Recursive just came out of stealth, and the team has been cooking 🔥 Our first results: an automated AI research system that can improve AI across 3 very different settings across training and GPU kernel optimization. recursive.com/articles/first…

Awesome real-world deployments of pieces of our auto-research system - this time showing that our reward hacking judge apparatus can find holes in production OSS libraries!

A fun small win for automated research: We found and helped fix some edge cases that could affect inference performance in vLLM and SGLang. In our last blog post, we described a reward hacking judge we developed for performance optimization tasks. While applying the judge to

1/ What do RL, LLMs and evolutionary algorithms have in common? Give them an objective and they find a loophole - like a Pokemon agent rewarded for exploring that learned to stand still and watch animated flowers. AI Finds A Way collects 26 such cases: arxiv.org/abs/2608.23875

Excited to share “AI Finds a Way.” 🦖 🦕✨ 🤖 AI can be surprisingly creative, outsmarting the researchers who use it. That can lead to scientific breakthroughs, superhuman capabilities, and generating new knowledge. Such creativity can also be mischievous, raising safety

some news: I've joined @Recursive_SI as a member of the founding team in London. We are building safe, recursively self-improving intelligence. So excited about our discoveries so far and even more so about everything that lies ahead.

Today we have come out of stealth @Recursive_SI 🥷 Excited to build with an incredible team in London and SF joining many threads I've been lucky to work on: AI Scientists, agentic self-improvement and open-endedness towards systems that can perform research on themselves! 🧑‍🔬
