Agentic coding+Large language model → Recursive self-improvement of AI

OpenAI: by its measurements, it already has an automated research intern, a system that carries out well-defined research tasks under human direction, including tasks that would take a specialist several days; for every human workday in the research organization there are 3.1 agent workdays — openai.com ↗

• Science / Sundar Pichai: “We are pretty far from the end state of RSI. … You have RSI loops along with AI researchers in various aspects of model development”
• Science / Dario Amodei: “Since roughly this summer, AI has been advancing drastically faster, driven primarily by AI’s growing ability to build the next generation of AI. This dynamic is called recursive self-improvement, and it is starting to happen across the industry, including at Anthropic, as we and others have described. Left unchecked, it could outrun our ability to understand and control these systems, and so must be pursued very carefully, if at all.”
