Google Has Achieved RSI

My Twitter feed is flooded with claims that Google has achieved recursive self-improvement (RSI).I am curious how people here interpret this. Does what Google has demonstrated actually qualify as RSI in the stronger sense of an AI system improving the process by which future versions of itself are developed, or is “RSI” being used too loosely?

Re:DeepSeek launches v4.1 flash, postpones v4 Pro discontinuation on Thursday September 10, 2026 @06:18AM (#49641237)
I m not sure I would describe this as blanket win over GPT-5.6 Sol. In DeepSeek’s own table, V4.1 Flash is ahead on Terminal-Bench 2.1, DeepSWE, NL2Repo, and AutomationBench, but it is behind on GPQA Diamond, Terminal-Bench 3.0 and 4.0, and SEC-Bench Pro.

The architecture is probably part of the explanation for the lower cost and faster inference. DeepSeek says V4.1 Flash uses a new Causal Encoder–Decoder design, with 8B active parameters for input processing and 16B for decoding, along with much smaller KV caches.

But I hope it is just not benchmaxxed and genuinely good model

It is pretty funny that they recently announced about mythos which possess cybersecurity threat and then after some days, the claude code leaked. I think we know the culprit
