🗜️Compress is (or at least demonstrates) intelligence🧠
Starting with a picture of me and prompting Gemini with "Create an exact replica of this image, don't change a thing." yields this quite bizarre progression!
Does this seem like 🧠 or 😂 to you? This was a fun experiment!
I'm surprised this post didn't get more attention. Most papers arguing we are far from AGI just show LLMs failing on tasks too big for their context window. Sergey identifies something more fundamental: while LLMs learned to mimic intelligence from internet data, they never had…

We’re excited to announce that we have signed a comprehensive partnership agreement with MUFG Bank, the largest bank in Japan.
MUFG Bank, which has its roots from the 1870s, as Japan…
Open science is truly wonderful. After releasing out work on Continuous Thought Machines (pub.sakana.ai/ctm/), the community discussions and suggestions have been so helpful, forthright, and gratifying.
New Paper: Continuous Thought Machines 🧠
Neurons in brains use timing and synchronization in the way that they compute, but this is largely ignored in modern neural nets. We believe neural timing is key for the flexibility and adaptability of biological intelligence.
We…
Why not try something different? Instead of using the activations in a layer of a neural network as the representation, like we have forever. How about using the *synchronization* between neurons over time instead? The behavior that results is quite different! Please take a look!

Introducing Continuous Thought Machines
New Blog: sakana.ai/ctm/
Modern AI is powerful, but it’s still distinct from human-like flexible intelligence. We believe neural timing is key. Our Continuous Thought Machine is built from the ground up to use neural dynamics as…
