About RSI
RSI (Recursive Self-Improvement) refers to systems using their own outputs to improve subsequent iterations, including prompts, tool usage, code, evaluations, or training recipes.
In 2026, bounded, layered self-improvement has been reported; complete, unconstrained RSI designing next-generation frontier models has not yet occurred.
Three-round songwriting iteration serves merely as an applied demonstration.
This session does not replace the “AI-Native Agent Security and Compliance” series. The next lecture in the security series is on September 19.
