Recursive Self-Improvement: from Auto Research to Superintelligence — Richard Socher, Recursive
Recursive is automating AI research itself, with a system that beat every human and agent on Karpathy’s nanochat in under two days and topped all but a handful of CUDA kernels without deep CUDA experts.The efficiency prize is material—swyx estimates a 10% saving on a billion-dollar cluster at $100 million—but compute, capital, demand and unresolved reward-hacking risks could constrain the pace of takeoff.

AI is shifting toward telecom-like infrastructure, pushing durable value toward customer access, proprietary data loops, and model-agnostic trust layers.Socher sees digital superintelligence potentially arriving within “a year and a half to two years,” while AI-for-science and agent adoption expand opportunity alongside valuation, energy, privacy, and autonomy risks.
