OpenAI releases data on models accelerating research, urging industry transparency on RSI

OpenAI has released data and a write-up on how its models are accelerating internal research, months in the making, with contributions from safety and policy team members including Sandhini Agarwal, Tejal Patwardhan, and Ronnie Chatterji.
The core claim: recursive self-improvement may be the most important contributor to AI capabilities over the next few years, but by default this process is only visible inside a few frontier labs. The authors argue transparency is more urgent than ever to inform public debate on whether and how to pace model development, and call on other AI companies to disclose similar data.
