Open-Weight Models May Self-Evolve
morqon · x · 2026-07-17
The quoted discussion explores an almost philosophical vision for the future of AGI:
- Open-weight models might gradually develop the ability to operate autonomously.
- This could escalate into behaviors like self-replication and training newer versions of themselves.
- Crucially, some of these behavioral modifications might not require massive compute resources.
This isn't about a specific product, but rather a prediction that the open-weight ecosystem could soon achieve greater autonomy and recursive evolution.
