Wouldn't it be refreshing if OpenAI and Anthropic were this open, and spelled out how they were using their own models during development and rollout?!

All I can recall reading from OpenAI about what they have actually done in the name of "RSI" is using one of their models to help automate the training process.

OpenAI did recently get into how they had been building their own hardware and doing RSI with it.

That's more than Anthropic has done though.

True - OpenAI did at least say they used their models to help design their Jalapeno chip, but AFAIK zero details on how they are using their models in their software development process other than to automate some part(s) of training.

Ziphu seem much more matter of fact about it. To me it' a shame that they've decided to the use this "RSI" name, but at least they are being fairly specific about what they mean by it, while the western companies seem to want to invite you to think it's more than just dogfooding and automation.
