What is the DEEPX NPU engine?????

It's an "A.I." accelerator, not neuromorphic, nothing to do with us at all, by the looks of it.

But definitely competition, in spaces that Schnitzel lover doesn't seem to think the Market "needs" yet.


The future Edge A.I. market, is now being estimated at close to half a trillion dollars.

The Big Question is, how much of the addressable market can BrainChip and AKIDA secure.

Hey Stockduck, Diogenese is definitely the expert in this sort of area, but like you've figured yourself, this is just another accelerator.

Again more competition, a donkey in a horse race, in my opinion, but they will also likely get a share of the pie.

Edge A.I. being such a huge future space, is going to be heavily contested.

What we are experiencing, is basically a Cambrian Explosion in A.I. solutions.

Many will get out competed and be left by the wayside.

I don't believe, that this will be AKIDAs fate.

Yes, it's a rapid and crazy development with artificial intelligence and as a shareholder it's difficult to follow the connections exactly.

Here is another one to regard in the future:

New RISC-V Company Quintauris Joins Major Semiconductor Players, Names CEO - Embedded Computing Design

It was announced last August that semiconductor industry players Robert Bosch, Infineon, Nordic Semiconductor, NXP Semiconductors, and Qualcomm Technologies were planning to launch a joint venture into RISC-V, and now it has a name and a CEO.

embeddedcomputing.com

My personal only hope for a good development of the company is the recent personnel decisions regarding the global head of sales and the new technical director. I haven't been able to find out anything else really positive about the asx announcements at the moment.

So I have to be patient.....

That looks more like competition for the likes of ARM and SiFive, but another potential future partner for us.

You're forgetting the recent new US patent granting, which protects the learning aspects of AKIDA (a huge differentiator) for the next 20 years

BrainChip to Unveil Akida Neuromorphic Processor Enabled by Microchip’s 32-bit MPU at CES 2024​

Integrated solution demonstrates always-on machine learning tasks​

including keyword spotting and visual wake words​

Laguna Hills, Calif. – January 3, 2024 – BrainChip Holdings Ltd (ASX: BRN, OTCQX: BRCHF, ADR: BCHPY), the world’s first commercial producer of ultra-low power, fully digital, event-based, neuromorphic AI IP, will demonstrate how BrainChip’s Akida™ neuromorphic processor enables low-power, high-performance learning applications on Microchip’s embedded microprocessor (MPU) boards at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) 2024 in Las Vegas.

BrainChip is gearing up to spotlight the revolutionary capabilities of Akida in conjunction with Microchip’s SAMv71 Ultra Board and SAMA7G54-EK Board in a specialized demonstration. This unique showcase will shed light on two widely used always-on machine learning tasks: keyword spotting (KWS) and visual wake words (VWW). KWS, leveraging sophisticated neural networks, excels at recognizing keywords like “Hey, Siri” or “OK, Google.” Meanwhile, VWW is adept at classifying the presence of individuals in images, making it valuable for applications, such as in- home security and smart doorbells. With a focus on ultra-low latency, minimal power consumption and unparalleled accuracy, this demonstration aims to explore the forefront of innovation and showcase the incredible potential of Akida.

“We look forward to demonstrating the potential and ease of integrating Akida for always-on machine learning applications on embedded devices at CES,” said Rob Telson, Vice President of Ecosystem and Partnerships at BrainChip. “By combining our innovative neuromorphic processor and models with Microchip’s high-performance MPUs and boards, you can deliver compelling solutions to the market to serve the rapidly growing demand for TinyML at the Edge.”

“In this collaborative showcase with BrainChip, we will illustrate how our customers can leverage the advantages of next-generation AI to enable low-power, high-performance machine learning applications on our embedded platforms,” said Rod Drake, corporate vice president of Microchip’s MPU32 and MCU32 business units. “This is truly a not-to-miss demonstration at CES 2024.”

The demonstration will be held at the BrainChip booth 29-330 at the Venetian Hotel at CES 2024 January 9 to 12, 2024 in Las Vegas.

Got it… checking the financial health in multi-year sales tenders is indeed a common practice, but not necessarily mandatory. Some companies might opt for alternative methods to assess the reliability of their suppliers without conducting a comprehensive financial review. It depends on industry standards and individual agreements between companies. It cannot be generalized, especially when dealing with a startup where companies may make short-term decisions to enter into contracts

Yes not mandatory agreeded but big long term contracts require this if they have a customer that needs this security. Possibly even a Vendor for a Tape Out. Look in the end this is a 2.2% dilusion its hard to read in to it on what revenue we will have but even if they had 30 million just saying not suggesting it would leave about 7 million after 1 year. If they raised 13 million then they will have an extra 19 million. But if revenue starts showing up our SP will be north of the minimum and they may just raise 24 million or 36 million. I'm not certain. There is still alot of unknowns. This adds over all health to the company and longterm value. Just like the Microchip partnership its a company that generates 8 billion plus revenue. Things are starting to accumulate.

On the end, we just have to wait. There's nothing more to be done. Speculating and throwing around imaginary numbers doesn't make sense. All we can do is observe how BrainChip develops further and continue to trust that they're doing their best to generate significant revenues for a secure future for the company and shareholders.

In my experience with startups, achieving this often involves milestone contracts and short-term agreements to ensure that the customer doesn't face any unpleasant surprises. For instance, following the approach of "if everything is going well by then, we'll enter into a long-term contract." There are various contract clauses to safeguard both parties and guarantee a long-term collaboration. I don't know how these agreements look, and I don't want to speculate! Best of luck to everyone moving forward.

 

[TECH]

As the New Year starts to dawn, many posters would have noticed the daily articles, marketing that the company has now embarked on,
obviously all connected to CES 2024 out of Vegas next week.

This is 100% shaping up to be our best ever showing, "AKD II is what the company is going to be based on moving forward" I'd suggest
the first real major stepping stone to increasing revenues and engagements as has already been stated by the CEO.

"70% + of all interaction is based around Generation 2 Akida." "2024 is shaping up to be a critical year in the company's commercial journey"

I'd also suggest strapping yourselves in for a roller-coaster year...AKD I preparing for liftoff very shortly into space.

Here is one to get the chat started today linked to BRN patents pending approval (apparently 28 patents approx). I’m sure atleast Dio and FF can provide their thoughts from their point of view on patents.

On average a submitted patent before a patent office without a significant backlog, it takes a minimum of a year to process a patent application, with the length of time from filing to approval being about two years.

For example in the US, to get a patent, the US Patent Office must consider your invention novel, nonobvious, and useful. Novel, meaning nobody has made your invention already. Nonobvious, meaning your invention is not simply a small change from an existing invention.

Apparently Patent rejections are very common. For example, according to a recent study at Yale University, almost 90% of all patent applications receive some patent claim rejection. But conversely, 60% of all patent applications are eventually issued as patents.

My recall is most of BRN submitted patents waiting approval are atleast 2 years old ?
So is it just that 2024 (hopefully) will be the mass approval of BRN submitted patents waiting approval in different countries or is there more to it and could be in part due to the following

*** A big end tech company (like Nvidia) has existing or submitted patents that are very similar to BRN submitted patents so the patent office has challenge / disputing a BRN submitted patent for not being non obvious etc and therefore timeframe has been extended and /or further documentation has been requested from the patent office for reassessment. Yes I know who ever submits their patent first gets the upper hand.

Yeah I could just email tony Dawe but he is only holidays and don’t want to hassle him. Lol

Thanks

I'm not sure. The link doesn't mention Akida, but rather:

Microchip's PolarFire® SoC FPGA family delivers a combination of low power consumption, thermal efficiency, and defense-grade security for smart, connected systems. It is the first system-on-chip (SoC) FPGA with a deterministic, coherent RISC-V CPU cluster and a deterministic L2 memory subsystem for creating Linux® and real-time applications. PolarFire SoC FPGAs span from 25 K to 460 K logic elements (LEs) and feature 12.7 Gbps transceivers.

Beats me what Brainchip are saying here.
Is it an Akida1000 on a Microchip board that contains an Arm Cortex M0+ chip for configuration?
Is it an upgrade to our Rasberry Pi offering?
