Hi FJ,

I have no inside information, just rumors picked up here mainly and BRN webpage, ...

My understanding is that it can be run separately from Akida, but it is better with Akida. Maybe chiplets or software simulation?

Yes, it would be relatively easy to build on FPGA, and since Akida is processor agnostic, I assume any old CPU/GPU would do for the software simulation.

Cheers,
I had wondered why TENNs hadn't just been demo'ed on AKD 1000, instead they seem to have been shown as individual ingredients to make up Akida 2.0 .

Anyway, Intel seem to be aiming Loihi 2 at data centres and our man Tony Lewis did mention that TENNs could be scaled up to working at data centre scale..

Did I mention my parents were big band/ jazz fans...... Glen, Benny, Louis this, Cab that......

Heard this song a million times on scatchey 78s before I could put a face to the name when the Blues Brothers movie came out.

Actually.........that seems to be a very PC version...........

God I hate this cleansed reality........

This is what i remember.......probably makes my parents......well.....bad parents. Wouldn't swap them for anyone. (except billionaires, obviously!)

[CHIPS]

Why is it that when using google search for “Akida” and I restrict the search for the last 24 hours only, the third site listed is www.qualcomm.com/products/mobile/snapdragon/smartphones/mobile-ai

Maybe Qualcomm or their web designer used AKIDA as one of the keywords in their SEO-Programming??

This is the compute platform for the future of AI.

Introducing Arm Compute Subsystems (CSS) for Client.

Designed for AI smartphones and AI PCs, CSS for Client delivers production ready physical implementations of our new CPUs and GPUs to deliver next-gen AI experiences quickly and easily.

It includes:
Our latest Armv9.2 CPU cluster, including the Arm Cortex-X925 which delivers the highest year-on-year performance uplift in the history of Cortex-X

The Arm Immortalis-G925 GPU, our most performant and efficient GPU to date with a 37% uplift in graphics performance

We are also launching new KleidiAI software to provide the simplest way for developers to get the best performance out of Arm CPUs.

So whether you want more AI, more performance or more advanced silicon, you can rely on our new solution to provide the foundation for AI-powered experiences on consumer devices. https://okt.to/PkzCt3

Has anyone noticed that if you rearrange the letters (KleidiAI), you get ‘Akida’ …. almost It’s a sign!!

I've been off line for a while. Just got out of hospital after major kidney surgery. The pain has been quite staggering to be honest.
Anyway, for a bit of therapy, I thought I'd take a quick look here, and it really has helped. The pain of the operation has paled into insignificance and is now a distant memory.

Had no idea, that he actually co-wrote that song, as performed in the all time classic musical film The Blues Brothers.

I generally hate musicals with a passion!
But the Blues Brothers, is a rare exception.

Cheers for the history lesson

Good evening...here we go again, yet another patent only published 7 days ago from our mates at:

ACCENTURE GLOBAL SOLUTIONS LTD

Check it out, a research chip is mentioned but a commercially available chip or IP is available NOW...that's why the
continuous learning of gesture recognition and AKIDA IS MENTIONED YET AGAIN.

Some recent updates in April.

Couple interesting ones I thought.

Update Akida and CNN2SNN to version 2.7.2​

New features​

- [akida] Full support of standard and depthwise transposed convolution in V2 hardware
- [akida] Initial support of Stem in V2 hardware (not all used cased covered for now)
- [akida] Introduced VitEncoderBlock layer: it corresponds to the groups of layers that will be mapped to an hardware block
- [akida] Limited multi-sequence mapping on V2
- [akida] Engine fully supports 8-bits outputs for Akida 2.0 (with/without activation)
- [akida] Added a workaround to avoid race condition when NPs try to reach AeDMA
- [akida] Added support for stride 2 1x1 Conv2D (pointwise) layers for ResNet50
- [akida] Added support for 7x7, stride 2 with max pooling (pool_size=3, pool_stride=2) InputConv2D layer for ResNet50
- [akida] Added an 'activation' parameter to Add layer for ResNet50
- [akida] Improved NP count in 'Model.summary()' for 2.0 components
- [akida] Improved layers docstrings
- [cnn2snn] A set of layers that are compatible with a VitEncoderBlock will now be converted to the block instead of independent layers

Update Akida models to 1.5.0​

New features​

- Aligned with CNN2SNN 2.7.2
- Reworked the detection tools: dataset management now based on TensorFlow datasets, others tools updated accordingly, COCO dataset added
- Updated AkidaNet YOLO/VOC model: now trained on COCO and transferred on the whole 20 VOC classes
- Introduced AudioViT/Urbansound model, leveraging ViT backbone for audio classification
- Added a 'summary' CLI to akida_models that handles Keras, ONNX and Akida models
- Rebased DVSSamsung model architecture to its DVSGesture sibling for hardware efficiency
- Pruned DS-CNN/KWS model from unnecessary reshape

Documentation update​

• Performances: added AudioViT, updated dectection and audio sections
• Updated "Advanced ONNX model quantization" removing parts for patterns that are now supported

Speaking of gesture. There was a mention of new features in the latest update I just posted

There are currently three job openings listed on the BrainChip website:

Default Placeholder Jobs

While we don’t know whether these are additional jobs created due to high demand from current resp. prospective customers or replacements for employees having left / about to leave our company, these job descriptions are nevertheless intriguing, as they offer a glimpse at things to come.

I merely skimmed them, underlining some parts I found particularly informative, but as a technical layperson, I may have missed some crucial new info that would be quite obvious to others here.

I like the way BrainChip and Akida are being described here:

“Come join the company leading the technical revolution in artificial intelligence. BrainChip is a global technology company producing a groundbreaking neuromorphic processor that brings artificial intelligence to the edge in a way that is beyond the capabilities of other products.”


Self-driving cars! Obviously no surprise as such, as we all know that those will benefit from neuromorphic technology, but wasn’t the more general term “automotive” used until now?

We hadn’t really heard about agricultural equipment in a while, had we?

Real-time operating systems (ROTS) - makes sense because of the ultra-low latency required for those, but I can’t recall having stumbled across the term before.

Mention of the next version of the Akida NSoC and LLMs!!!

What is meant by “the Akida 1.0/2.0 hardware device”?

team experience required for this player-coach position.
This job description sounds to me as if they are looking for an almost superhuman chief cook and bottle washer?!

Also interesting that applicants should preferably have a B.Sc. in Computer Science or Electrical Engineering; however, experience in lieu of education will be considered!

I had already noticed in last month’s job offer for a new HR manager (replacing Sheila Sabanal-Lau) that our company recently implemented cost saving measures by limiting the legendary free lunch to 2-3 times a week!
