The speaker says applying the improved algorithm to a language-model inference system would make it faster and could count as one step of recursive self-improvement, although he does not think this was tested.

“you can argue it managed to improve itself. Like if you apply that back to the AI system that...”

“actually doing the like inference of the language models like you essentially make it faster so we think”

“You can argue that's like one step of recursive self-improvement, although we don't know because I don't think they actually test it.”
