Reddit debate: when will LLMs start bootstrapping themselves into the next model
ECrispy · reddit · 2026-09-26
A Reddit thread asks when LLMs will begin bootstrapping themselves to generate the next generation of models. The author argues that milestone would mark the true start of a singularity—exponential progress no longer dependent on humans. Today massive training, supervision and RLHF are still required, but newer architectures are likely already guided by current models, as with all code. The thread solicits thoughts and reading recommendations.
