Introducing Continuous Thought Machines New Blog: 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 a powerful representation for intelligence. Thought takes time, and reasoning is a process. Biological brains inspire us with their complex neural activity, where neural timing is critical to intelligence. We’re exploring how to bring that power to AI. The Continuous Thought Machine (CTM) incorporates neuron-level temporal processing and neural synchronization, moving beyond current AI limitations. Our approach has two core innovations: (1) neuron-level temporal processing, where each neuron uses unique parameters to process a history of incoming signals for fine-grained temporal dynamics, and (2) neural synchronization, used as a direct latent representation to modulate data and produce outputs, encoding information directly in the timing of neural activity. Learn more about our approach: Interactive Report: Full Paper: GitHub :

🚨Nobody wants to hear this but it needs to be said. > Scientists just copied a fruit fly's brain into a computer. Neuron by neuron. No training data. No machine learning. > It woke up and started walking. No one taught it to walk. No one trained it. No gradient descent. It just... knew what to do. A fruit fly brain has 140,000 neurons. A human brain is around 86,000,000,000. And we've gotten really good at scaling. Meaning with this proof, the first digital human won't be built by OpenAI. It'll be copied from someone who's already alive. Your consciousness is software. And someone just proved it can be copy-pasted. Start your day with that.

There's a fruit fly walking around right now that was never born. eon just released a video where they took a real fly's connectome — the wiring diagram of its brain — and simulated it. Dropped it into a virtual body. It started walking. Grooming. Feeding. Doing what flies do. Nobody taught it to walk. No training data, no gradient descent toward fly-like behavior. This is the opposite of how AI works. They rebuilt the mind from the inside, neuron by neuron, and behavior just... emerged. It's the first time a biological organism has been recreated not by modeling what it does, but by modeling what it is. A human brain is 6 OOM more neurons. That's a scaling problem, something we've gotten very good at solving. So what happens when we have a working copy of the human mind?

Inspired by Andrej Karpathy's practice of tinkering with smaller GPTs to gain intuition, I've been training small neural nets to play this simple 2d game I created. On the left is a visualization of the neural net firing in real time. Built with Claude, Three.js, and WebGPU and using JAX from Google DeepMind. I’m piping the neuron activation into Ableton as MIDI to trigger Serum 2.

Neuralink’s first patient in the UK, Paul, who is paralyzed by motor neuron disease, has received a brain implant. Just hours after surgery, he was able to control a computer with his thoughts and is now using it to play games and regain independence.

Guysss😭 LOOK!!! MLB Network, a 1.6M following on IG, dedicated to baseball used Neuron by j-hope on a reel celebrating #AAPIHeritageMonth!!!😭 OMG! It features AAPI personalities on baseball while the chorus of Neuron with j-hope's voice is heard on the video. The 3 artists ( hobi, Gaeko and Yoonmirae) were properly acknowledged in the video and in their caption! THIS! This is what this song is all about! A song that INSPIRES! Neuron is the perfect song as we end the month-long AAPI Heritage Month today, May 31, 2024.🥹 j-hope talked about the functioning neurons moving us and a better NEW and a better RUN. As we celebrate and honor the rich history, and culture of these diverse communities, this song encourages us that even if we don't know each other's stories, we should create moments of love to bridge the gap (as seen written on the last part of Neuron Motion Picture) AAPI Heritage month from May 1-31st is one way to do so, to celebrate Asian American and Pacific Islander people, to know their history, lower down barriers and how one can become an ally! In 2022, on this same day, BTS spoke with President Biden About AAPI Inclusion & Anti-Asian Hate Crimes at the White House! j-hope's message was “We are here today thanks to our Army — our fans worldwide — who have different nationalities and cultures and use different languages. We are truly and always grateful.” I hope hobi gets to see this video, it will make him smile🥹 WE ARE SO PROUD of the kind of artist that you are, j-hope!! 🎶I'll tell you again We'll never ever give up, forever I'll say it again We'll always be alive to move us PLEASE SEND SOME LOVE to this post on IG, I have linked the post below. tysm! *The Major League Baseball Network is an American television sports channel dedicated to baseball. The reel is starting to go viral already #HOPE_ON_THE_STREET #jhope_Neuron

We've uploaded a fruit fly. We took the FlyWire connectome of the fruit fly brain, applied a simple neuron model (Philip Shiu Nature 2024) and used it to control a MuJoCo physics-simulated body, closing the loop from neural activation to action. A few things I want to say about what this means and where we're going at eon. 🧵

In moments like these, we witness the start of a new chapter. This video of #Argochain, our Layer 1 blockchain, is more than mere pixels – it's a testament to change. It shows nodes communicating, a visual cue of the beginning of people reclaiming power in the realm of AI. This isn't just technological progress; it's a movement, a collective stride towards a future where AI is of the people, by the people. Let's celebrate, for every node that connects is a step towards our empowerment.
