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. thousandbrains.org/company/care...

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...

🚀 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. Watch here 👉 youtu.be/Iap_sq1_BzE

Great interview with Jeff about the significant differences between our intelligence 🧠 and deep learning. Have a listen if you want to know how we could build machines based on how the brain actually works and how this will shape the future of AI 🤖

[WE'RE HIRING] Join our awesome @thousandbrains.org team to build the future of machine intelligence! 🚀 💻 We're looking for a software engineer to support our research team and open-source community thousandbrains.org/company/care...

🎙️ w/ Jeff Hawkins & @vivianeclay.bsky.social on @1000brainsproj.bsky.social & Jeff’s book. Cortical columns, reference frames in knowledge representation, “voting” for perceptual consensus, Gibson’s affordances, fundamental problems vs impressive demos, and much more. @numentaofficial.bsky.social

It feels quite strange to make a roadmap discussion like this public! But it's just another part of our approach to totally open and transparent research at the @1000brainsproj :) Let us know if you have any thoughts! thousandbrains.discourse.group/t/2025-01-q1...

I'm so excited to finally publish what I've been working on for the past 3 years! ☺️Check out this whitepaper outlining our novel approach to sensorimotor AI based on what we know about the neocortex 🧠https://arxiv.org/abs/2412.18354

🎥 Optimizing Performance in Monty’s Learning Modules In this video, @vivianeclay.bsky.social covers performance bottlenecks to fix and explores techniques like KD-tree search, locality sensitive hashing and matrix optimization to enhance performance. 📺 Watch now youtu.be/JVz0Km98hLo

It's finally out 🎬🍿 I'm happy to share that the movie I produced with my husband a few years ago is now available on several streaming services and on DVD! (Link in the thread 👇)
