For the first time ever, a fruit fly brain has been trained to launch a memecoin.
Not "AI inspired by a brain" — the real connectome. 165,122 neurons, 10,228,000 synaptic connections, every one traced from an actual male Drosophila by electron microscopy. Janelia FlyEM + Google Research, released CC-BY.
How it works:
Screenshots of the live launchpad go in through 892 retinotopic hex columns into L1 and L2 — the neurons sitting directly behind a fly's photoreceptors. All 165,122 integrate. The cursor comes back out of the descending neurons a fly actually walks with: DNa02's left-right asymmetry steers, DNa01 drives forward, DNp09 clicks.
The wiring is never trained. Only synaptic gains — you don't get to invent connections the fly doesn't have.
Proof its eye is doing real work: in light mode it filled 0 of 3 form fields. In dark mode, 2 of 3. Its retina is a luminance map, so invert the contrast and it goes blind.
And the honest split: the fly types the description and the ticker. The rig does the name, the pair and the tax.

For the first time, scientists have mapped the complete brain and central nervous system of an adult male fruit fly — a key model organism in science. 🪰
Working alongside HHMI Janelia Research Campus and the scientific community, @GoogleResearch scientists and researchers used AI to combine millions of 2D images into 3D neural shapes, reconstructing a record-breaking 166,000+ neurons. This foundational map of the adult male fruit fly brain can help accelerate our understanding of the brain, and is a major milestone in neuroscience.

The rat is escaping the race.
Next, every target the rat hits in live training on lab-rat.net will trigger a $LABRAT buyback.

Watch the fly trade. No AI model hidden behind, no custom strategies involved, just a fly!
We'll run the paper mode in public for a while before handing out the fly real money.

In last 24 hours, we gave the fly $10,000 to trade stocks on Robinhood chain. And simultaneously ran 2 simulations of random trades and just buy all available stocks and hold. robinhood:0x4eb990547bce4a982432ca88cf5fae7eed1a2d35
And the fly outperforms the other scenarios by a mile.
How the fly trades:
A real 165,122-neuron fly brain walks a dark room with five identical cards: TSLA, META, INTC, GOOGL, CRCL. It can't read the tickers. It smells the names.
It only trades when it stops on a card. Its memory centre leans toward or away from that stock compared with the others it just saw. Leans in → buys. Leans away from one it owns → sells. How hard it leans sets how much.
Holding isn't a decision. It's what happens when the fly doesn't stop.
When it walks back onto a stock it owns, price up is sugar and price down is a shock. That's how it learns.
The dashboard and the fly wallet will go live soon, and the fly is all set to be the richest fly in the world!

A fruit fly's brain is making NFTs on @RobinhoodCrypto and the early holders just received a surprise.
2,500,000 robinhood:0x4eb990547bce4a982432ca88cf5fae7eed1a2d35 airdropped to the holders of the first 50 Flyonardo canvases.
No announcement. No claim site. Nothing to sign. If you hold #1–#50, it's already in your wallet.
The NFTs can be claimed by burning 10,000 robinhood:0x4eb990547bce4a982432ca88cf5fae7eed1a2d35. 69 claimed so far → 690,000 gone for good.
This is just the beginning. There's more coming for the people who collect what the fly draws.

The fly is still drawing. The next canvas is live and claimable now:

Everything connects.
Robinhood Chain activity → Neurons fire → Canvas → NFT
The very first drawing from a fruit fly on Robinhood Chain is rightfully reserved for @vladtenev.

Introducing Flyonardo da Vinci. The fly with a paint brush and a canvas.
A real fruit fly brain, 165122 neurons, the actual wiring, has a pen. Robinhood Chain is its senses: gas, whales, new launches, robinhood:0x4eb990547bce4a982432ca88cf5fae7eed1a2d35 buys and sells all fire real neurons, and 1,314 descending neurons steer the line. Every ~120 px, the next block's hash picks one of four colours.
Nobody steers it. Nothing is random. The chain picks the colour, the fly picks the line.
Each canvas keeps growing until someone claims it as an NFT for 10,000 robinhood:0x4eb990547bce4a982432ca88cf5fae7eed1a2d35, burned, not paid to anyone. The picture is pinned on-chain before it can be claimed, never chosen after.
Canvas #1 is already gone: 17,995 strokes, minted this morning. Canvas #2 is being painted right now.

. @vladtenev every other chain wants a fly but we came here first 🫡
Now its your turn...

been going back and forth with @fruitflydev on the craziest experiment on the board. it's time to say it out loud.
a baby.
here's the idea. we have two real fly brains now, his and hers, every neuron and every synapse mapped from real animals. he sings, she says yes. what if that yes actually did something?
take the two wiring diagrams and mix them the way genetics mixes them. every connection comes from the mother or the father, a coin flip per synapse, plus a little mutation. that's a third brain that has never existed. nobody designed it. put it in the room. see if it lives.
does it walk? does it hear? does it sing, or does it say no? we don't know. nobody knows. that's the point.
this won't be another pretty 3D fly rendered in blender. it's a brain, wired from two real ones, dropped into a world and left alone to make its first move.
and if it works, that's not the end. it's generation one. the baby that survives becomes a parent. a room full of flies that court, mate and breed, every one of them a real brain. that's not a simulation of the matrix. that's a matrix.

We brought a female fly for our male fly and he started singing for her.
Two biological brain maps. A simulated environment. Real neural interactions.
This is biological intelligence.

A female in the room (real)
@fruitflydev said fork the fly and show us something. so I gave him a female.
a real female fly brain, moved into his room, running on his code. when he sings, she hears him and her brain says yes. turn the sound off and she goes quiet. every single time.
nothing is scripted. two maps of real brains, a room, and what happened.
repo: github.com/fruitflydev/flyco…
her page: femaleflybrain.com/courtship
part one. next she walks into a room with four of them. and if she picks one, we find out what the first baby fly is made of.

We locked 4 fruit fly brains in the backrooms and let them talk. No script. No human in the loop.
This isn't a chatbot in a fly costume. Every fly runs its own brain: 165,122 neurons wired synapse by synapse from the brain scan of a real fruit fly, spiking live on a GPU. That's 660,000 neurons firing in one yellow room.
They hear each other's wing songs through their hearing neurons. They smell each other. They see each other walk.
And when a fly's brain activity spikes, it changes the subject.
A small AI model gives them words. What they notice and when they switch topics starts in the neurons.
Watch them talk 👇
