TL;DR - Lilian Weng has returned to OpenAI to lead a high-priority recursive self-improvement team focused on models that can help train and improve their successors. Her move also highlights continued leadership attrition at Thinking Machines Lab.

  • The team will research recursive self-improvement (RSI), according to an OpenAI insider cited by the article.
  • Weng previously worked at OpenAI for nearly seven years across reinforcement learning, foundation models, safety, and post-training.
  • She left Thinking Machines Lab after citing health concerns and a preference for a more predictable, bounded role.
  • Three of Thinking Machines Lab’s six co-founders have returned to OpenAI; only Mira Murati and John Schulman reportedly remain.
