“Automating the Search for Artificial Life With Foundation Models” is now published in the Artificial Life Journal! 🦎🧠
Article: direct.mit.edu/artl/article/3…
ASAL is a method using foundation models to automate the discovery of new artificial lifeforms, accelerating ALIFE research.
We are excited to highlight @SakanaAILabs as a Gold Sponsor of #ALIFE2025!
@SakanaAILabs is doing groundbreaking work in nature-inspired intelligence, collective models, and automated scientific discovery. Their involvement enriches #ALIFE in multiple ways:

If you’re struggling to understand what people mean when they say things like “truly understand,” it boils down to Unified Factored Representation (UFR). That’s the foundation behind the slippery intuition.

🗜️Compress is (or at least demonstrates) intelligence🧠
Starting with a picture of me and prompting Gemini with "Create an exact replica of this image, don't change a thing." yields this quite bizarre progression!
Does this seem like 🧠 or 😂 to you? This was a fun experiment!
I'm surprised this post didn't get more attention. Most papers arguing we are far from AGI just show LLMs failing on tasks too big for their context window. Sergey identifies something more fundamental: while LLMs learned to mimic intelligence from internet data, they never had…

We’re excited to announce that we have signed a comprehensive partnership agreement with MUFG Bank, the largest bank in Japan.
MUFG Bank, which has its roots from the 1870s, as Japan…
Open science is truly wonderful. After releasing out work on Continuous Thought Machines (pub.sakana.ai/ctm/), the community discussions and suggestions have been so helpful, forthright, and gratifying.
