Prior devices have had around 1,000 channels, and they've shared that eventually, the devices for BlindSight and other future applications will have more than 10,000 combined channels.

And Neuralink's president, DJ, added more context for how this works.

The participant initiates this with a key press, thinks the words loudly, then commits with a second key press.

What you hear is his own voice, trained and generated by Grok at SpaceX AI.

She was implanted in June at University of Michigan Health with their Connexis device, which has 421 electrodes, and in September, she generated her own sentences in real time, answered open-ended questions, and spoke with her grandchildren on a live phone call.

The first sentence she chose to say on her own was, "Okay, I have a lot to say." And when the neurosurgeon asked what she would tell someone considering the study, she said, "Don't be afraid.

It's a wonderful experience to help others by participation in research." Paradromics CEO Matt Angle shared, "She determines what she wants to say, and the system enables her to say it." Secondly, Science Corporation, the company founded by Neuralink's former president Max Hodak, posted this.

I had perfect vision, uh, up till 2010.

At launch, threads run in the cloud, but Anthropic says support for local tools and code is coming very soon.

The updated projects feature is available in beta starting today for select Claude Pro and Max subscribers, with access expanding to all Pro, Max, Team, and Enterprise users later, as well as Cowork and regular Claude chats," end quote.

'Look inside any VC's office and the kind of companies they are discussing over the last couple of years has transformed.' Excluding the giant sums plowed into AI startups, global investment in deep tech companies whose products are rooted in big scientific or engineering advances has exceeded a hundred and fifty billion dollars since the start of twenty twenty-four, more than the a hundred and thirty-three billion dollars in the entire decade to the end of twenty nineteen, according to Dealroom.

Ambitious founders in Silicon Valley are cheering a return to greater risk-taking from investors after an extended stretch following the dot-com bust in which VCs became preoccupied with backing predictable enterprise software companies.

'The most profitable startups to invest in were all software businesses on the Internet for a period of time when the Internet was new and growing,' said Max Hodak, co-founder of Science, a brain-computer interface startup.

'That sucked a lot of oxygen out of physical hardware because it's harder.
