AI Improves at Improving Itself Using an Evolutionary Trick. My latest for IEEE Spectrum, on research by Jenny Zhang et al (University of British Columbia, Sakana AI). Thanks also Jürgen Schmidhuber, Zhengyao Jiang. Link in reply.

Matthew Hutson thinks very deeply about the science and tech he covers and writes really well, I highly recommend his articles!

We are thrilled to welcome Ryan to our lab at UBC! We very much look forward to working with you and seeing the amazing work you will produce while here!

Most AI systems today follow the same predictable pattern: they're built for specific tasks and optimized for objectives rather than exploration. Meanwhile, humans are an open-ended species—driven by curiosity and constantly questioning the unknown. From inventing new musical

Nice summary, with coverage of the Darwin Gödel Machine. youtube.com/watch?v=C1kuCI…

Great writing about the Darwin Gödel Machine by Matthew Hutson, who is one of the best science writers in the business. Thanks Matthew!

The future of AI is open-ended: Embracing open-endedness in the pursuit of creative AI. Essay by Richard C. Suwandi richardcsuwandi.github.io/blog/2025/open…

AI Improves at Improving Itself Using an Evolutionary Trick: Researchers use evolutionary algorithms to enhance AI coding skills. Nice article published in IEEE Spectrum about the Darwin Gödel Machine (arxiv.org/abs/2505.22954), written by Matthew Hutson spectrum.ieee.org/evolutionary-a…

Go wider, deeper—or together? 🤔 Introducing AB-MCTS (Adaptive Branching Monte Carlo Tree Search), a new inference-time framework that generalizes repeated sampling (aka Large Language Monkeys) with principled multi-turn exploration and exploitation. Using a Bayesian approach,

Check out this episode on Machine Learning Street Talk to learn about our Fractured Entangled Representations work! Very entertaining video and does a great job summarizing our findings!

The automation of innovation is within reach! Delighted that my RAAIS talk is now available for anyone to watch, alongside an excellent blogpost summary by the inimitable Nathan Benaich.

The first big part of my PhD research is out! Infinite thanks to Jeff Clune and Cong Lu for all their guidance on this project

Really excited to share our recent work combining open-ended foundation model innovation with the compeititive dynamics of self-play!! One of the ingredients towards creativity explosion? Led by Aaron Dharna, done together with Jeff Clune 🚀

We’re training AI on everything that we know, but what about things that we don’t know? At #ICML2025, the EXAIT Workshop sparked a crucial conversation: as AI systems grow more powerful, they're relying less on genuine exploration and more on curated human data. This shortcut

Anthropic Seems similar to Automated Capability Discovery, no? x.com/jeffclune/stat…
