Every one of the 138,639 reconstructed neurons of the FlyWire fruit-fly brain is simulated in real time, wired exactly as Nature published it (Shiu et al., AlphaLIF dynamics: voltage, spikes, alpha synapses, delays, refractory periods). Right now it’s learning the first level of Super Mario Bros. 3, and you can watch the raw training process (not a replay) the actual current rollout: real NES gameplay as the policy sees it the whole-brain activity lighting up, live the exact 15×13×4 grayscale “retina” that caused each decision a fly leg (real photographed housefly foreleg) pressing the NES controller live telemetry: training decisions, episode, progress, reward, record How it works 138,639 neurons · 15,091,983 connections · frozen wiring (signs included) Visual input: full screen → 15×13 gray × 4 temporal frames → 10,855 visual-input neurons (ON/OFF pairs) Annotated circuits drive priors, not cheats: LC4/LPLC2 looming (314), DNg02 flight/thrust (25), Giant Fiber escape (2), MDN backward (4) 41,692 central+descending neurons read out via a fixed signed hash PPO + self-imitation of only agent-discovered trajectories Every episode begins at the true start of World 1-1 NO REAL FLYS WERE HARMED ON THE MAKING OF THIS TRAINING! submitted by /u/Inevitable_Emu2722
