Josh Tobin

Recursive’s Josh Tobin explained on-stage at the Cerebral Valley AI Summit why he and his co-founders left big AI labs like OpenAI, Google, and Meta to dive headfirst into researching ways to make AI models learn how to train themselves — a process called “recursive self-improvement.”

Tobin doesn’t think there’s going to be a demand crash for AI compute anytime soon — if anything, it’s only going to get worse as more AI labs launch and need the capacity alongside the tech giants.
