an interactive playground for AI & LLMs
Explore
Every idea behind modern AI stands on the ones before it. Wander the constellation of papers, play with live diagrams, train a real network in your browser - and watch your own map light up as you go.
everyone behind the map - authors, each linked to their papers
papers and lessons you've favorited.
group papers and lessons into shareable reading lists.
A scratchpad to write, run and save little JS experiments. You get console, a 300×300 canvas/ctx to draw on, and TensorFlow.js (just reference tf).
Every breakthrough behind modern AI stands on the ones before it. Neurons.fun plots the landmark papers - from the 1958 perceptron to today's frontier models - as one connected lineage. Each node is a paper; each edge is an idea passed forward.
A curated set of landmark papers you can browse as a chronological timeline or a force-directed graph, where every link is a relationship - builds-on, inspired-by, generalizes, contradicts. Filter by org, focus and impact, or search.
Interactive lessons with live diagrams, quizzes, and in-browser coding exercises - including training a real neural net with TensorFlow.js. Start from the math you need (vectors, matrices, activations) and build up to transformers and diffusion.
Sign in to favorite papers and lessons, build shareable reading lists, and follow curated learning paths that highlight a route through the graph - the road to the transformer, diffusion, RL, interpretability and more. Every lesson you read lights a neuron on your own skill tree; pass its quiz and solve its exercise to see it done.
