A video explainer of “Hierarchy or Heterarchy?” is presented by Viviane Clay: youtu.be/QIoENhFu2VU

Our second paper drops tomorrow: “Hierarchy or Heterarchy?” shows how Thousand Brains Theory explains the brain’s often-ignored non-hierarchical connections, and why they matter for understanding intelligence and developing AI.

6/
Over the next few days, we’ll share video overviews, Q&A sessions with the researchers, and plain-language explainers to support the new papers and make the ideas accessible to all.

The first paper: “Thousand-Brains Systems: Sensorimotor Intelligence for Rapid, Robust Learning & Inference”, is out now: arxiv.org/abs/2507.04494. It showcases our first working system, codename Monty.

This week, we’re releasing two milestone papers: one shows the amazing capabilities of thousand-brains systems and their benefits over deep learning, the other proposes a new theory of long-range connections in the neocortex. Years of work led to this.

New Paper: Continuous Thought Machines

Neurons in brains use timing and synchronization in the way that they compute, but this is largely ignored in modern neural nets. We believe neural timing is key for the flexibility and adaptability of biological intelligence.

🚀 New video: @vivianeclay.bsky.social presents the Future Applications & Positive Impacts of Monty

We don’t claim to predict the future - but we do know what Monty will be capable of when we hit each milestone.
