Uses the larval fruit fly connectome of Winding et al. 2023, 2,952 neurons and about 110,000 connections, as a fixed reservoir. The wiring is never modified, because you cannot edit an animal's connectome; only a one-layer linear readout is trained on the activity it produces. On handwritten digits that readout reaches 94 per cent against a 10 per cent baseline. It installs with pip, downloads the connectome once and exposes digit and time-series tasks behind a small API.
