SmolFly

Injects a Drosophila connectome graph of 28,994 neurons and 1,814,208 directed synaptic edges into layer 16 of SmolLM2-360M as a persistent leaky-integrator reservoir, without retraining the graph. In-degree normalisation holds the unweighted graph near criticality (largest Lyapunov exponent +0.0309, branching ratio 1.0220). The claim is tested against a degree-preserving null: scrambling the biological targets costs 0.0781 nats of cross-entropy, about 1.58 per cent. The README calls the graph hemibrain plus ventral nerve cord but never names the released dataset behind it.
