Recursive Superintelligence

“Startups including Inherent and Recursive Superintelligence are racing to build AI systems capable of 'recursive self-improvement'... OpenAI and Anthropic are chasing the same goal”

“Anthropic's article basically still reflects what we discussed — AI enabling AI to self-evolve and self-iterate, getting better and better. The algorithms inside are fairly standard, putting many conventional ideas together.”

“For NVIDIA, doing this benchmark is mostly to see — because AI kernels getting faster is good for NVIDIA.”

“The second place had a company called AAI, an Israeli team. Their CEO is Sasha, the former CEO of Mobileye — a very well-established company doing very strong chip-level processing. They had previously supplied chips to Tesla. It's a professional semiconductor company. Their team are professional GPU engineers. They submitted a version, but our results were 10% better.”

“Co-founder of Recursive Super Intelligence. Former principal researcher at Meta FAIR. Known for OpenGo (beat Korean professionals 20-0), work on efficiency of large models, Grokking, and theoretical understanding of neural networks.”

“I used GPT-5 to co-author a paper — after finishing, I realized the model was already basically strong enough that I didn't need to hire a research assistant. Many ideas and approaches could be realized purely through dialogue with the model. This was when I thought: maybe in 5 years I'll be replaced. Rather than be replaced, I'll start a company.”

“This company's purpose is to find a method for AI to self-evolve and self-iterate. To find new paradigms, new models, new training logic, and thereby obtain better AI.”

“Raised $650M Series A at a $4.65B valuation after only 4 months of stealth R&D.”

“Recursive Superintelligence, the Richard Socher-led startup focused on self-learning AI, has signed a $400 million compute deal with Amazon.”

“Recursive Superintelligence debuts, with $650 million.”

“Recursive Superintelligence just raised $500m with the goal of automating AI research.”

“Secured at least $500 million in a round led by GV at a $4 billion valuation.”
