This is what we ask ourselves in our latest paper (arxiv.org/abs/2508.02197), where we solve Minigrid environments with Active Inference. (Spoiler, it works!) Code available at github.com/biaslab/EFEasV… Done together with @mlmykola , @ThijsvdLaar and @bertdv0

What's even nicer: because our method injects priors locally, everything still works within @ReactiveBayes ' RxInfer.jl using message passing. Special thanks to my colleagues at @LazyDynamics for making this possible!

In Active Inference, a lot of time is spent on computing Expected Free Energy. What if we could tweak the generative model such that EFE can be minimised with traditional variational inference methods?

Probabilistic modeling in Julia just got smoother. With RxInfer + GraphPPL, you write models like regular code — loops, functions, submodels — and it handles the inference under the hood. From simple regressions to massive hierarchies. Check it out 👇 examples.rxinfer.com

Bayesian Inference in the browser? Yup. With new RxInfer TypeScript SDK, enabling real-time, client-side probabilistic reasoning. Think: adaptive UIs, privacy-first personalization and more. Interested in bringing Bayesian intelligence to the frontend? Let's talk. #RxInfer #WebAI

Did you know? 🤔 You can optimize parameters in RxInfer.jl using Optim.jl! Check out our latest example: examples.rxinfer.com/categories/adv… #JuliaLang #RxInfer #MachineLearning #BayesianInference
