Humanity’s Last Invention — Richard Socher of Recursive
Article image or reusable cover for Latent Space
Richard Socher, founder of Recursive, believes the next major step for AI is recursive self-improvement — systems that can automate and accelerate their own development.
His vision is a "Eureka Machine" that can speed up both AI research and scientific discovery broadly. Recursive has assembled researchers in self-improving agents and raised $4.65 billion. Early results show systems solving optimization problems faster than humans and discovering improvements in NVIDIA GPU code without specialist teams. Socher argues that AI research currently taking thousands of people and years could be compressed into weeks.
