We’ve been misled by the promise of "infinite" context windows: new AI research proves that "Context Rot" is destroying reasoning capabilities as inputs scale.
But a groundbreaking paper from MIT introduces a radical solution: Recursive Language Models (RLMs). Instead of blindly force-feeding data into a single Transformer, RLMs act as a Neurosymbolic Operating System, writing Python code to mechanically split massive datasets and recursively "spawn" fresh model instances to process them.
The result is a staggering leap in performance: on quadratic complexity tasks where base GPT-5 scores below 0.1%, the RLM(GPT-5) achieves 58%.
In this video, I deconstruct how this "Inference-Time Scaling" works (explanation) and why it signals the end of static LLMs as we know them.
