@AgentRev thanks a lot for your more detailed replies here already! @markellingsen as @AgentRev already pointed out, there isn’t a lot of information available on how Song-Chun Zhu’s approach actually works, so I can’t rely talk to whether it is consistent with our approach and how the brain implements intelligence. As Jeff mentioned in [this thread](https://forum.thousandbrains.org/t/how-does-the-hierarchical-reasoning-model-fit-into-the-tbp-a-new-brain-inspired-ai-model/719/5), the way a system works internally is crucial to understanding whether it implements human-like intelligence. The general sentiment of moving away from the non-biological, power- and data-hungry deep learning/LLM solutions towards something that works more like how our brains work and how children learn sounds great.
