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

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…
