GPT-5 on Sudoku-Bench 🧩
GPT-5 now leads our Sudoku-Bench leaderboard with 33% solve rate, ~2x the previous best, and is the first LLM to solve a 9x9 modern Sudoku.
Still, 67% of puzzles remain unsolved.

“In my view, AI is ultimately going to be a normal technology. In 20 years, our kids will just be using a chat bot like it’s a fax machine. It won’t be magical anymore. This will just be integrated and adapted into our collective system.”

From day one, Sakana AI has done things differently. Our research has always focused on developing efficient AI technology sustainably, driven by the belief that resource constraints—not limitless compute—are key to true innovation.

Great to see Tarin Clanuwat featured for her amazing work. She has a deep love for Japanese classical literature and is using AI to build bridges to that past for everyone.

We’re lucky to have her driving this at Sakana AI.

To me, the field of A.I. is a branch of Philosophy, not Science. I would even call it “Applied Philosophy”.

Excited to release our new work: Petri Dish Neural Cellular Automata!
pub.sakana.ai/pdnca
We investigate how multi-agent NCAs can develop into artificial life 🦠 exhibiting complex, emergent behaviors like cyclic dynamics, territorial defense, and spontaneous cooperation.

Introducing Petri Dish Neural Cellular Automata (PD-NCA)
pub.sakana.ai/pdnca/
In this work we explore the role of continual adaptation in artificial life, where the cellular automata in our system do not rely on a fixed set of parameters, but rather learn continuously during the simulation itself.

Due to physical resource constraints, we currently estimate that around 300–400 of the candidate papers recommended for acceptance by the ACs will need to be rejected. We seek the support of our 41 SACs in addressing this distributed optimization problem in a fair and professional manner.

NeurIPS has decided to do what ICLR did: As a SAC I received the message 👇 This is wrong! If the review process cannot handle so many papers, the conference needs yo split instead of arbitrarily rejecting 400 papers.
