Chaubard: Recursive models discover problem-solving strategies without human teacher forcing
Francois Chaubard · Recursion Is The Next Scaling Law In AI · Y Combinator · May 1, 2026 · at 27:20
Francois Chauvard discusses how recursive models solve problems like Sudoku by iterating in latent memory rather than using step-by-step chain-of-thought data.

“That's the most important part, is that if we had Sudoku, and we know how to solve Sudoku, because like we were just, you know, dumb homo sapiens that didn't know how to solve Sudoku, like it would just have solved it. And that's why it's cool, because it actually is able to discover things without being teacher forced via chain of thought.”

“There is no pre-training at all. This starts from, like, literally Tagula-Rasa weights, and it can outperform at that time, if we go back, you know, we had O-three, if you remember back, way back when. And it, O-three gets zero. Literally zero, and this got, l…”
Chaubard predicts running recursive reasoning models inside giant LLM latent spaces

Chaubard: AI models are recursively distilling into one another, Claude into Kimi
“What I think is kind of happening right now, but like clawed kind of mother birds into, Kimmy too, and then now Kimmy too is post-training thinking machines, and so it just keeps going and going.”
