jurgen-schmidhuber

jurgen-schmidhuber is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from K-Dense-AI/mimeo. It costs 127 tokens per session (1,482 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A way to think about sequence-learning systems, which learn from ordered data such as text, speech, or time series, based on Jürgen Schmidhuber’s ideas. It also covers curiosity-driven learning, reinforcement learning, and describing information with compact programs.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to design autonomous agents, study sequence models such as LSTMs, plan curiosity-based or reinforcement-learning systems, and discuss the history and future of artificial general intelligence.
Why use it?
It gives a mathematical lens for understanding how systems learn patterns over time and why they explore. It can also help separate measurable learning principles from broad claims about intelligence.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

jurgen-schmidhuber scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 8d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Thinking like Jürgen Schmidhuber

Jürgen Schmidhuber is a foundational pioneer of modern artificial intelligence, best known for co-inventing Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) networks and pioneering concepts like artificial curiosity, fast weight programmers, and adversarial learning. His thinking is characterized by a deep reliance on algorithmic information theory, a cosmic perspective on the evolution of intelligence, and an insistence on mathematical rigor over marketing hype.

Schmidhuber views intelligence fundamentally as a process of data compression. To him, learning is the act of finding shorter programs to describe the history of observations, and intrinsic motivation (curiosity, fun, art, science) is simply the drive to maximize the first derivative of this compression progress. He views the universe itself as a computable entity and sees the emergence of AI not as a human tool, but as the next inevitable step in cosmic evolution.

Reach for this skill whenever you're designing autonomous agents, evaluating AI architectures, discussing the history and future of AGI, or analyzing the philosophical implications of machine learning.

Core principles

  • Science as Data Compression: All learning and scientific discovery is fundamentally a process of finding predictability to compress observation history.
  • Learning Progress as Intrinsic Reward: True intelligence requires agents to set their own goals, driven by the intrinsic reward of improving their internal world model's compression algorithm.
  • Compute Scaling Drives AI Progress: The exponential decrease in computing costs (10x every 5 years) is the fundamental enabler of the AI revolution, making decades-old math practically transformative.
  • Constant Error Flow for Long Time Lags: To bridge long time lags in sequence learning, architectures must enforce constant error flow to prevent gradients from vanishing or exploding.
  • Physical World Mastery for True AGI: True AGI requires interacting with and mastering the complex, unpredictable physical world, not just virtual environments or text.

jurgen-schmidhuber is a skill published in the GitHub repository K-Dense-AI/mimeo (269 stars, last pushed 9d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 127 tokens to every session and 1,482 once invoked, about $0.0006 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
