Fly neural model plays ping-pong against itself, its creator says

A user says they trained a fly connectome model—a model based on neural wiring—to play ping-pong against itself, reporting 91 returns in 100 seconds. According to the creator, each fly runs the MaleCNS graph with 166,700 neurons and 25.6 million connections. The two share trained weights but maintain separate neural states. The creator describes the flies controlling their flight height and swinging rackets attached to their front legs, with flashes in the brains and nerve cord reflecting the model’s activity.
