Anthropic warns that it’s very close to RSI capability, aka self-building AI
TL;DR
RSI is the point at which AI grows so good at training itself that it spawns a dramatic acceleration of AI capabilities. To the AI doomers, RSI represents the cataclysm from which there is no return.

Nauti's Take
For small teams, the first practical question is whether their agents can run evaluation and training loops reliably. Test one bounded workflow to see whether the system can detect errors, reproduce improvement tests, and log every change for review.
Until that baseline works, RSI belongs on the watchlist, not in the architecture plan.
