We’re excited to share BrainWideBench, a new benchmark for evaluating how models of neural activity generalize across animals and tasks!
A major bottleneck in modeling neural data today is rigorous and standardized evaluation. Modelling techniques need to be tested under multiple regimes and downstream tasks.
📄 Check out the paper here! arxiv.org/abs/2609.22064
Special shoutout to @alx_adr, who co-led this work with me and contributed equally as co-first authors!

Josh Siegle and I are thrilled to be chairing the first workshop on "Bridging the gap between cell types and spike trains"! We see this as the key link between population-level descriptions of dynamics and real mechanistic understanding from cell types. celltypestospikesworkshop.gi…

Excited to share our #NeurIPS2025 work: NuCLR, a framework for learning neuron-level representations 🧠 These embeddings capture the biological identity of neurons and work out-of-the-box on new animals; no finetuning needed 💃 This offers some of the first evidence that large-scale neuroscience models can truly generalize across animals.

If you are at NeurIPS in San Diego, come find us at Poster Session 5 (11am-3pm PT, Exhibit Hall C,D,E, # 2107) 🎉

I’m excited to share that I’ve started a new company: Constellation.
Our thesis is simple: the next frontier of AI will be in modeling human experience in all its richness: brain🧠, body🧍and environment 🌐
I’ll be at NeurIPS with my co-founder
@Biofall. We're hiring, DM me!

The Foundation Models for the Brain and Body workshop is happening this week at #NeurIPS2025 🏝️🧠
We have an amazing lineup of keynote speakers, spotlight talks, posters and demos.
We can’t wait to welcome everyone on Saturday!

How can we make progress in developing a general model of neural computation rather than a series of disjointed models tied to specific experimental circumstances, ask @evadyer and Blake Richards @tyrell_turing in the latest entry in our NeuroAI series.

First paper from the lab biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…! Long story short: @ezeyulu00, @AmartyaPradhan, @DKoveal and I developed a method using injectable nanoparticles to turn mice into…constellations in motion.

Looking forward to a visit from @evadyer on Thursday! Eva is working at the forefront of the intersection between machine learning, neuroscience, and neuroAI 🧠

What will a foundation model for the brain look like?
We argue that it must be able to solve a diverse set of tasks across multiple brain regions and animals.
Check out our preprint where we introduce a multi-region, multi-animal, multi-task model (MtM): arxiv.org/abs/2407.14668

This might be the secret to breaking through the next plateau in deeper reasoning, planning and retrieval capabilities for AI agents 🤔
LGGMs (large generative graph models) are on the rise! While @Adobe and @intel were first at it with LGGMs, researchers at @GeorgiaTech have trained their own model called GraphFM (links below).
It’s important that more progress is made on this front to improve causal grounding with graph-based retrieval, DAG generation for LLM Compiler like planning mechanisms and for graph-based self-discovery + continual learning agents with graph-based CLIN to further enhance reasoning, decision-making and environmental grounding for AI agents.
Existing implementations of knowledge graph generation (like with GraphRAG) rely on LLMs to define entities/relationships which isn’t always accurate... moving to LGGMs may finally unlock the potential of graphs for many of the use-cases outlined above.
Excited to see some infrastructure providers in the next 6-12 months start scaling and offering these kinds of models which I think will play a critical role in making agents substantially more reliable when combined with similar design patterns as linked to below - and especially when combined with optimization frameworks like DSPy and Agent Symbolic Learning. Have a feeling that domain-specific SGMs (small graph models) or frameworks to build your own SGMs for distributed agentic systems will be next to come…
Read for yourself, connect the dots and thank @divyyansha1115, @mehdiazabou, @vinam_arora and @evadyer for their amazing work! 🔥

Check this out! So excited to share our recent work in building foundation models for graphs!
Excited to share our Graph Foundation Model, 🌐 GraphFM, trained on 152 datasets with over 7.4 million nodes and 189 million edges spanning diverse domains.
🚨 Check out our preprint for GraphFM where we test how our model scales with data and model size, and show efficient finetuning on new datasets.

Have you ever done a dense grid search over neural network hyperparameters? Like a *really dense* grid search? It looks like this (!!). Blueish colors correspond to hyperparameters for which training converges, redish colors to hyperparameters for which training diverges.

Today, I am very proud share what we have been working on for the last 14 months. ✨
Introducing Aya -- a new state-of-art for massively multilingual models. 🔥🎉
Today, we’re launching Aya, a new open-source, massively multilingual LLM & dataset to help support under-represented languages. Aya outperforms existing open-source models and covers 101 different languages – more than double covered by previous models.
