RSI-Anything: Unlocking Recursive Self-Improvement with World Models
TLDR
RSI-Anything uses predictive world models for recursive self-improvement, showing gains across code repair, GUI tasks, lab planning, and reaction optimization.
Reasoning
The paper proposes a domain-general RSI framework with clear empirical improvements across multiple tasks, which is a strength. However, the abstract omits methodological depth and limitations, and external validation or reproducibility details are not stated.

Innovations
- Introduces RSI-Anything, a domain-general recursive self-improvement framework built on JEPA-Anything
- Uses predictive world models to guide both action selection and learning-data selection
- Uses observed feedback to drive policy or workflow improvement and conditional world-model adaptation
- Uses component and compatibility checks to govern retention of updated policy-model pairs
Methodology
RSI-Anything is a domain-general framework built on JEPA-Anything that uses predictive world models to guide action and learning-data selection. Observed feedback drives policy or workflow improvement and conditional world-model adaptation, while component and compatibility checks govern retention of updated policy-model pairs. The framework is evaluated across code repair, GUI tasks, laboratory planning, reaction optimization, and an end-to-end immune-science application.
Key Results
In code repair, success increased from 26.3% with a static verifier to 29.2% with predictive selection and 31.2% after world-model adaptation; GUI evaluations showed higher task completion with average actions decreasing by 39.4%. Laboratory-planning scores more than doubled from 21.80% to 46.01% across five policy versions, and reaction optimization achieved 96.15% mean best observed yield versus 82.16% for Bayesian optimization under the same 40-experiment budget.
Limitations
- External feedback is costly.
- World-model predictions may become unreliable as policies evolve.
