TLDR
Sakana AI announced that Jürgen Schmidhuber is joining as chief scientific advisor and will help guide its Recursive Self-Improvement (RSI) Lab.
The company says it is unifying projects including the Darwin Gödel Machine and The AI Scientist around a mission of adaptive AI systems that collectively improve themselves. Its work includes world models that agents can plan inside and systems that design and run their own experiments.
Sakana argues recursive self-improvement should enable more efficient AI systems, not be confined to hyperscale computing clusters. It is recruiting research scientists and engineers in Tokyo.
