🌸 An Update is Blooming in First-Person Data Explorer — This Saturday, 8/9! 🌸

After two years of developing with ChatGPT, The Neural Garden will be the first Explorer — and certainly not the last — primarily designed by ChatGPT.

FPDE is delighted to announce The Neural Garden — an animated Explorer that brings your data to life in a living, blooming landscape of neurons and petals.

Conceived and shaped in collaboration with ChatGPT — from the initial spark and name, to the flowing movement, intricate shapes, and vibrant palette — The Neural Garden is part data visualization, part interactive art.

Release date: Saturday, August 9th

Included in this update:

🌿 The Neural Garden Explorer
- 🎨 Choose your own colors and see BMU weights in vivid detail
- 🐝 Follow each data sample through every iteration
- 🔍 Zoom in and inspect the numbers driving each BMU

Hope to see you in the garden to watch the flowers bloom! 🌺
