Complexity and interpretability rarely coincide: complex systems are usually too opaque to question, while transparent ones are too simple interesting dynamics to emerge.
What if we treated LLM agents as the basic computational unit to build agentic substrates? Paper thread 🧵

Our paper with @eplantec.bsky.social was accepted at @alifeconf.bsky.social
How does criticality move from agents to populations?
We study how near-critical dynamics inside individual agents shape collective dynamics at the population scale.

Excited to announce our book “Neuroevolution: Harnessing Creativity in AI Agent Design” by Sebastian Risi, Yujin Tang, Risto Miikkulainen, and myself. We explore decades of work on evolving intelligent agents and shows how neuroevolution can drive creativity in deep learning, RL, LLMs and AI Agents!
