Anima is an Ecosystem project exploring how Active Inference principles apply to interactions with large language models. It examines how policy-based, blanket-aware Active Inference architectures can inform the design and understanding of current AI systems.

Overview

Anima investigates the intersection of Active Inference and current LLM-based AI — examining how Active Inference models of perception, policy, and action relate to LLM behavior, and how the framework can guide AI design for coherent, aligned behavior.

Participate

AI researchers, cognitive scientists, and practitioners interested in Active Inference approaches to AI systems are welcome.
