@vclay reviews the accomplishments of 2025, including the Thousand Brains Project’s transition to a non-profit, a charitable entity, the launch of our new website, academic collaborations, the release of two significant papers, Monty’s first real-world sensor movement, learning and inference improvements, and much more. Viviane also outlines our goals for 2026, focusing on adding core capabilities to the system along with platform quality improvements, community growth, and the new Solutions Incubator for incentivizing the community to build demos and applications with Monty.
