Recursive Superintelligence has signed a multi-year, $410 million compute agreement with AWS.

This deal accounts for most of Recursive’s recent $650 million funding round. Socher describes it as his smallest deal so far.

AWS is not taking an equity stake. The two companies will work together to build AI research infrastructure.

Recursive Superintelligence, an AI lab focused on self-improving systems, has signed a multi-year, $410 million agreement with Amazon Web Services to run its automated research platform on AWS.

“Partnering with AWS gives us the infrastructure to run self-improving AI research at a scale very few teams in the world are capable of. We’ve already shown our automated AI research system can outperform years of human optimisation. As our research loops run autonomously, that advantage will compound. We’re excited to partner with AWS and make our system and its infrastructure the fastest at invention generation,” says Richard Socher, chief executive and co-founder of Recursive.
