Can a model of a fruit fly’s visual system find its way through a virtual kitchen?
Press Start and watch it happen. The model processes images from the scene and generates neural responses in real time. A controller we built uses those responses to steer the simulated fly around obstacles. Alongside the flight, a glowing network shows how its neural activity changes.
No scripted route. No prerecorded flight. Each step starts with a new image and a fresh steering decision.
We haven’t recreated an entire fruit fly. But we’ve taken a visual system model grounded in biology and connected it to something you can see: a simulated fly navigating a virtual world.

Fishball and Tenpura are two desktop AI companions I built from scratch: local wake gesture → Whisper STT → LLM → streamed TTS with real-time mouth-sync, running on a self-hosted GPU pipeline for near-instant replies. Each one has its own personality baked into the firmware.
Still shipping: graceful power-off, a wake word, and getting them to talk to each other.
