Zyphra Releases ZUNA1.1: An Apache 2.0 EEG Foundation Model With Variable-Length Inputs From 0.5 To 30 Seconds

Zyphra's ZUNA1.1 just 6x'd its input window. Here's why variable-length EEG models matter for brain-computer interfaces.

Why it matters

Zyphra expanded its open-source EEG foundation model to accept inputs from 0.5–30 seconds (vs. fixed 5s), improving flexibility for medical AI without sacrificing performance. This signals growing specialization in biomedical model infrastructure.

The key facts

12 to know
  1. ZUNA1.1 released July 16, 2026 under Apache 2.0

  2. 380M parameter masked diffusion autoencoder

  3. Variable-length input support: 0.5–30 seconds (6x range vs. ZUNA1's fixed 5s)

  4. Supports arbitrary scalp-EEG channel layouts

  5. NMSE performance held or improved despite expanded input range

  6. Open-source biomedical foundation model for EEG reconstruction, denoising, upsampling

  7. ZUNA1.1 released July 16, 2026 under Apache 2.0 license

  8. 380M parameter masked diffusion autoencoder architecture

  9. Variable-length input support: 0.5–30 seconds (vs. ZUNA1's fixed 5-second constraint)

  10. Capabilities: EEG reconstruction, denoising, upsampling across arbitrary channel layouts

  11. Performance: NMSE maintained or improved despite input range expansion

  12. Open-source positioning competes with closed biomedical AI models

Publisher excerpt: Zyphra released ZUNA1.1 on July 16, 2026, under the Apache 2.0 license. The 380M masked diffusion autoencoder reconstructs, denoises, and upsamples scalp-EEG across arbitrary channel layouts. It accepts variable-length inputs from 0.5 to 30 seconds, against ZUNA1's fixed five seconds. Reported NMSE…
