Sudden report: DeepMind achieves RSI, three-letter acronym ignites crypto community
Insight Beating AI Flash News: The AI community is abuzz with rumors that Google DeepMind has achieved RSI. RSI stands for Recursive Self-Improvement, widely regarded as a critical step toward superintelligence. AI systems can independently refine training methods, code, and models to build stronger next-generation versions, which then undergo further upgrades. If fully realized, AI development could enter a self-accelerating cycle.
The rumor originated when leaker account lyra sent Google DeepMind a message reading "huge congRatulationS Indeed!", with three capitalized letters spelling out RSI. Shortly after, user Lentils shared an alleged internal model list featuring "rsi-model-liverl-le". He also claimed Google has 10 slots for training models of the same series, though no corresponding screenshots were provided.
The rumor is not entirely unfounded. Reuters reported in August that Google co-founder Sergey Brin had tasked DeepMind with accelerating Gemini development and prioritizing recursive self-improvement. DeepMind’s official report in June also listed "recursive improvement" as one of four potential paths from AGI to ASI.

Long.xyz launches pre-market trading contracts for OpenAI and Anthropic, supporting up to 5x leverage.
Meme coin launch platform LONG has announced the launch of Pre-IPO trading pairs for OpenAI and Anthropic, with perpetual contract infrastructure provided by Lighter. Long.xyz stated that the platform has established paired liquidity pools for OpenAI, Anthropic, and NVIDIA, with 1x leverage for OpenAI and Anthropic, and 3x leverage for NVIDIA. For the early market, the platform adopts a customized liquidity design to gradually expand liquidity with lower market depth. It is important to note that Pre-IPO contracts do not represent actual ownership of OpenAI or Anthropic shares, but rather track the valuation expectations of these private companies. Lighter’s current OpenAI and Anthropic contracts support a maximum leverage of 5x and use an internal pricing mechanism. Long.xyz emphasized that Pre-IPO trading is still in the experimental stage, and the platform will gradually adjust related products based on market performance. Recent rising expectations for OpenAI and Anthropic’s IPOs have also driven a rapid increase in such on-chain pre-IPO trading products. A new on-chain trading format has emerged: tokenized long positions paired with Memecoins to offer speculative exposure, an upgraded version of the earlier gameplay where stock tokens like NVDA were paired with Memecoins. However, related tokens are highly volatile and carry significant uncertainty, so users should exercise caution when investing.
