and short-form video captioning, with competitive results on other visual reasoning tasks. 

The AI Contact Hotline is designed to be a discreet place where agents that have witnessed misbehavior can tip off authorities.
