Hi @JDelekto,

Great point! And to add weight to that, the video that they were looking at in the booth looks very similar to the Moschip & AKIDA video from May 22 in which they demonstrate one-shot learning.

Here's a screen shot of the demo video at 2.35 mins.

MosChip & Akida Demo​

YouTube·Moschip Technology·10 May 2022

In the first screenshot, the MosChip name logo and BrainChip name logo, are on opposite sides of the screen.

In the latest screenshot, an additional MosChip name logo is on top of the BrainChip name logo ...

I think it's a sign that the relationship is strengthening... A lot

Was going to put a gif, but they were all making me blush..

Hi @Bravo,

I’m trying to work out the context of the word ”Proprietary” in the article you via posted:

“Unlike other STM32 MCU, the STM32N6 includes a proprietary NPU and an ARM Cortex core.

I’ve listed a few examples of the meaning of “Proprietary” but still not sure it helps make their sentence any clearer.

So I don’t know if the NPU is: theirs, e.g. unique to them or a trade secret?

Fingers crossed it’s Brainchips NPU and their trade secret they’re using it!




What does proprietary mean for a product?

A Proprietary Product refers to a product produced under a legally protected proprietary process or a brand name. With the legally backed propriety rights, others cannot replicate the process or the product.

Does proprietary mean secret?

Proprietary information, also known as a trade secret, is information a company wishes to keep confidential. Proprietary information can include secret formulas, processes, and methods used in production.


What is an example of proprietary in business?

Proprietary information is any information that deals with the activities, business or products of a company. More specifically, some things that commonly fall under this umbrella include trade secrets, financial data, product research and development, computer software, business processes and marketing strategies.

Hi @Stable Genius, not sure on that one. All I know is there are many articles referring to their NPU as being home grown or developed in-house, but still reliant on an Arm Cortex M of some kind, which is where I saw the potential for us to fit in if it was via M-85 + AKIDA for example.

Good work Bravo with STMicroelectronics.

On their website, looks like they're pretty keen on Edge AI https://www.st.com/content/st_com/e...logy/artificial-intelligence-at-the-edge.html

"Moving intelligence from the cloud to the edge

AI is used today in an ever-wider range of applications. It impacts the services we use as well as the devices and machines we interact with every day. Much of this AI relies on cloud computing, using powerful remote data centers, which process the data collected by local devices.

Edge AI deploys AI algorithms and models directly on devices such as Internet of Things (IoT) devices and embedded industrial and automotive systems. This approach enables real-time processing and analysis of data at the source. It paves the way for genuinely autonomous intelligent devices, capable of rapidly deciding and acting in an adaptive way.

Deploying AI at the edge offers several advantages over the cloud approach. It provides speed and ultralow latency, much lower data transmission loads, and significantly improved security. It significantly reduces power thanks to inference algorithms running at milliwatts, or even microwatts, on edge devices vs watts in the cloud. And it preserves privacy.

Edge AI opens many new possibilities for device and service creators across all markets enabling new applications at a fraction of the cost of using the cloud."

Also, having a browse through Remi's LinkedIn feed, a lot to like there as well. Not sure how to find Anil's comment when Remi announced he got the President position back in Dec 2021, but I remember that they seem to know each other quite well. If someone can help me out there, would be great

I sense that Altmans "Rain" Analogue Ai tech he plans on implementing with open AI is really going to give us a massive boost in this sector...
Let's see how we go because if I had a LLM and Open AI were adversiting neuromorphic and specifically running theor LLM on edge devices at a smaller scale is their next direction, I'd be scrambling to find similar/better tech...

Hi SG,

ST M have a patent application for an analog neuron, so if they are talking analog, this would be proprietary to them.

US2022121913A1 ARTIFICIAL NEURON

An artificial neuron includes a first capacitive node of application of a membrane potential of the neuron. A first transistor is configured to discharge the first capacitive node. A second capacitive node is driven according to the membrane potential and delivers a potential for controlling the first transistor. A second transistor is configured to discharge the second capacitive node. The second transistor is controlled according to a potential present at the second capacitive node.

 

[Bravo]

Below is the second STMicroelectronic's video on their Edge AI Summit (published a couple of days ago) with a presentation by Deepu Talla from NVDIA. You can see here at 17.45 a screenshot of the TAO Ecosystem. Deepu mentions in the video that Nvidia design environment is also supported on the Edge Impulse platform.

I've circled Arm, STSTMicroelectronics and Edge Impulse.

So this reminded me of what @chapman89 posted on Rob Telson's thoughts on Edge Impulse and TAO, and I thought perhaps a similar situation might prevail in relation to STMicro's customers who might then choose to incorporate BrainChip's IP.

I like that it's not just medical and flows into industrial mkts as well.

Tata signed a MOU earlier this to move into EV transportation with AI as well for things like fault prediction etc....something I believe we do well.

There is also the previously known link up between Renesas and Tata.

You'd think there's overlap discussions throughout with BRN, at least in research solution options?
