Amazing that Jürgen Schmidhuber gave this talk back in 2012, months before AlexNet paper was published. In 2012, many things he discussed, people just considered to be funny and a joke, but the same talk now would be considered at the center of AI debate and controversy. Full talk:

New Paper! Darwin Godel Machine: Open-Ended Evolution of Self-Improving Agents A longstanding goal of AI research has been the creation of AI that can learn indefinitely. One path toward that goal is an AI that improves itself by rewriting its own code, including any code responsible for learning. That idea, known as a Gödel Machine, proposed by Jürgen Schmidhuber over two decades ago, is a hypothetical self-improving AI. It optimally solves problems by recursively rewriting its own code when it can mathematically prove a better strategy, making it a key concept in meta-learning or “learning to learn.” While the theoretical Gödel Machine promised provably beneficial self-modifications, its realization relied on an impractical assumption: that the AI could mathematically prove that a proposed change in its own code would yield a net improvement before adopting it. Sakana AI, in collaboration with Jeff Clune’s lab at UBC, proposes something more feasible: a system that harnesses the principles of open-ended algorithms like Darwinian evolution to search for improvements that empirically improve performance. We call the result the Darwin Gödel Machine. DGMs leverage foundation models to propose code improvements, and use recent innovations in open-ended algorithms to search for a growing library of diverse, high-quality AI agents. Applied to practical tasks, we implemented Darwin Gödel Machine as a self-improving coding agent that rewrites its own code to improve performance on programming tasks. It creates various self-improvements, such as a patch validation step, better file viewing, enhanced editing tools, generating and ranking multiple solutions to choose the best one, and adding a history of what has been tried before (and why it failed) when making new changes (see the attached video). We believe that Darwin Gödel Machines represent a concrete step towards AI systems that can autonomously gather their own stepping stones to learn and innovate forever!

AI is evolving, but it’s still controlled by the few. Our Core Contributor Ram explains why that needs to change and how OpenLedger, the AI blockchain, is redefining the space where models, intelligent agents, and apps can live, evolve, and thrive together. This is AI: open, fair, and owned by all.

Here we go again 🚀! Excited to announce that we're building A1Zap (YC W25) with Pennie Li and that we're in the Y Combinator W25 batch in San Francisco! What is A1Base? A1Base gives AI Agents a real world identity for work. We do that by rebuilding Twilio and Okta from the ground up, putting AI Agents first. This means developers can make AI-first agentic applications 10x easier with our API's. ⁉️ Why are we doing this? Because there's a huge torrent of new valuable companies possible with AI agents, but to get their AI Agents to users, they have to chain custom apps, chat interfaces, awkward Slack integrations, browser bots, and wrestle with Twilio’s legacy API (which is built for marketing). We solve this by providing developers with an easy to use API to interface your AI agent with humans/coworkers/users where they are in this case in Whatsapp, Slack, Teams, SMS and more) - with AI Agent features built in. These digital workers are poised to transform how we work and we're the critical infrastructure to help them interact naturally in human workflows. We're not just building another AI tool. We're creating the infrastructure that will enable AI agents to become a natural part of the workforce - handling everything from customer support to sales development to creative work. We're backed by Y Combinator and working with founding teams who share our vision. We believe that in the near future, AI Agents with human coworkers will enable us to pursue more creative and impactful work. Our mission is to help developers build AI Agents that people can partner with and rely on as trusted allies—always with a human-first mindset. If you're thinking about the Agentic future of your company reach out! If you're looking to build your first AI Agentic company - reach out too - we have some amazing open source templates to get you started on the journey. Excited to share more of what we're up to soon 🔜.
