A fruit-fly brain connectome was trained to play Beat Saber using replay data and reinforcement learning. The training specifically uses replay signals so movements that score well are reinforced. The next training stage aims to reduce reliance on replays so the brain model can react on its own.
DOOMFLY 1 month ago 48 ● 4 sources
A reconstructed male fruit-fly brain controller was wired to the Doom game by mapping game pixels to inferred retinal inputs and fixed MaleCNS v1.0 connectivity. It used 25,582,938 connections and 124,177,617 synaptic contacts. The setup produced game control without adding enemy navigation or aiming policies, and the results were constrained by approximation limits (unvalidated vision mappings and uncertain transmitter signs) while learning was not induced by stimulus delivery alone.

The biggest story today isn’t a single model release—it’s the plumbing getting thicker, especially for agentic AI. Nebius says it has struck deals with early-stage UK AI labs as it expands its GPU data-centre and compute offering in the UK, building on a planned £1.7bn build-out and an expanding London hub. That push rhymes with Britain’s British Business Bank, which announced £180m across six AI and deeptech VC funds, including £55m into Intrepid Growth Partners’ AI-focused Fund I, and with Nvidia’s own UK signal: CEO Jensen Huang announced minority-stake plans in five startups—Boltz, Foresight, Hiverge, Prima Mente, and Riverlane.
