Recursive Language Models: AI Learned to Stop Reading and Start Coding

About this lesson

MIT researchers introduced a radical idea: instead of cramming documents into a context window, let the AI write Python code to explore its own data. We break down how Recursive LLMs work, why they beat 100x larger models on long-context tasks, and the "Think, But Don't Overthink" paradox. Plus: PKGPT's pharmaceutical breakthroughs, the native RLM-Qwen3-8B model, and why recursion depth 2 causes a catastrophic cost explosion.
