Excited to release a new version of #FlyGym, our Python library for the fly neuromechanical model #NeuroMechFly! You can now simulate thousands of flies in parallel on the GPU, leading to a ~300x speed-up on a single RTX 4090. CPU simulation is also ~10x faster. More info at neuromechfly.org

Check out our latest work on fly muscle modeling and simulation, led by @gzmozd.bsky.social and Chuanfang Ning!
🪰 How do dozens of tiny fly muscles cooperate to move a leg? We’re excited to share the first 3D, data-driven musculoskeletal model of Drosophila legs based on Hill-type muscles, running in OpenSim and MuJoCo simulation environments. Preprint: arxiv.org/abs/2509.06426
