- The Real Origin of my Neuromorphic AI journey. It started with frustration and a very personal need. I was 25, bouncing between majors — economics, finance, pre-med, computer science, and finally electrical engineering. Each switch came from the same feeling: I wanted to build things, understand systems at a deep level, and create something meaningful. But traditional classes and tutors were often hard for me as someone with ADHD. I struggled to grasp material quickly, and I hated how easily people got impatient when I needed things explained again. That’s when I realized I needed a better way to learn. I wanted a local AI tutor — something patient, always available, that could help me with heavy engineering concepts, Rust, Julia, and whatever else I was studying. AI like Gemini had already shown me how powerful a non-judgmental tutor could be. It never got frustrating. It just kept adapting. But my hardware couldn’t run the big models smoothly. The smaller ones weren’t smart enough for the kind of technical work I needed. So, I started thinking: what if I could build my own tailored AI tutor that actually ran well on my machine? Around that time, I made the switch from CS to EE. I wanted to understand hardware at a fundamental level. While exploring, I started mining on Dynex — not primarily for profit, but as an experiment. I wanted to see if I could turn the mining telemetry (power draw, temperature curves, clock behavior, memory pressure) into something useful. I had this idea: what if the AI could “feel” its own hardware limits? What if the telemetry became the AI’s heartbeat — a real signal of stress, adaptation, and constraint? That simple question opened the door to Spiking Neural Networks. SNNs mimic biological brains in a way that felt closer to how humans actually learn and recover — especially after my own concussion from 7th-grade football, which left me with years of invisible struggles: depression, social isolation, and the constant feeling that no one fully understood what was happening inside my head. I had even tried switching to pre-med during COVID because I wanted to help people with concussions and neurological injuries, but that path wasn’t right for me. SNNs felt like a different way to approach the same goal — building systems that understand struggle, adaptation, and resilience. So, the project shifted. What began as “I need a local AI tutor” became something deeper: creating an AI that doesn’t just run on hardware but learns from the real stress and behavior of that hardware—turning Dynex telemetry into a heartbeat. Using that signal to drive SNN quantization. And ultimately building Spikenaut — a pure, from-scratch spiking neural network. It wasn't perfect, yet it was all. There were still some gaps in my telemetry that I didn't even realize. I tried using different mining telemetry, tried creating my own HFT bot for telemetry, then I tried using mining sync node data. However, in telemetry data, there were at times zeros in value, after I had used it for training.

- Then out of nowhere, I started adding heavy mods like DLSS 4.0 and path tracing for Cyberpunk 2077 and the RE4 remake. The thing is that my workstation pc was much louder than crypto mining. So, a lightbulb in my head came up, " What if I tried recording gaming telemetry data for Neuromorphic spike data conversion. I even told some people, and I could see it in their face, that they didn't believe in me. The same thing happened with my first SNN experiment. So, one day I was asking Grok 4.20 about it. At first, it didn't believe my idea, but I explained how I use mining telemetry data hardware to create an artificial heartbeat for AI. Grok became super excited about my new idea. The Resident Evil 4 gaming telemetry came later and helped shape the early thermal equations that fed into SAAQ, but the true origin was much more personal: the struggle to learn on my own terms, the switch from CS to EE, and the desire to build something that could adapt the way I needed to adapt. That’s where Spikenaut really began.

+ **Dataset for Spikenaut SNN Research**
7
 
8
+ This dataset contains latent telemetry and routing data generated from the SNN-quantized version of AllenAI’s OLMoE-1B-7B-0125-Instruct model using the `corinth-canal` pipeline.
9
+
10
+ ### Purpose
11
+ These files are used to study spiking behavior, routing stability, and adaptive quantization (SAAQ) in SNN-converted MoE models. The data feeds SymbolicRegression.jl to discover new equations for improved SNN quantization and ultimately trains the pure native **Spikenaut** SNN.
12

13
+ ### Folder Structure

15
+ - **routing/** — CSV files containing routing and latent telemetry data
16
+ - **first-day/** — Early experimental runs (optional)
17
+ - **SAAQ 3.0/** — Future runs with new algorithm versions
18
+ - **experiments/** — Additional test configurations and variants
19

AI like Google Gemini had already shown me how powerful a non-judgmental tutor could be. It never got frustrating. It just kept adapting.
33

34
+ So I made an investment to build my very own workstation. Thinking RTX 5080 was going to be enough for state of art models. My hardware couldn’t run the big models smoothly. The smaller ones weren’t smart enough for the kind of technical work I needed. So, I started thinking: what if I could build my own tailored AI tutor that actually ran well on my machine? Around that time, I made the switch from CS to EE. I wanted to understand hardware at a fundamental level. While exploring, I started mining on Dynex — not primarily for profit, but as an experiment.
