AI is now doing our AI research. At Recursive we set out to build recursive self-improving superintelligence (RSI) to automate knowledge discovery. The best way to expand humanity’s knowledge is through the scientific method. RSI leads to better ideas, explanations and inventions which lead to better RSI. Automating the scientific method requires closing the loop between ideation, implementation and validation, and being able to run it over extended periods of time. Today, we are excited to share the first outputs of Recursive’s automated open-ended discovery system. To be clear, this system is merely a milestone towards RSI, a v0.1 of what I sometimes call the “Eureka Machine”. It is one program that you can point at any hard problem and get useful inventions out. Though it’s still very early, we've run it on three AI tasks and achieved state-of-the-art results on all three. These results demonstrate that even this early version of the system can solve a variety of autoresearch problems in AI and improve over prior state of the art. Concretely, it did this on the community benchmarks NanoGPT speedrun, NanoChat, and NVIDIA's Sol-ExecBench. AI is code and AI can code. The code and ideas that lead to these results were not invented by our team but by the AI system itself. To do RSI safely, we need to investigate its inventions. That's best done transparently with the community. @Recursive_SI we are open-sourcing the system’s discoveries, demonstrating that it finds creative and benign solutions instead of focusing on obvious optimizations or dangerous ideas.

BUKAYO YOU DID IT ❤️

How good is god man

Happy dance @thulme news.sky.com/story/arsenal-l…

Introducing Starchild-1 from @odysseyml, the first ever real-time multimodal world model. This a model that can generate interactive simulations of the world that you can—for the first time ever—hear. Starchild-1 represents a big step towards a general-purpose world simulator.

It was such a privilege to join cofounders, @_rockt and Alexey Dosovitskiy, and a phenomenal team to celebrate @Recursive_SI’s launch and $650m raise last night. I have been struck by Tim’s exceptional ambition, experience and humility in the last few months. I am delighted he and team will be pushing the frontier of AI right here in the UK 🇬🇧

NYT Article on @Recursive_SI! nytimes.com/2026/05/13/techn…

Thrilled to share that we founded Recursive to create AI that safely conducts experiments on how to improve itself in an open-ended process of endless, automated scientific discovery. As I wrote in my 2019 AI-generating algorithms paper, this will likely be the fastest path to superintelligence. Our work since has shown the power of this approach. Excited to scale up and improve upon ideas like the Darwin Gödel Machine, HyperAgents, ADAS, OMNI, ALMA, The AI Scientist, PromptBreeder, Rainbow Teaming, Automated Capability Discovery, and other work on open-ended and AI-generating algorithms. We’ve assembled a dream team of researchers and significant resources to pursue this vision. My amazing co-founders are pictured here, and we have an all-star team of founding members (we’re over 25 and growing). Please join us if you are interested! Follow our progress @Recursive_SI

Some news: I’ve moved to London to join @Recursive_SI! 🚀 I'm excited to be building with this incredible team on a mission of recursive self-improvement and open-endedness, aiming to ultimately automate scientific discovery. 🧑‍🔬

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.

We're excited to co-lead @Recursive_SI's early funding Last week I sat down with Recursive's CEO @RichardSocher to hear about their vision for a recursive "Eureka machine" to rewrite its own code and automate scientific discovery. It is an incredible approach to chasing the next genuine step-function S-curve, led by a world-class team with deep humility.

I’ve always believed the No.1 application of AI should be to improve human health. That work started with AlphaFold, and now at @IsomorphicLabs with the mission to reimagine drug discovery and one day solve all disease! We are turbocharging that goal with $2.1B in new funding.

We’re excited to co-lead the Series E for @SierraPlatform! In less than 3 years, @btaylor and @claybavor have led Sierra to historic progress at the AI application layer, helping the world’s largest brands transform their customer experiences. Thrilled to back the team as they scale.

I haven’t typed a message in months. Today, we’re launching what replaced it: Essential Voice. Hold the Essential Key and speak. Your words turn into ready-to-use writing — without the ums, stutters or messy transcripts. I type at ~50 wpm. I speak at ~150. Essential Voice supports 100 languages, auto-detects what you’re saying, and works directly inside Nothing OS. No extra app. No overlay. Voice will be a much bigger part of how we use technology. This is the beginning. Live now on Phone (3). Phone (4a) Pro later this month. Phone (4a) in early May.

Life with ALS or a spinal cord injury often means navigating a gradual or sudden loss of independence. Neuralink aims to restore autonomy to those with unmet medical needs—starting with device control and communication, and expanding toward vision and other applications.
