The level of LLM intelligence that cost $1.22 per task in February costs $0.022 today, a 56x drop in six months. I pulled a year of @ArtificialAnlys data to trace how the cost of each capability level has fallen, and the rate is accelerating.

Introducing zarr-matlab 🎉
Zarr v3, natively in MATLAB. A free, open-source, pure-MATLAB implementation of the Zarr spec — chunked, compressed, cloud-friendly N-D arrays, tested for interop with zarr-python on every commit.

We gave a tutorial on @NeurodataWB and DANDI at @CosyneMeeting this year. If you couldn't make it (or want a refresher), the recording covers everything from data standardization to finding and reusing public neurophysiology datasets on DANDI.

Mission: record hippocampal place cells in zero gravity
Crew: 3 rats with electrode arrays
Vehicle: Space Shuttle Columbia
Status: data now publicly available on DANDI, 28 years later
The ratstronauts' mission is finally complete. 🐀🐀🐀🚀 h/t @NASA

Looking forward to seeing everyone at SfN this week! Stop by our booth (#3831) to learn about NWB and the @DANDIarchive, check out our posters on multi-modal open data ecosystems and AI coding agents, or catch one of our showcase talks throughout the conference. Full schedule:
Thrilled to publish this in @thetransmitter - such a thoughtful platform for the conversations neuroscience needs to be having about AI, open science, and the future of our field.
With LLMs, researchers can develop software entirely through natural language conversations. This shift is transforming how research gets done, offering new opportunities and new challenges, writes @bendichter.com.

NWB just turned 10 years old! Researchers worldwide have downloaded 1.9 PB of NWB data from the @DANDIArchive. This animation shows the reach of NWB, facilitating collaboration across the globe. What impact has open neurophysiology data had on your science? Share your stories! 🧠
My first piece with @thetransmitter is out! Open data reuse is transforming neuroscience—350+ datasets on @DANDIarchive in @NeurodataWB, new tools like Neurosift making analysis easier, and researchers like @J_S_Farrell discovering new insights from open data as a key resource
Data reuse represents an opportunity to accelerate science, reduce costs and increase the value of investments. But to date, the field hasn't placed equal emphasis on the reuse side of the data-sharing equation, writes @BenDichter.

Check out our new paper on the @NeurodataWB software ecosystem on @eLife! I'm honored to be a part of this team! #OpenScience elifesciences.org/articles/7…
Neurophysiology data is so expensive and valuable. Let’s not waste it! Let's share it and reuse it!
Our @eLife paper (elifesciences.org/articles/7…) outlines the NWB software ecosystem for standardizing, analyzing, and sharing neurophysiology data #tweeprint 1/11

New blog alert! 📢
In our latest installment, @BenDichter and @MirjamJG discuss five approaches to professional #matchmaking using #algorithms: the good 👍, the bad 👎, and the unwieldy 😵💫.
