GPT-Astra and Jalapeño are performing recursive self-improvement (RSI), optimizing hardware and software iteratively. Implementations by GPT-Astra are 50%-80% faster than human AI researcher implementations for attention and MoE blocks. The author suggests this capability can extend to algorithmic optimizations.
