RGI's mission is to build the world's first robust & recursively self-improving general intelligence. We're building the environment for intelligent systems to be able to develop in such a way where they can: - Recursively self-improve across all modifiable planes including architecture, parameters, scaffolding, etc. - Continually learn from online experiences and update its parameters while maintaining robustness against catastrophic failures. - Use its robust general intelligence of the world to acquire new skills in few or zero shots. - Use its world model to predict future states and plan via multi-step rollout. - Operate on a learned latent space that is compressed and feature-rich, including a robust latent space for reasoning.
RGI Labs is a Y Combinator company in the Summer 2021 batch. Its directory entry describes it as: Robust & recursively self-improving general intelligence. The founder listed is Channy Hong (Founder) (Y Combinator directory entry, August 12, 2021).

Is this you?
If you're behind RGI Labs: acceptance into a YC batch is one of the few weeks a young company gets looked up by people who matter — investors, other founders, press. FoxPlug turns the commits, deploys, and releases you're already making into that story automatically, so anyone who looks finds something current. GetFoxChat puts a guide on your own site so the people YC's own page just sent you don't read one line and leave.
