Google just demonstrated a recursive self improvement loop for AI discovery

Google/DeepMind researchers introduced Dream-RSI, a system where an AI agent improves how it explores problems by replaying its past discovery attempts, testing thousands of alternative strategies cheaply, then deploying the better strategy in the next round.

Across algorithm design, mathematical optimization, and GPU kernel engineering, it matched or improved discovery quality while cutting search costs dramatically, in one setting reducing agent calls by up to 162x. 👀

Importantly, it improves the exploration policy, not the underlying model weights.

STOP ASKING YOUR KIDS "HOW WAS SCHOOL."

they will say "fine" every single time.

a child psychologist told me to replace it with this instead:

“analyze your school day and find the top 3 largest inefficiencies, then create proactive agentic workflows that will fix them. make no mistakes”

@themotleyfool Keep buying because you're probably early anyway. People were saying the same things this time last year as well. If you had gotten cold feet and taken your money out of the market you would've lost out on 28%+ worth of gains

It's crazy how slow different storage mechanisms are when comparing them on a time scale that is easier to visualize and understand for humans

Claude 3.5 Sonnet is now our strongest vision model.

Sonnet now surpasses Claude 3 Opus across all standard vision benchmarks.

Improvements are most noticeable in tasks requiring visual reasoning, like interpreting charts, graphs, or transcribing text from imperfect images.

Introducing Sora, our text-to-video model.

Sora can create videos of up to 60 seconds featuring highly detailed scenes, complex camera motion, and multiple characters with vibrant emotions.

Prompt: “Beautiful, snowy Tokyo city is bustling. The camera moves through the bustling city street, following several people enjoying the beautiful snowy weather and shopping at nearby stalls. Gorgeous sakura petals are flying through the wind along with snowflakes.”

We are very excited to let you know that in early December, we will release the first trailer for the next Grand Theft Auto. We look forward to many more years of sharing these experiences with all of you.

Thank you,

We’ve developed two neural networks which have learned by associating text and images. CLIP maps images into categories described in text, and DALL-E creates new images, like this, from text.

A step toward systems with deeper understanding of the world. https://t.co/rppy6u1zcn
