About rekursiv.ai
We're scaling self-improving AI scientist teams to ideate/experiment/discover, generating new knowledge autonomously. Their discoveries reduced ARC-1/2 costs by 10,000× while maintaining state-of-the-art accuracy and yielded material advances on combinatorial ML problems. We believe that AI is bounded not by compute, but ideas. Scaling to millions of sessions of discovery enables leveraging its own discoveries and presents a novel training source capable of ushering a new era of self-reliant foundational models.
