In fact, a recent paper demonstrates that exact mappings between ANNs and SNNs exist: https://arxiv.org/abs/2212.12522 There are some pitfalls here, though, and I&amp;#x27;m biased against these kinds of methods because they don&amp;#x27;t use the temporal traces of the neuron integration. Regarding RWKV, someone actually trained a &amp;quot;SpikeGPT&amp;quot;: https://arxiv.org/abs/2302.13939 That&amp;#x27;s a neat insight, which will be great for porting these models onto energy-efficient…&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://hackerpaper.kaipfister.de/p/2302.13939/"&gt;Paper and discussion history&lt;/a&gt;.
