My 3 cents on RSI
Vadim Fedenko shares a technical analysis of Recursive Self-Improvement (RSI), arguing that true RSI requires improving capability faster than complexity and expanding architectural space rather than just optimizing within fixed parameters. He doubts recent claims by xAI and Anthropic that RSI could arrive within a year, citing LLMs' poor subtractive engineering skills and current reward functions that ignore complexity.
@SakanaAILabs: From Harness Engineering to RSI How will recursive self-improvement (RSI)—where AI builds and improves itself—be realiz…
Lilian Weng's blog post argues that recursive self-improvement (RSI) in AI will be realized through refining the design and optimization of the 'harness' (the system surrounding the model), and highlights research examples from Sakana AI.
When AI Builds Itself: Our progress toward recursive self-improvement
Anthropic's Institute publishes analysis on progress toward recursive self-improvement, showing AI is already accelerating AI development—engineers ship 8x more code per quarter—and projecting that AI systems capable of fully autonomous self-improvement could arrive sooner than most institutions are prepared for.
Anthropic Co-founder Jack Clark’s recent predictions: AI will help make a Nobel Prize-winning discovery within the next year, bipedal robots doing useful work in 2 years, RSI by end of 2028
Anthropic co-founder Jack Clark predicts AI will contribute to a Nobel Prize-winning discovery within a year, bipedal robots will perform useful work in two years, and recursive self-improvement (RSI) will occur by end of 2028, based on a lecture at Oxford University.
Recursive Self-Improvement for Skills (Skill RSI)
Skill RSI is a free tool that recursively evaluates and improves AI skills via procedural evaluations and a research agent, supporting standalone or Codex plugin usage.
