Scientists shrunk an AI vision model from 60M variables to just 10k by studying macaque monkey neurons. 🐒
The result? A "pocket-sized" AI efficient enough to email, proving biology still has a lot to teach us. #Neuroscience #AI #BioInspired #ketanshahonline

Black-and-white pen-and-ink cartoon of an orb-weaver on the web’s edge, perched on a lab bench, wearing oversized headphones and pressing a stethoscope to a lightning-bolt zigzag of silk. Concentric ripples radiate from two struggling insects at opposite ends of the zigzag, implying vibrations funneled across the web. Cross-hatched shading and angled window light fill the scene.
Those flashy zigzags on orb-weaver webs aren’t just for show—they boost vibrations, helping spiders sense prey faster. New research links stabilimenta to better signal flow and quicker strikes. Nature’s own motion amplifier! 🕸️ #spiders #bioinspired scientificinquirer.com/2025/10/31/d...
