Table of Contents

1. MLA, APA, and Chicago citations
2. IB rubrics
3. Smarter, more predictable AI

We’re excited to announce three updates to Flint! Students can now easily cite Flint, and teachers can rest assured that the AI will do a much better job of following their instructions.

1. MLA, APA, and Chicago citations

Flint now has built-in citations in MLA, APA, and Chicago! Simply hover over a message from the AI, click the quotations, and get a pop-up with properly formatted citations that can be copied and pasted.

2. IB rubrics

We’ve added IB to the grade level selector in Flint! This means that teachers can select from PYP, MYP, or DP years to set the difficulty level of an activity. Plus, Flint will automatically generate a corresponding IB rubric based on the year selected.

3. Smarter, more predictable AI

Flint now does a significantly better job of sticking to the helpfulness level and rules for a given activity. This is largely because we’ve switched the AI model powering Flint from OpenAI’s GPT-4o to Anthropic’s Claude 3.5 Sonnet.
