Self-Improving AI Startup Recursive AI Valued at $4.65B

Recursive came out of stealth at a $4.65 billion valuation, building AI that runs experiments on safe self-improvement, with backers including Google Ventures, Greycroft, Nvidia, and AMD Ventures.

Why it matters: HKR-H/K/R all pass: Bloomberg gives a $4.65B valuation and named backers, with a self-improving AI safety angle. No model capability, experiment result, or product path is disclosed, so it stays below 85.
