Howdy Esq.
Agree. In my view however, everyone should read and consider the implications as if their votes, when counted, swung the result, and act accordingly.
Personally, I don't want the disruption of a spill at this time.
As for the rest, am willing to wait and see what/ if anything is revealed between now and the AGM.
As a long term holder here, with, what for me is a significant stake, I am ever hopeful of the result we all desire and which maybe announced anytime. There are no guarantees as such, but I think we are all well and truly due.
Further, it is not in either mine nor the Companies interest in throwing spanners.
If and when I have had enough, I will merely await an opportune time to sell and then move on.
This is merely my personal view and not meant as advice in any way, shape or form.

I’ve certainly voted yes to everything, except the spill (item 9). I believe a second strike and spill would be an absolute disaster for the company and the momentum going on behind the scenes. Potential customers might think again and our credibility would be tarnished. It certainly wouldn’t help those complaining about how slowly things are going - quite the opposite I would think. My 5 cents worth anyway…

Hi Hop ,
Agree with what you have said.
Early voting can give the board a feel from the investors perspective , and hence withdraw or amend the points to be voted on before the AGM , if they so choose.
Additionally shareholders can amend their early vote , online , if something should happen prior to the AGM .
Everyone has different time horizons , and i feel for those that have been waiting , years , with baited breath .

Esq.

Wow, thanks Esq for that info.
Having only ever voted in person at the meetings I had no idea that shareholders could amend an early vote online.
Interesting........I wonder if our BOD avails themselves of this info?
As for time horizons, mine have definitely been uncomfortably stretched, but, with a bit more time in the market now and experiencing the rough and tumble of it all, would have to admit to them being naively short, initially.
I had the experience of early success which has perhaps coloured my expectational viewpoint unrealistically.
I have often had to learn "the hard way".
Thanks Diogenes, your input is of great value to me and many others.Hi SS,
Looks like Tianjic uses analog NN for audio. It also uses CNN (MAC-based) for video and something else for control.

A hybrid and scalable brain-inspired robotic platform - Scientific Reports
Recent years have witnessed tremendous progress of intelligent robots brought about by mimicking human intelligence. However, current robots are still far from being able to handle multiple tasks in a dynamic environment as efficiently as humans. To cope with complexity and variability, further...www.nature.com

For each module, we opened independent data paths, which were distinct in information representation, frequency and throughput. In the visual module, each frame of video was resized to a 70 × 70 gray image and fed into a CNN as multi-bit values, enabling rich environmental spatial information to be maintained with limited computing resources (Fig. 3a). In contrast, the raw audio stream was transformed into binary spike trains in the auditory module. After end-point detection32,33, the key frequency features were obtained by taking the Mel Frequency Cepstral Coefficient (MFCC)34. A Gaussian population35 was used to encode each MFCC feature into spike trains as input to a three-layer fully-connected SNN (Fig. 3b). For motion control, sequential signals were first generated by functional cores to merge with the steering commands from other modules as the comprehensive target angle. Data from all sensors were then integrated via the MLP network for angle control (Fig. 3d). The designs and training of each network-based module are described in the Methods.
Tianjic uses different technologies to handle visual and audio. Akida can handle both.
They use 1-bit analog for audio which is very efficient but not so hot on accuracy. Akida can do 1-bit up to 8-bit inputs (256 values).
View attachment 61363
Tianjic needs a separate FPGA for pre-processing input signals. Akida has built-in preprocessing.
So, competition? - Yes.
Worried? - No,
I saw the movie several times but I guess I didn’t catch it Because it was synchronised in German language.It's all good friend.
I appreciate the cross pollination that happens here when different cultures, skill sets compulsions and languages mix and blend.

Good morning Dingo....
Sometimes it's hard to see past the forest because of all those trees !
Robot Ken is simply telling us that he's in France, most likely, Toulouse, where our brilliant software team has been working really
hard on his software makeup, as we all know the fastest process is the hardware phase, whereas the software is the much slower,
time consuming phase, the hint is, whom are we working in with in the robotics world.
But as usual, that's just my view...
Oh true, I forgot. Toulouse where Airbus is situated.

@Diogenese,
This recent patents from Syntiant using co neuromorphic processor, is it anything of interest here?
Abstract
Provided herein is an integrated circuit including, in some embodiments, a special-purpose host processor, a neuromorphic co-processor, and a communications interface between the host processor and the co-processor configured to transmit information therebetween. The special-purpose host processor can be operable as a stand-alone processor. The neuromorphic co-processor may include an artificial neural network. The co-processor is configured to enhance special-purpose processing of the host processor through an artificial neural network. In such embodiments, the host processor is a pattern identifier processor configured to transmit one or more detected patterns to the co-processor over a communications interface. The co-processor is configured to transmit the recognized patterns to the host processor.
And the new release NDP250.
www.linkedin.com
Moving Vision AI from the Cloud to the Device
The NDP250 has advanced image capabilities and is ideal for ultra-low power video applications for automotive security, battery-powered cameras and video doorbells. Running powerful always-on image recognition at under 30mW has several advantages, including:
A significant reduction in power consumption by processing data locally on devices, thereby extending battery life and enabling efficient resource utilization.
Lower latency since data doesn't need to travel back and forth to a remote server, resulting in faster response times crucial for real-time applications and greatly increases customer satisfaction.
Enhanced privacy by processing sensitive data locally, minimizing the need to transmit information over networks where it could be vulnerable to breaches or interception.
A notable reduction in cloud costs, sometimes as high as 90%, since less data needs to be transferred and processed in the cloud, leading to lower infrastructure expenses for businesses deploying edge AI solutions.
Equipped with an Arm Cortex M0 processor and a HiFi 3 DSP to support feature extraction and signal processing for image and voice enhancements, the NDP250’s integrated power management unit allows single power rail operation, where the integrated phase-locked Loop (PLL) provides further system cost and size optimization.
With the ability to process multiple heterogenous networks concurrently, the NDP250 also supports convolution neural networks including 1D, 2D and depth-wise, fully connected networks, and recurrent neural networks including LSTM (long short-term memory) and GRU (gated recurrent unit).
Other key features include:
Syntiant Core 3 neural network
Supports more than 6M neural parameters (in 8-bit mode)
Hardware acceleration over 30 GOPS
Dual 11-wire direct image interface
Dual PDM digital microphone interface
I2S serial interface with PCM
Quad-SPI and dual-I2C controller and target for multi-modal sensor fusion
Up to 120MHz internal operating frequency
Low power PLL for flexible clock input
Software Development Kit
Training Development Kit
120-ball 6.1mm x 5.1mm eWLB package (0.5mm pitch)
The NDP250 is sampling now.
Syntiant will be demonstrating the NDP250 and various hardware-agnostic deep learning vison models at Embedded World 2024 (Hall 2 - Booth 2-338), April 9-11 in Nuremberg, Germany. Contact info@syntiant.com to arrange a meeting or demo at Embedded World.

Geoffrey Hinton on how GenAI ate the world:
0051] Referring now to FIG. 2 , a schematic illustrating an analog multiplier array 200 is provided in accordance with some embodiments. Such an analog multiplier array can be based on a digital NOR flash array in that a core of the analog multiplier array can be similar to a core of the digital NOR flash array or the same as a core of the digital NOR flash array. That said, at least select and read-out circuitry of the analog multiplier array are different than a digital NOR array. For example, output current is routed as an analog signal to a next layer rather than over bit lines going to a sense-amp/comparator to be converted to a bit. Word-line analogs are driven by analog input signals rather than a digital address decoder. Furthermore, the analog multiplier array 200 can be used in neuromorphic ICs such as the neuromorphic IC 102. For example, a neural network can be disposed in the analog multiplier array 200 in a memory sector of a neuromorphic IC.
