EMBER: Autonomous Cognitive Behaviour from Learned Spiking Neural Network Dynamics in a Hybrid LLM Architecture
Researchers present EMBER, a hybrid architecture combining spiking neural networks with large language models where the SNN acts as a persistent, biologically-inspired memory substrate that autonomously triggers LLM reasoning. The system demonstrates emergent autonomous behavior, initiating unprompted user contact after learning associations during idle periods, suggesting a fundamental shift in how AI systems could coordinate cognition and action.
