Yuandong Tian and Seven Co-Founders Launch Recursive Superintelligence at $4.65B Valuation

赌自己会失业！田渊栋八人天团狂揽44亿元，杀入「递归进化」赛道

Recursive Superintelligence, founded by Yuandong Tian and seven other AI researchers, has a 25-person team, $650 million in funding, and a $4.65 billion valuation, with a stated goal to automate evaluation, data filtering, training, post-training, and research-direction selection.

Why it matters: All three HKR axes pass: a $650M raise at a $4.65B valuation for a 25-person recursive-improvement startup is not routine funding. The stated target spans evals, data selection, training, post-training, and research selection.
