Alibaba Cloud's Apsara Conference roadmap highlights RSI (recursive self-improvement) claims: over a month of fully automated runs spanning pipeline design, data validation, experimentation and error diagnosis, Qwen3.8-Max completed 33 iterative cycles and lifted its Artificial Analysis score from 40 to 45 via autonomous training optimisation and post-training. Skeptic teortaxesTex estimates this implies a 2.4T-parameter, 95-epoch model and mocks the RSI framing. The roadmap also covers new in-house AI chips, Qwen 4 in training with a future 10T-parameter scale, an agentic cloud, and a mobile AI agent platform.
