rsi

Ben Burtenshaw outlines a non-sequential categorization for AI model shops in 2026, covering phases like pre-blog, pre-lab, pre-model, pre-rsi, and pre-cloud, emphasizing the need for updated thinking beyond traditional 'pre-product' concepts.

Announcement of the ICLR 2026 Workshop on Recursive Self-Improvement (RSI 2026), the first workshop dedicated to RSI, including call for papers and submission details.

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.

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.

Announcement of HUD's RL environments for the RSI hackathon in San Francisco on June 20-21, offering over $100,000 in prizes and compute credits.
