Hi @glassbeads.dev sorry for the late reply, I just saw this comment. You might find this research meeting interesting where our team reviews inhibitory connections: youtu.be/S3rb2Qfujv4
Reminder! Dec 17 at 9 AM PST: Jeff Hawkins, @vivianeclay.bsky.social, @cortical-canonical.bsky.social, and the Thousand Brains Project team will give a simple, easy-to-follow intro to the Thousand Brains Project and the machine intelligence we are building.
👉 Join us: www.meetup.com/thousand-bra...
Join our meetup next Wednesday to see all the exciting things we've been up to over the past year! If you want to catch up with our project and get a high-level overview of what we do, this 2-hour meeting with nine short talks from everyone on our team would be the ideal opportunity!
Join us Dec 17 at 9 AM PST for a meetup with Jeff Hawkins, @vivianeclay.bsky.social, and the Thousand Brains Project team.
New to Monty? This is the perfect place to jump in. If you already know Monty, we’ll tell you something new.

"As the AI field increasingly confronts the diminishing returns of simply scaling up existing approaches, where each new breakthrough requires exponentially more data, compute, and energy, biological insights like those underlying Monty offer a different path forward."
"Monty embodies a shift from the passive data consumption that has defined modern machine learning to the active, exploratory intelligence that characterizes living beings."
I just came across this excellent blog post about the recent results we published about the capabilities of the new type of AI we are building (no deep learning!) at the @thousandbrains.org 🤖 🧠: gregrobison.medium.com/hands-on-int...
Are you a software developer who wants to work on AI but doesn't have the classic Machine Learning / LLM / deep neural network experience? Then, I'm looking for you...
I'm looking for traditional software engineers to build our sensorimotor intelligence platform.

Great blog post about the importance of structured representations for intelligence and spatial navigation mechanisms being generalized to navigate our mental models of the world.

Recommend this blog post! "These results suggest that the solution to catastrophic forgetting is rethinking how artificial systems learn, moving from monolithic, globally-optimized networks toward modular, locally-adaptive architectures that mirror the brain’s evolved approach to lifelong learning."
Many people think of the brain as a hierarchical system, and in many ways it is. But there is also a lot of non-hierarchical processing going on. Check out this pre-print where we review and propose functional roles for the different long-range connections in the neocortex 🧠
Super excited to share our new paper! We spent the past years building an alternative AI approach, and now we demonstrate a whole range of advantages. Robust object & pose detection, generalization, data and compute efficient training, continual learning, shape bias, intelligent policies, and more!🦾
I just read this great blog post about the lack of sensorimotor learning in current AI and how Piaget's theories, neuroscience, and the TBT outline a better path. This resonated a lot with me as I spent years of my PhD trying to make exactly that point :) gregrobison.medium.com/active-learn...
As always, really cool work @hardmaru.bsky.social and beautifully visualized on top of that!
🚀 New video: @vivianeclay.bsky.social presents the Future Applications & Positive Impacts of Monty
We don’t claim to predict the future - but we do know what Monty will be capable of when we hit each milestone.
