Why it matters
Recursive self-improvement is already producing measurable wins in narrow loops — accuracy gains, architecture search, faster CUDA kernels — which is the concrete evidence base behind claims about automating research.
Terms in this piece · Glossary
AI agent — An AI system that doesn't just answer once but works toward a goal in a loop — taking actions, reading the results, and deciding what to do next.
grounding — Tying a model's answers to checkable sources — retrieved documents, live data, tool results — instead of letting it answer from memory alone.
