Could Anthropic achieve recursive self-improvement AI before OpenAI?

The Information asks whether Anthropic will achieve recursive self-improvement AI before OpenAI and quotes Vals AI co-founder Rayan Krishnan as thinking it will. He projects that models could start to meet human-level researchers by August 2027 if the past year's pace of releases continues. He also thinks OpenAI's timeline for recursive self-improvement is “a little bit longer.”
