The Shiu et al. LIF model of the full FlyWire brain, 138,639 neurons and 15,091,983 weighted synapses, run on a 16 GB laptop at about 2.5 s per simulated second, then 17,628 virtual knockouts across three sensory reflexes in 9.88 machine-hours. Agreement with published behaviour, as Cohen's kappa per pathway: 0.59 for sugar, 0.87 for water, 0.91 for grooming (n = 1). A browser game runs a 4,599-neuron subcircuit live. The 65,000-character Chinese report lists 28 errors the author found in their own work, and what the model cannot do: no learning, and all 307 PAM dopamine neurons sit at 0 Hz.
