An open-source, sensorimotor learning system following the principles of the neocortex.
This repository contains the first implementation of a sensorimotor learning system from the Thousand Brains Project at Numenta. We lovingly call it Monty after Vernon Mountcastle, who proposed cortical columns as a repeating functional unit across the neocortex.
This is an open-source project by Numenta, partially funded by the Gates Foundation.
Please find our full documentation here
You can find detailed instructions on how to install the project requirements and how to get started here
We regularly evaluate this system against a set of sensorimotor tasks, summarized in the benchmark experiments. Any time a functional change is made to the code, these experiments are rerun, and results are updated.
You can find our current performance on these benchmarks as well as an explanation of them here.

This is not production-ready code. It is an early beta version that is under active development. This early beta version is functional but evolving. Expect frequent changes as we develop core features.
You can find a list of the systems current capabilities and application criteria here.
You can find our project road map and details on the next features we are working on here.
As mentioned above, we have extensive documentation of this project here.
We also publish our meeting recordings on YouTube on the Thousand Brains Project channel.
