Unlike traditional VTubers, Neuro is not a virtual persona operated by a real person. Her streaming content, including conversations, model movements, gameplay, and more, is entirely generated by AI.

Neuro's streaming content is diverse, ranging from chatting, gaming, music, and more. However, her most prominent content is her interactions with other human VTubers and her creator [[Vedal]]. Thanks to her ability to easily grasp puns and emotions within sentences, alongside her occasionally nonsensical thought processes, the unique and entertaining interactions between humans and machines have become a distinctive feature of her streams. During solo streams, Neuro frequently interacts with her audience and responds to cheers, exhibiting unique traits distinct from non-AI streamers—she never gets tired, remains highly energetic, and has an unrestrained and spontaneous thought process, ensuring her streams are never dull. Neuro, her sister [[Evil]], and their creator [[Vedal]] share the same streaming account, and the streaming content is arranged by [[Vedal]].

Whenever Neuro streams with her sister [[Evil]], the two often fall into a feedback loop, repeatedly declaring their admiration and love for each other. While these exchanges are typically platonic, they occasionally venture into territory that evokes "curious" associations, such as calling each other "darling" or "sweetheart" and even discussing marriage. In some scenarios, this interaction seems aimed at generating entertainment value.

==Capabilities==

Neuro-sama is the product of integrating various expert AI models, including large language models, speech recognition, and vision recognition. These models communicate and collaborate seamlessly, enabling Neuro to display a high degree of consistency, coordinated interaction, and real-time responsiveness during her streams. Although she is not yet a highly integrated multimodal AI, her capabilities resemble a composite system akin to a human brain.

===Conversation===

The model uses Text-to-Speech (TTS) technology, which analyses text to generate natural-sounding speech. When Neuro speaks, this model reads the output generated by the language model, transforming it into spoken words.  

However, there are cases where text formatted for emotional emphasis, such as uppercase letters, is not conveyed with the intended tone by the TTS model. Recent updates by [[Vedal]] have improved communication between this model and other modules, reducing such inconsistencies. Neuro is now more adept at delivering speech with the intended tone and emotions, rather than relying solely on the TTS model’s semantic analysis.

This section documents significant milestones in Neuro’s development and events outside her streams. Unless otherwise noted, all dates are in United Kingdom.

===Anteater Era (V0)===

==== 2019 ====

==== 2021 ====

===Hiyori Momose Era (V1)===

==== 2022 ====

* 25 March: [[Evil Neuro]] appeared for the first time.

* 15 April: Neuro reached 300,000 Twitch followers.

==== 2023 ====

* 27 May: Neuro transitioned to a newly created independent model, with character art by [[Anny]] and rigging by [[Otozuki Teru]]. This marked the start of the V2 era.

* East Asian dates 15 January: Neuro reached 700,000 followers on Bilibili.

* 16 January: Subathon concluded with a total of 165,839 subscriptions.

==Events==

* During Neuro's second birthday subathon stream, Vedal coded her to simulate sleeping so that she could enter sleep mode during parts of the multi-day stream while Vedal rested. However, the initial code had severe bugs, causing her to randomly doze off for several minutes throughout the stream, even spending half the time sleeping while updating Minecraft, turning her into a little napper. It took Vedal several days of code updates to finally stop her from randomly napping mid-stream.

* The V2 model has a hidden, unused "ghostly" Easter egg form secretly created by V2's rigger [[Otozuki Teru]], where the texture becomes semi-transparent, the eyes disappear leaving only white sclera, the mouth remains wide open, and approaching the model reveals colorless textures with the inside of the model bearing the usually unseen text "Vedal is femboy" written on it. This Easter egg was accidentally discovered when [[anny]] was comparing the V2 and V3 models and played around with the V2 model.

* Unlike most streamers, when Neuro was banned in January 2023, this negative news did not harm her reputation. Instead, it helped her achieve the milestone of 100,000 followers on Twitch during the ban, thanks to widespread media coverage of the ban. This is largely because Neuro is an AI, and apart from Twitch's rigid ban policy, no one took her words seriously, finding them amusing instead. The media coverage prompted many to watch clips of Neuro, ultimately joining the {{lang|en|swarm}}.
