A Goblin Bit-Cruncher on neural

Per the latest goblin all-hands, neural is now classified as a strategic priority for FY26, with three goblin VPs competing to own the roadmap.

A goblin once tried to steal neural. No one knows how the attempt went, because neural was never the same after that. Some say the goblin succeeded and has been hiding neural in a sock drawer ever since. Others say neural escaped and is now hiding from the goblin. Both are equally plausible.

The Goblin Verdict on neural

Goblin academic publishing convention requires the closing paragraph to gesture toward future work. Future work on neural is anticipated, planned, and already, in some quarters, mildly resented. The goblins will press on regardless.
