the fly can play overwatch I've successfully trained the MaleCNS v1.0 fruit fly connectdome's 166,700 neurons using YOLOv5 and video pretraining data to play overwatch in a keyboard environment with attention-based aiming. The fly has found the most success on Cassidy.

You went a little overboard I think Why would you need 167.000 neurons for overwatch? Especially playing cassidy. I think 12-14 should've been enough

Do you even need that many neurons for Cassidy? Surely you can get by on 3.

Introducing FlyOCR 🪰 - I trained a fly brain to read a PDF It uses the full MaleCNS v1.0 fruit fly connectcome. The architecture is inspired by doomfly by The fly splits a pdf image into individual glyphs, maps pixels into receptor activations, runs simplified current-based dynamics across the 166k neurons and 25m edges in the circuit, applies a compact readout model on the downstream spikes, and concatenates everything into the parsed output. On reading an actual Microsoft 10-k, the fly gets ~86% over the balance sheet heading, but is largely able to read the numeric values correctly. Over 1.7k+ sampled glyphs (chars+digits) it gets 87% accuracy. With enough training it might match some of the latter-generation MNIST models! Maybe eventually we’ll replace our doc parsing VLMs with flies. Full video below. Repo with full code + report:

I and nico ran the fly connectome and found the group of neurons (hΔH, hΔA, hΔI and hΔG) that could allow the fly to navigate using fast synaptic weight updates, not neural activations. This is fast-weight continual learning in a fly, something current LLMs don't do!

I GAVE A DRONE THE BRAIN OF A FRUIT FLY Not a toy network with a handful of fake neurons. The actual wiring diagram of a real fly. 166,700 neurons, 25.6 million connections, mapped one synapse at a time. I call it FlyDrones. The drone's camera becomes the fly's eyes. Motion lights up the same neurons a real fly uses to see. Spikes race through the connectome down to the neurons that drive the wings. Those spikes become throttle and yaw. The brain has zero lines of flight code, just wiring. Swing a fly swatter at it. If the giant fiber (the fly's escape neuron) fires in time, the drone dodges. Open palm, fist, rush at the camera and it reacts like a fly. Built for Tello, Crazyflie, ArduPilot/PX4 and Betaflight quads via ESP32. Code is MIT, powered by Claude. Fork it and give your drone a brain.

THE FLY BRAIN ESCAPED THE COMPUTER. I PUT IT INSIDE A PHYSICAL ROBOT. Scientists released a reconstructed map containing 166,700 neurons from a fruit fly. I connected it to a Strandbeest. The panel in the top-right shows the simulated brain running. Its neural activity is translated into motor commands that move the mechanical legs below. The catch: this is a computational model built from biological wiring. I engineered the interface connecting its outputs to the robot. First, the fly brain entered DOOM. Then it played Chrome Dino. Now it has a physical body. 166,700 neurons. 25 million connections. One nervous system walking through the real world.

Fed district partisanship (and a few other vars) into the sugar and bitter taste neurons of a fruit fly. The fly predicts races by steering its body in a given direction and it manages to be 89% accurate on house races!

Scientists used 200,000 human brain cells to play DOOM. The cells had never seen a computer. They learned in real time. They got better. Separately: an entire fruit fly brain, 139,000 neurons, 50 million connections, was copied into a laptop. It predicts real brain responses with 90%+ accuracy. The biological computing timeline: 2021 → neurons learn Pong 2022 → fruit fly brain fully mapped 2024 → entire fly brain simulated on a laptop 2026 → human brain cells play DOOM A GPU needs ~700W to run an LLM. The brain runs the whole show on 20W. We're spending trillions on building the next giant AI training computer but what if the solution to our energy needs was just copying the technology already running in our heads?

I’m excited to announce the world’s first Fly Language Model. It uses a new architecture called GPF (Generative Pre-trained Fly). It adapts a small pre-trained model with the actual fly connectome. Don't believe it's real? Try it out below, view the code, and read the paper. What will you ask the fly?
