2026/03 - London Retreat Demos: MuJoCo Integration, Config Improvements & Theoretical Progress YouTube video by Thousand Brains Project

Check out a summary of our progress here: youtu.be/7bnPWJ-k3YE

A few weeks ago, we all met up in person and had a fun, productive, and intense week! Working in three teams, we made significant progress across three fronts: integrating the MuJoCo simulator, simplifying our configurations, and advancing our theory!

Check out the repository and dataset here: github.com/thousandbrai...

‼️We just released a public dataset and repo for ultrasound perception using Monty.
Work on this could improve automatic analysis and guidance for diagnostic ultrasound, especially in low-resource settings. Open for everyone to explore.🌏
