New paper out now in @Nature🥳 nature.com/articles/s4158… We use CNNs, population recording of mouse V1 & pharmacology to show how feature tuning in visual cortex changes /w internal brain state. Shared work with @kfrankelab Fantastic collaboration between @sinzlab & @AToliasLab
So excited this is out @Nature 🎉 Pupil dilation with internal brain state rapidly shifts neural feature/color selectivity in mouse visual cortex by switching between rod&cone photoreceptors👁️🧠 nature.com/articles/s4158… Shared work with @KonstantinWille, @AToliasLab & @sinzlab
New NanoGPT training speed record: 3.28 FineWeb val loss in 2.966 minutes on 8xH100 New record-holder: Vishal Agrawal (@.vagrawal on GitHub) Previous record: 2.979 minutes Changelog: Replaced gradient all_reduce with reduce_scatter, other efficiency tweaks
(1/6) Thrilled to share our triple-N dataset (Non-human Primate Neural Responses to Natural Scenes)! It captures thousands of high-level visual neuron responses in macaques to natural scenes using #Neuropixels. Link: biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
Enigma's excited to co-sponsor Foundry's AI for Science Symposium in San Francisco on May 16th. Join us for an exciting day of presentations and panels on how AI can transform the scientific process.
Join the discussion w/leaders from academia, government, non-profits, industry Organized by @mlfoundry Co-sponsored by @InvTechInc, Open Athena, and Enigma Project 🧵Registration and more info below
After 7 years, thrilled to finally share our #MICrONS functional connectomics results! We recorded activity from ~75K neurons in visual cortex in a single mouse, then mapped its wiring using electron microscopy. To systematically characterize neuron function, we built the first…
🚀 Excited to share our new paper! We introduce the first autoregressive model that natively handles: 🎥 Novel view synthesis 🎨 Interactive 3D object editing 📏 Depth extraction ➕ and more! No fine-tuning needed—just prompting. Outperforming even diffusion-based methods!

With Nvidia’s shares plummeting by ~17% and other big tech taking hits, today alone saw a market value loss exceeding $589 billion. This happened because we put all our eggs in one basket: scaling compute as the sole path to AGI. Time to rethink.
Enigma's hosting a post-workshop social with @newtheoryai tonight: NEURREPS x UNIREPS X NEUROAI 7-11pm. RSVP link below
Come find us at NeurIPS to chat about large scale multimodal models of the brain.
Enigma's at NeurIPS - come find us. New jobs posted on our website for research scientists & engineers in multi-modal modeling & interpretability enigmaproject.ai
People have too inflated sense of what it means to "ask an AI" about something. The AI are language models trained basically by imitation on data from human labelers. Instead of the mysticism of "asking an AI", think of it more as "asking the average data labeler" on the…
Evo has been published in @Science! A true privilege to work with such an amazing team! So many exciting new experimental results in this emerging field of Generative Genomics, including AI generated and *validated* CRISPR-Cas systems and transposons
A new Science study presents “Evo”—a machine learning model capable of decoding and designing DNA, RNA, and protein sequences, from molecular to genome scale, with unparalleled accuracy. Evo’s ability to predict, generate, and engineer entire genomic sequences could change the…
