Upload Labs: [Bug Report] AI Trainers Aren't Giving Neurons (Workarounds)

Short answer

No confirmed fix yet. Players suggest: Works fine for me.

How to fix it

  1. Check the input format – The trainer requires two numeric values separated by a slash (e.g., 100/500b or 100/5.0e11). Make sure your file’s input follows this pattern exactly.
  2. Verify the numbers are large enough – The game only generates a Neuron when the values meet the minimum “enough input” threshold. If the numbers are too small, no Neuron will be created. Increase the values and try again.
  3. Remove or change modifiers – While the issue has been reported with many modifiers (protected, decoded, certified, verified, compressed, torrented, seeded, AI), testing with a plain file (no modifiers) can help isolate the problem. Upload a basic file without any modifiers and see if a Neuron appears.
  4. Test with a different file type – The bug appears across all file types, but some players report success with certain types. Try uploading a different file format to see if the Neuron is awarded.

If it still doesn't work

  • Ensure the input numbers are entered correctly and include the slash separator.
  • Double‑check that there are no hidden characters or spaces in the input string.
  • Try uploading the file on a fresh game session (restart Upload Labs).
  • Compare your results with another player who reports “Works fine for me” to see if the issue is specific to your setup.
  • If none of the above steps produce a Neuron, the problem may be unresolved in the current build; keep an eye on future updates or community posts for a potential fix.

What players reported

It happens with all file types, it gets uploaded and no Neurons are generated. As far as I know, it happens with files with no modifiers, and files with the protected, decoded, certified, verified, compressed, torrented, seeded, and AI modifiers

What players suggest

Works fine for me. Do you have enough input? The Trainer should have 2 Numbers in the input like 100/500b (or 100/5.0e11 in scientific). You only generate a Neuron when you have enough input.

Bug in Thread and or Download Manager

Based on what little can be seen in that image, you copy and pasted the nodes and never clicked the checkmark so they are in a paused limbo state. This is user error, not a bug.

How to Use the [New Game+] SMART Node?

How it works: For each node it is connected to, it uses the minimum required to maximise a given output, and when it's connected to a chain of processes, it starts from beginning to end. There's no logic to save if the first connected node receives more files than it can handle in the whole chain…
