Its wiring has now been mapped synapse by synapse and released as open data. For one day, we'll put that wiring to work. And have some fun doing it! The challengeUse the fly’s connectome to make a machine see, move or decide better at the edge, and measure it. Small networks run faster on less compute. Treat the fly’s wiring as a blueprint for AI that is capable and tiny. The rules… Source: Luma. Eventing indexes this event and links to the source for tickets and the full description.
