Sensory-First Intelligence: An Agent-Driven Approach to Brain-Inspired Neural Architectures

Sensory-First Intelligence: An Agent-Driven Approach to Brain-Inspired Neural Architectures The dominant approach in artificial intelligence today is scaling — ever-larger models trained on ever-more data. While this has delivered impressive results, it is becoming unsustainable. Training frontier models now costs tens of millions of dollars and consumes vast amounts of energy. We are reaching hard economic and environmental limits. There is a more promising path forward — one that closely mirro
