So we literally have a random dragon names generator.

You actually hit something here as well, because part of why we venture towards dragons at all is that, well, this is a mythical creature, right?
The Neuron: AI Explained
Inside Pathway’s Brain-Like AI: Zuzanna Stamirowska on Continual Learning, Memory & Real-Time Reasoning
Yeah.
The Neuron: AI Explained
Inside Pathway’s Brain-Like AI: Zuzanna Stamirowska on Continual Learning, Memory & Real-Time Reasoning
That nobody believed it could exist.
The Neuron: AI Explained
Inside Pathway’s Brain-Like AI: Zuzanna Stamirowska on Continual Learning, Memory & Real-Time Reasoning
This is where, okay, we're in the business of building dragons.
The Neuron: AI Explained
Inside Pathway’s Brain-Like AI: Zuzanna Stamirowska on Continual Learning, Memory & Real-Time Reasoning
So I think it was a realization we had very early on.
The Neuron: AI Explained
Inside Pathway’s Brain-Like AI: Zuzanna Stamirowska on Continual Learning, Memory & Real-Time Reasoning
And indeed, we're talking about continual learning, in time, long horizon reasoning.
The Neuron: AI Explained
Inside Pathway’s Brain-Like AI: Zuzanna Stamirowska on Continual Learning, Memory & Real-Time Reasoning
and adaptation over time, right?
The Neuron: AI Explained

To new data, new learnings, et cetera.
The Neuron: AI Explained

So the way it works, it's actually a bit like a brain that works on silicon.
The Neuron: AI Explained
Inside Pathway’s Brain-Like AI: Zuzanna Stamirowska on Continual Learning, Memory & Real-Time Reasoning
So a bit like a brain, I mean, there's a concept, this is very nerdy, the concept called Hebbian learning, like a very simple principles of how the brain works.
The Neuron: AI Explained
Inside Pathway’s Brain-Like AI: Zuzanna Stamirowska on Continual Learning, Memory & Real-Time Reasoning
I guess you can imagine that the brain has neurons, which are like little cells, right?
The Neuron: AI Explained
Inside Pathway’s Brain-Like AI: Zuzanna Stamirowska on Continual Learning, Memory & Real-Time Reasoning
And then connections between neurons, which are synapses.
The Neuron: AI Explained
Inside Pathway’s Brain-Like AI: Zuzanna Stamirowska on Continual Learning, Memory & Real-Time Reasoning
And this is kind of how we have kind of dots are like neurons and then links between the neurons.
The Neuron: AI Explained
Inside Pathway’s Brain-Like AI: Zuzanna Stamirowska on Continual Learning, Memory & Real-Time Reasoning
And this is like a big network.
The Neuron: AI Explained
Inside Pathway’s Brain-Like AI: Zuzanna Stamirowska on Continual Learning, Memory & Real-Time Reasoning
that we have in our heads.
The Neuron: AI Explained
Inside Pathway’s Brain-Like AI: Zuzanna Stamirowska on Continual Learning, Memory & Real-Time Reasoning
And this is a very simple model because, you know, somebody who's like a neuroscientist or a biologist would say, well, yeah, but you have all those chemical reactions, all this and that.
The Neuron: AI Explained
Inside Pathway’s Brain-Like AI: Zuzanna Stamirowska on Continual Learning, Memory & Real-Time Reasoning
I mean, here we're really just looking at the very stripped down, very basic, very simple, you know, structure.
The Neuron: AI Explained
Inside Pathway’s Brain-Like AI: Zuzanna Stamirowska on Continual Learning, Memory & Real-Time Reasoning
Like, we know that birds fly and they have wings, right?
The Neuron: AI Explained

We don't need to know how they've really, like,
