A useful layer for helping AI agents understand your data. @RUC1937 developed open-source EvoOntology. It builds a searchable guide to the data – an ontology that connects business concepts to the actual data. Then it updates this guide based on the agent’s task history. Here is how it works: EvoOntology is "agent-first". A builder agent examines real tasks and data sources to create the initial guide (ontology). It records definitions, field mappings, relationships, and business rules, with evidence from the data to support them. This guide has three layers: - Schema: defines concepts and relationships the guide can represent. - Content: holds definitions, links to the underlying data, and rules. - Tools: let the agent search and use the guide as needed to find and retrieve the right data. The agent searches the guide through MCP tools instead of receiving prompts. As the agent completes tasks, EvoOntology reviews its attempts and proposes changes to the guide. Each change is tested against the previous version and is kept only if the score improves by the required amount. The average gains are impressive: - Multi-source research: +17.8 percentage points in accuracy. - Insight mining: +1.9 points overall. - Data retrieval: +7.4 points in query accuracy and +8.6 in the execution-efficiency score. And some more features – EvoOntology is open-source, with Claude Code and Codex plugins for building, updating, and visualizing that guide.

What is recursive about Recursive Self-Improvement (RSI)? Not every case of AI improving AI is truly recursive. If a model edits some code and humans test the result, the loop repeats - but the loop itself stays the same. The recursion appears as more parts of that loop become editable: 1. AI improves a model or algorithm. It modifies code, kernels or training methods. In AI4AI-Bench, agents get several hours to change real training algorithms, which are then trained again from scratch. 2. AI improves how it searches. It chooses strategies, experiments and where to spend more compute. 3. AI creates useful experience. It decides what it needs to learn and uses its experiments in the next round. 4. AI adapts the research environment. It changes the tools and workflows used to produce improvements. 5. AI improves the improvement process itself. It changes how it searches, experiments and evaluates progress, and uses that new process in the next round. These levels of autonomy were mentioned in "The Last AI Built by Humans" paper. And "Recursive Criticality" adds another point: even fast, highly automated AI development is not necessarily RSI if parts of the improvement loop remain fixed. The recursive part is not that the loop runs again. It is that the loop itself becomes something AI can change. We've made a lot of guides which will give you a real understanding of RSI

There’s so much from this week in AI that I want to show you – and it all connects to something I’m especially excited about: AI’s growing ability to understand and act in the world: • Odyssey-3 – Connects world models to robot controls, with demos showing recovery from dropped objects and missed grasps. • Omni World Model – It's a planned model to understand scenes, generate them, and act. • Helix 2.5 – Tackles household tasks in 30 unfamiliar homes. Human-behavior pretraining lifts success from 9% to 56%. • Agility’s Digit 5 – Brings more safety systems onboard to help robots work around people without a fence between. • Jev – Answers constrained questions with probabilities in 70-500 milliseconds. This opens up faster checks and decisions for agents. • DeepMind Institute – Opens discussion: If AGI is getting closer, what should we do with it, and who gets a say? I unpack all of this and even more in my new video, with plenty of details and insights that didn’t fit a text. Hope, you'll find something inspiring there ↓

San Francisco is precious by moments like this. Thank you, Sarah and swyx for organizing this dinner: amazing group of people, insightful conversations

I explored @typesafeai's Jev in a way even your grandma can understand. And tested it with Codex (something anyone can do). So if you already know everything about Jev, forward this video to someone less techy to make sure you’re on the same page.

I watched this video on YouTube and there is a comment that really makes it shine: "I really love the work World Labs is doing. As a Ugandan Architect I am looking forward to the application of world model technology in developing cities." That type of AI in real world ideas is always so inspiring @nvidia @theworldlabs
