AIMPACT update, May 23 (UTC+8): AI startup Recursive has officially emerged from stealth, announcing a $650 million funding round with a $4.65 billion valuation, led by GV (Google Ventures) and Greycroft, with participation from AMD Ventures and Nvidia. This funding round was previously reported by the Financial Times in April at over $500 million. Recursive posits that "recursive self-improvement is the fastest path to superintelligence" and plans to begin by building AI that improves AI, then extend this approach to other scientific domains. Co-founder Tim Rocktäschel draws on Stanisław Lem’s concept of the "information barrier," aiming to surpass the critical point where human understanding can no longer keep pace with accelerating knowledge growth by fully automating AI research itself. The company is led by Richard Socher (formerly of Salesforce) and Tim Rocktäschel (formerly of Google DeepMind), with team members from OpenAI, Meta, and Uber AI. The company has not yet released any specific technological成果.
