Sidney Pontes-Filho talks about critical neural cellular automata at the #DistributedGhost2023 workshop at ALIFE Conference 2025. Criticality rules!

If your robot has interesting body dynamics and you don't know what controller to use, we've got you covered 🤖💥 In our latest work, we experiment on soft robots with different types of neural controllers and assess performance but also behaviors🧠 👉🏻 giorgia-nadizar.github.io/#/publications…

Transformer²: Self-adaptive LLMs arxiv.org/abs/2501.06252 This new paper from Sakana AI shows the power of an LLM that can self-adapt its weights to its environment. I think in the future, the line between “pre-training” and “post-training” will be gone, and our models and
