While USA "Slows Down", China Just Open Sourced RSI Roadmap BTW

So here is a pre-print from a few days ago: https://arxiv.org/pdf/2609.11873 It's written by some heavy hitters of China AI ecosystem: Byte Dance, Tsinghua University, Xiaohongshu Inc. (RedNote), Shanghai AI Lab. It gives a roadmap for RSI, definition of each stage of RSi, reference implementations for each stage of RSI, metrics for RSI, block diagram of how to implement each stage, and example papers and algorithms implementing each stage. It's the closest thing to "how to build RSI" we have right now in open source. Hypothetically you could take a Mac Mini (or AMD/NVIDIA equivalent), turn on Qwen 3.8 27B, and give it this paper then tell it to not stop unless it's built every level to get to RSI. It would take forever but the point is, RSI cookbook is largely already open source. By end of this year (i.e. ~3.5 months) most labs likely will have it. It's too late for a "slow down". https://preview.redd.it/93gu6snptfph1.png?width=2315&format=png&auto=webp&s=2dfa278adfc8d2bde812bdc7ce7e92123e4b79b5
