A London-based startup developing continually self-improving AI has agreed to a $410 million compute deal with AWS.

Recursive Superintelligence, which emerged from stealth in May with a valuation of $4.65 billion, has raised $650 million in investment to date and acknowledged that the agreement with AWS has absorbed most of its funding so far.
