if u don't want to use a fly brain to read a PDF, you could always check out an actual OCR solution like llamaparse

@nftechie_ I trained it to be a MMA fighter

@nftechie_ A useful control: shuffle the connections while preserving neuron degrees, then train the same readout. That could help show how much the fly wiring contributes to OCR.

@nftechie_ a fruit fly reading a pdf is the only benchmark that cannot be gamed: the fly has no incentive to please the evaluator

@nftechie_ that’s so wild holy

@nftechie_ congrat

@nftechie_ The fly connectome mapping is the fun part but the real test is whether receptor activations generalize past clean glyphs to a scanned page with noise and skew.

@nftechie_ This feels like a good example of when the "AI" part just means calling a well-known component a few new things.

@nftechie_ 87% on real financial glyphs before even touching MNIST territory suggests the connectome is doing more useful work than the benchmark framing implies.

@nftechie_ Training a fly brain to read PDFs is wild

@nftechie_ Lord of the PDF flies.
