BRN Discussion Ongoing

[Steve10]

Makes complete sense. Huge re-rate if this is the case too, defence contracts can be lucrative and long lasting particularly as the tech develops into bigger and better offerings.
Makes me think though that if we're close to signing deals with USA plus perhaps allies defence then this might rule out any contracts with Chinese phone companies such as Huawei, Oppo, Vivo etc (which may be the case anyway ATM). If AKIDA proves to be as revolutionary as we suspect then Western nations will want to keep that advantage under wraps. IMHO

I was thinking the same thing about the ramifications of Akida IP in Chinese phones.

US adopts "zero trust" with commercial foundries for supply of advanced chips.

I think this was already mentioned in previous post but
"
GlobalFoundries is a semiconductor foundry that has trusted foundry status for the U.S. federal government and other countries1. It has contracts with DOD to provide secure chips for military systems. It has three trusted foundry sites in East Fishkill, NY; Burlington, VT; and Malta,

Well this has to be for one of Megachips customers then.
In the announcement it said for specific customers.

Thanks @Tothemoon24

I personally had not seen this nor read it being discussed. It is very significant news that MegaChips was involved with the backend design as they indicated they were looking to produce a COTS AKIDA chip for particular customers.

Peter van der Made said the market did not understand the significance of MegaChips and this is increasingly becoming an understatement.

MegaChips original press release with Brainchip listed automotive and industrial use.

Not if but when and I don’t mind if my when is smaller than yours @Diogenese it is after all when you use it that counts and it could be sooner than we thought.

My opinion only DYOR

Could the chips be for the Panasonic robot dog?

The latest MegaChips presentation mentions "Aim to launch products leveraging BrainChips' next generation edge based AI solutions".

Whereas Quadric is still at the commercialization stage.

Image processing (blur) mentioned.

Looks that way Chappy ,

The search begins for who & what , Megachips are like me & money very tight …. Unless spending on Brn shares

Last year the President issued a decree banning the supply of advanced technology to China.

The document was discussed here and it is clear that the definition of artificial intelligence would cover AKIDA technology. So as that ban continues and has been strengthened by the USA having the EU ban the shipping of the technology needed to produce advanced chips to China it is in my opinion impossible for AKIDA to be used by Chinese companies for any purpose.

Being Science Fiction sealed AKIDA’s fate.

'Aim to launch' means more to me - all of the commercialization steps are complete and we're ready to go to market with an actual product

Ok Foxdog you're 1st off the block CORRECT!

So i submit exhibit $$$$$$ to all my fellow brnrs - ENJOY !

straight from Megachips Corporation Briefing FY2022 3Q (ending MARCH 2023) issued Feb 2023. Page 15!!!!!

Very, very encouraging, thanks

Morning Chippers,

Some may find the below article interesting, taken from Weekend Financial Review.

Cannot recall who , sorry, but a little while ago one of our sleuths put up a visual display of Brainchip internet traffic globaly. Alot of chatter was originating out of Vietnam if memory serves......

The second article , well thought I'd add my guess on where we should be pressently......

Not financial advice... may be more... DYOR.

Esq.

I have been looking at Edge Impulse blogs and noting there are 60,000+ developers running 130,000+ projects the following seems even to this old technophobe significant:

“Deployment Options​

Any model that has been developed in the impulse design on Edge Impulse Studio can be deployed to BrainChip Akida target devices. In order to download these models for custom deployments, developers must choose the BrainChip MetaTFTMmodel block (refer Figure 5a) under the deployment stage to obtain a .zip file with the converted model in it. Alternatively, there is also a BrainChip Akida PCIe deployment block (refer Figure 5b) available which will generate a pre-built binary that can be used with Edge Impulse Linux CLI to run on any compatible Linux installation where this board is installed.

Figure 6a: Download BrainChip Akida-compatible model for custom deployment on BrainChip Akida devices	Figure 6b: Download pre-built binary for AKD1000 mini PCIe development board

The pre-built binary that is provided from the deployment block also has in-built tools that provide performance metrics for the AKD1000 mini PCI reference board (refer Figure 7). This is a very unique integration as developers can not only deploy their favorite projects to BrainChip Akida devices but can also capture information such as efficiency that help build a prototype system with Akida technology”

BrainChip Akida™ Platform Features in Edge Impulse

This blog highlights the new features with BrainChip technology that are now available in Edge Impulse Studio.

www.edgeimpulse.com

Unless I am completely missing the point what Edge Impulse is saying is that any of the existing 130,000 projects can be simply deployed to AKIDA and you will be provided with performance figures so you can see the advantages such as they may be of running on AKIDA.

Later in this blog they talk about things an advanced user could additionally do so again this suggests that checking to see if AKIDA will improve performance is as simple as falling off a technology log.

This suggests at least to me that 1% is a very conservative estimate of what is happening in the Edge Impulse developer world where AKIDA is concerned.

Image processing (blur) mentioned.

Agreed @Steve10, that's what caught my eye when first reading it. The very first "Target Application" listed is:

• Image processing (blur, background elimination, etc).

So, what products would require this application?

That is a very interesting statement from Douglas.

Thanks, Tothemoon24.

If we look through Douglas LinkedIn; all his posts in the last 6 month is promoting BrainChip and recently MorseMicro ( Due to the investment of Megachips to MorseMicro)

What I find intresting is MorseMicro' WiFi Halo is base on the RISC-V architecture. We know BrainChip had partner with SiFive, so in essence, AKIDA should be compatible with RISC-V architecture.

BrainChip + Megachips + MorseMicro ( perhaps a mé·na·ges à trois to dominate WIFI without the internet???)

Edit: WiFi security cameras without internet.
