← back Particle Life++ (ASAL)

Origin

Sakana AI, ASAL, Automating the Search for Artificial Life with Foundation Models, 2024. GitHub. Foundation models automatically discovered Particle Life configurations producing open-ended ecosystems with caterpillars, chasers, and pulsating organisms.

How It Works

Extended Particle Life with richer interaction functions. Each type pair has attraction, repulsion zone, and interaction shape parameters. ASAL-discovered configurations produce agentic patterns not found by manual search.

Applications

Open-ended artificial life, automated discovery of emergent systems, foundation model-guided parameter search.
