Anthropic's IPO Filing Warns It May Be 'Imminently' Close to RSI

Anthropic's S-1A filing with the SEC indicates the company's internal estimates suggest future models may "imminently" meet its definition of recursive self-improvement (RSI), where AI autonomously improves its training. However, current models have not crossed this threshold. Published measurements show Claude assists in 26% of AI research tasks, but works fully autonomously in zero areas. While AI shows promise in improving research, the architect role remains human, supporting a staircase of human-driven breakthroughs rather than self-sustaining AI.
