How do physical systems achieve collective intelligence and self-repair without a central brain? A new paper published today in Nature Communications by my Sakana AI colleague Sebastian Risi (@risi1979), along with co-authors from IT University of Copenhagen and Autodesk Research, presents a beautiful realization of biologically inspired robotics: Smart Cellular Bricks. The team built a system of physical 3D cubic units that can collectively infer their global shape and autonomously guide their own damage recovery using purely local interactions. Here is a deep dive into the paper’s key contributions: 1/ Neural Cellular Automata-based Architecture: Modular robots usually rely on central processors. This system flips that paradigm. Every block independently runs the exact same neural network on local microcontrollers. With no master plan or global coordinates, they communicate only with immediate neighbors. By passing continuous state vectors, hundreds of bricks achieve global consensus on their shape in under 3 minutes. 2/ Emergent Biological Morphogens: How does a block know it is part of a chair, not a table? The network’s internal memory automatically learns to establish continuous gradients across the structure. This beautifully mirrors how biological morphogens give positional info to developing cells. The bricks naturally form left-right, radial, and head-to-tail axes to align their identity. 3/ Performance and Generalization: Validated in large-scale simulations, the networks transferred seamlessly to nearly 200 physical hardware bricks, achieving a 100% convergence rate. Instead of rigid template-matching, the system infers broad categories. Even when tested on unseen variations, like an asymmetric table with five random legs, the collective correctly classified the structure. 4/ Fault Tolerance and Autonomous Damage Recovery: Hardware fails in the real world. This system easily tolerates up to 15% module failure without losing accuracy. By predicting spatial damage directions, the cells pinpointed missing components with 95% accuracy. They actively use these local signals to guide a self-repair process, regenerating back into the intended morphology. I believe this is a significant piece of research, bridging collective intelligence and Physical AI. This work represents the first successful physical realization of large-scale, decentralized 3D self-recognition and damage detection. By moving away from centralized control, this architecture paves the way for highly adaptive smart materials and resilient robotics that can survive and repair themselves.

RT by @hardmaru: We are pleased to share our latest research, now published in Nature Communications: “Smart Cellular Bricks: Physical Modules That Recognize Their Own Shape and Repair Themselves.” Blog: https://sakana.ai/smart-cellular-bricks Paper: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-026-75166-7 A long-running theme in our work is collective intelligence: the idea that sophisticated, robust behavior can emerge from many simple parts following local rules, with no central controller, as it does in a colony, a tissue, or a brain. We had mostly studied this in software and simulation. So this time we asked a simple question. Do the same decentralized principles hold up in the physical world, where communication is noisy and modules fail? To find out, we built a collection of simple cubic bricks. Each brick runs the same small neural network and talks only to the bricks it is physically connected to. No brick is told its position, or which shape it is part of. Yet from these purely local exchanges, the collective converges on the correct global shape, locates where modules are missing or damaged, and can even guide its own repair, inspired by how living tissue self-organizes and regenerates after injury. For us, this is a first step in a broader direction: taking the principles of collective intelligence we have studied in software and letting them emerge, decentralized and robust, in the physical world. In the future, we imagine smart materials that let structures sense and report damage on their own, and LEGO-like systems that recognize their own configuration and adapt in real time, pointing toward environments that are more robust, adaptive, and regenerative. This work is a collaboration between Sakana AI, IT University of Copenhagen and Autodesk.· 智能细胞砖:可自我识别和修复的物理模块

R to @hardmaru: Here is a visualization of the AI Picbreeder engine in action. (From our blog: https://pub.sakana.ai/picbreeder-vlm/) To recreate a collaborative human ecosystem, we run 10 VLM “breeder” agents in parallel. These agents constantly sample from a shared archive, interactively evolve new candidates through mutation and crossover, and publish their favorites. Meanwhile, VLM “critic” agents step in to evaluate the growing phylogenetic tree of art, forming an endless loop of digital cultural production.· AI Picbreeder 引擎的可视化

One of my first journeys in neural networks started over a decade ago with implementing CPPN-NEAT! Back then, I built a clone of ‘Picbreeder’ not only to study the mechanics of neural nets, but to explore the human creativity process itself, and generate some cool abstract art. Neurogram: https://otoro.net/neurogram/ Gallery: https://otoro.net/gallery/ Today, things have come full circle. We are now trying to use modern VLMs and frontier LLM agents within open-ended exploration algorithms. We want to see if we can finally computationally derive the underlying mechanics of human creativity: serendipity, memory, exploration versus exploitation, and novelty search. Can modern AI actually replicate the magic of human open-endedness? Dive into our new AI Picbreeder Experiment here: https://pub.sakana.ai/picbreeder-vlm/· 现代AI与人类创造力实验

RT by @hardmaru: Yann LeCun claimed on social media [7] that my foundational 1990 paper on Neural World Models [1] "was never accepted through peer review." This is simply false. The core concepts from the tech report [1] were peer-reviewed and published at international conferences right away: ★ Planning with recurrent world models: peer-reviewed and published at IJCNN'90 (San Diego, June 1990) [2]. ★ Artificial curiosity through generative & adversarial nets (GANs): peer-reviewed and published at SAB'91 [3][4]. BTW, the 1990 paper [1] was the first of its kind to use the term "World Model" for a predictor neural network learning to predict the consequences of the actions of a controller neural network. Instead of acknowledging that "modern" architectures like "JEPA" (2022) are essentially identical to our 1992 Predictability Maximization (PMAX) [6][7] - a fact recently validated by others [8] - LeCun resorts to false claims about peer review. For the full timeline of the 1990-2015 publications that his 2022 AMI paper rehashes without citation, read the complete, updated receipts here [6]: https://people.idsia.ch/~juergen/lecun-rehash-1990-2022.html Other claims about LeCun are debunked in [8][9].

R to @hardmaru: To really move the needle in terms of innovation, like the era in Japan when you had companies like Sony or Panasonic come out, there are a few factors at play. One is that the nation needs to have a collective sense of hope. A nation needs to feel hopeful. It could be poor. Everyone can be dirt poor, but they have hope. And hope leads to things being done. So, what creates hope in Japan? Is it more money? Is it less taxes? Or is it more benefits? Probably not. I think that it is stories and narratives that can create hope. If I have a magic wand, if the population in Japan is more optimistic about the future of this country, suddenly they’re persuaded, to be more optimistic. People should be optimistic. With optimism comes change. And change leads to more optimism. 🎏 https://www.disruptingjapan.com/the-future-of-ai-looks-very-different-in-japan/· 日本的AI未来大不相同

RT by @hardmaru: Sakana Fugu Technical Report Instead of training one larger model, Sakana AI trains an orchestrator that reads each query and dynamically routes or composes GPT-5.5, Gemini-3.1-Pro, Claude Opus 4.8 and other agents into query-specific workflows. With Fugu being the fast router, and Fugu-Ultra being the deep multi-agent conductor, trained with SFT, evolutionary strategies and GRPO to build adaptive scaffolds. The idea is to have the model pick GPT for math, Gemini for science and recall, Opus for debugging, then synthesize them when no single agent is best. This router is able to get SoTA results across SWE-Bench Pro, Terminal Bench, LiveCodeBench, GPQA-Diamond, CharXiv and more, demonstrating the potential of orchestration being a practical alternative beyond training.· Sakana Fugu 技术报告

Pinned: Human intelligence is fundamentally a collective intelligence. We solve complex problems by participating in a vast cultural network that builds upon ideas across generations. I believe the strongest AI systems will become a collective intelligence, too. Since we started Sakana AI, our core conviction has been that the most powerful AI systems will be collaborative ecosystems, not isolated monoliths. Evolution innovates under constraints, and the future belongs to systems that explicitly learn how to coordinate collective intelligence. Today, we are taking a major step toward that future with the launch of Sakana Fugu. Fugu dynamically orchestrates the world’s best models to tackle complex tasks. We are proving that a well-orchestrated pool of swappable agents can match restricted frontier models like Fable and Mythos. But Fugu is about more than just performance. I believe that Orchestration Models are the next frontier, beyond bigger models. Relying on a single company’s model for national infrastructure is a massive risk. As recent export controls have shown, access to top models can disappear overnight. Collective intelligence is the practical hedge against this concentration of power. Fugu simply routes around vendor restrictions by relying on an entirely swappable agent pool. I am incredibly proud of our Tokyo team for shipping this. By orchestrating the world’s models, we are delivering the resilient blueprint required for AI sovereignty. Read our full vision and results here: https://sakana.ai/fugu-release 🐡· 集体智能是AI的未来
