Astra ports Levin team's epiplexity estimator into live demo of evolving cellular automata
burny_tech · x · 2026-09-07
Developer @biosemiote used Astra to add Yanbo Zhang and Michael Levin's epiplexity estimator to a web demo: neural cellular automata are trained to produce more interesting behavior by maximizing their learnable information. An interactive demo is available, showing how AI coding agents can quickly implement cutting-edge research ideas.
