Cellular automata are powerful but painful to author. Rules are a lookup table; neural CAs are more expressive but a black box.

What if each CA rule was just code that you can read?

This is a very interesting project where we were using LLMs not only to discover new level generators but also to reason about them and abstract them so that it helps future generators. We will be presenting it at @ieee_cog :)

What happens when a language model doesn't just write code, but dynamically creates its own expert API mid-run?

Instead of evolving individual game levels, our new paper evolves entire generator programs using an LLM as the mutation and crossover operator.
