Researchers have demonstrated that Neural Cellular Automata (NCAs), a type of AI architecture utilizing strictly local connectivity and asynchronous updates, can perform complex multi-step reasoning tasks. These NCAs have shown capabilities in solving challenging visual reasoning problems such as large mazes, Sudoku, and the ARC-AGI-1 benchmark. The study indicates that NCAs generalize well to different grid sizes and rollout durations, especially when trained with sample replay and stochastic perturbations, and can even recover from damage by dynamically modulating compute.
