OpenAI researcher Kenneth Liu (@kliu128) announced that OpenAI is releasing data on models accelerating research internally.
- Core claim: Recursive self-improvement (RSI) could be the most important contributor to AI capabilities over the next few years, but by default it is only visible inside frontier labs.
- OpenAI is sharing multiple metrics of internal AI agent use to inform public discussion on whether and how to pace model development.
- The author calls on other AI companies to publish comparable data.
DeepMind researcher Tomasz Korbak amplified it: "for better or worse, RSI has already started and the public should know now."
