The level of LLM intelligence that cost $1.22 per task in February costs $0.022 today, a 56x drop in six months. I pulled a year of Artificial Analysis data to trace how the cost of each capability level has fallen, and the rate is accelerating. catalystneuro.com/blog/cost-of...

We gave a tutorial on @nwb.org and DANDI at @cosynemeeting.bsky.social this year. If you couldn't make it (or want a refresher), the full recording is up on YouTube. Covers everything from data standardization to finding and reusing public neurophysiology datasets on DANDI.

Inspired by Max Bennett's Cosyne keynote, I just finished his book, "A Brief History of Intelligence." A wonderful read bringing together diverse fields into one cohesive story - highly recommend to neuroscientists, AI researchers, and anyone interested in the nature of intelligence.
