A CONNECTOMICS MILESTONE: MAPPING THE COMPLETE MALE FRUIT FLY BRAIN

Researchers led by Howard Hughes Medical Institute Janelia Research Campus have released a complete wiring diagram of the male fruit fly's brain and central nervous system. The map is the result of a decade-long partnership that advances the field of connectomics using computing and AI to build cellular-scale maps of entire brains. It is the largest brain map by number of neurons to date. The map is a fundamental resource for scientists who use fruit flies as a model organism for studying how the brain works.

META WANTED TO REDUCE TEAMS BY 60% BECAUSE OF AI

Two months ago, Meta laid off 10% of its staff and moved 20% to 30% of its engineers into AI training. This resulted in low morale and a string of embarrassing outages. The company had planned even larger layoffs, but those plans did not eventuate. This post looks at what the planned AI job cuts reveal about Meta, what CEO Mark Zuckerberg might have been thinking, and what the layoffs could mean for other tech companies.

RUNNING LLMS IN THE BROWSER WITH THREE.JS

Three-LLM runs GPT-2, SmolLM2, Qwen, and Phi models locally in the browser by turning their inference graphs into Three.js TSL compute shaders on WebGPU. The project was created to see how far the general computer capabilities of Three.js and WebGPU can be pushed, and to see what today's small language models can do when they run in a browser. Three.js is known as a rendering library, but its WebGPU renderer also exposes storage buffers, compute dispatches, workgroup memory, atomics, and GPU readback. Large language models put all of those capabilities to work as they need hundreds of ordered compute dispatches, large matrix-vector products, reductions, persistent attention or recurrent state, and a tight loop between the GPU and JavaScript as each new token appears.
