A Redditor notes that Google's open-sourced fruit fly brain model is all over X, but nobody posting about it can explain how to actually train it.
- The poster asked multiple people who shared it; none could answer how they trained the thing
- Pre-trained Doom-playing fruit flies exist on GitHub, but there's no unified framework for training on custom data
- The post solicits community members who have actually tried training it
The post highlights the gap between the project's viral spread and its usability/docs.
