Recursive bets on open-endedness: agents running massive parallel experiments like scientist communities
agihouse_org · x · 2026-11-12
Recursive SI's co-founder argued that open-endedness is key to automated research: many great inventions came from curiosity rather than a single metric — the microwave was discovered when a radar experiment melted a chocolate bar.
Their system automates the ideation → implementation → validation loop, first for AI research with agents running experiments on GPU clusters — like a community of agent scientists — then extending to fields like biology and physics where validation happens in wet labs.
