Yes. First OpenAI, now Anthropic. Both of them expect self recursive development to come faster than expected

Anthropic’s serious push for recursive self-improvement
By
–
Holy moly, Anthropic is getting very serious about recursive self-improvement! One word: acceleration. Insane blog article. Tl;dr: •We are close to an AI capable of fully autonomously designing and building its own successor •They stress this isn’t here yet and isn’t

AI Research: Claude’s Improved Decision-Making Outperforms Humans
By
–
AI research is a series of next-step decisions. We looked at sessions where a human researcher took a wrong turn, showed Claude the session up to that point, and asked it what to do next. Mythos Preview improved on humans 64% of the time—up from 22% in 2024.

AI Self-Improvement Plausible if Trends Continue, But Research Judgment Lacks
By
–
None of this guarantees recursive self-improvement is on the horizon. It’s not yet clear that Claude is capable of research judgment—of choosing the right problems to work on. But if these trends continue, AI systems designing and building their own successors is plausible. This

Claude Accelerating AI Development: Recursive Self-Improvement Faster Than Expected
By
–
Our internal data shows Claude is accelerating AI development—a possible path to recursive self-improvement, or AI autonomously building a more capable successor. It’s happening faster than we thought, and the implications deserve greater attention.

OpenAI just wrote: "We also see early signs of recursive self-improvement (RSI) in today’s systems: where AI development is itself accelerated by AI. We expect this to increase competitive pressures among developers and nations, and create governance challenges that existing

Gary Marcus’s 3 Predictions: Neurosymbolic AI’s Fortune, LLMs’ Limited Profitability
By
–
Three Predictions: 1. Some form of AI, probably neurosymbolic in nature, will come that is far more economical and data- and energy-efficient than LLMs, and it will make an absolute fortune. 2. LLMs, on the other hand, will never be all that profitable (aside from the chip

ps someone did a study and found that my technical claims were 90% correct; neurosymbolic AI which I long advocated for is now finally in vogue, etc.
