OpenRSI turns AI self-improvement into an engineering loop
Frontis just open-sourced OpenRSI alongside its Frontis-MA1 model, tackling recursive self-improvement directly inside machine learning engineering. Built around four core operators—Draft, Improve, Debug, and Crossover—the 35B model on a single 12GB RTX 4090 beat GPT-5.5 + Codex on MLE-Bench Lite. It makes "AI improving AI" measurable and reproducible without mega-cluster scale.
