This $149 digital candle uses AI to accurately simulate a flickering flame

Kevin Bates has created a digital candle that uses AI to simulate a flickering flame across 144 amber-colored LEDs. The candle's flame simulation is unique each time it's displayed, as it's generated on the fly by a neural network trained on footage of a real candle's flame. The device is open-source and can be repurposed as a clock, notification screen, or to run other simulations.
