"This year promises unprecedented growth in intellectual products"
That statement alone from VVDN describes a fast growing market where we have a 1st mover advantage and a clearly superior product = increasing value of our patent portfolio.
We are in 'odd situation' where we do not have to sell a thing to be worth a 'mint' as long as the market keeps growing at exponential rates.
Did someone say taking candy from a baby. Tom and Jerry et al = kids with crayons = buying ops for grown ups.
As Sean said its hard for business to let go of traditional shackles. Once they do it will be a flood of sales.
I am still accumulating.

I wonder how old this statement is since 2024 is almost over. :unsure:

The Secret Behind Apple's New Silicon: The Next Big Move is coming​



So many different chips in an I-Phone.

Apple is buying companies all the time, she said, over 100 in the last few years, at 6:35.

Apple sells around 230 mill phones per year, and they aim to make as many of their own chips as possible.


BrainChip, is an A.I. Edge focused Company, so if we don't go into one of the most commonly used Edge devices, at some point, I'm going to be disappointed..

I'd really like that to be Apple, because they are such a standout innovative Company and it would be a perfect fit for us.
Whether it will be, remains to be seen..

This is an article, from 2019, focusing on Neuromorphic Computing in mobile phones, but with a focus on promoting Rain A.I. (who has since changed direction abruptly @Diogenese?).

BrainChip, also got a mention though (don't mention the casinos!).


"BrainChip Holdings out of California is listed on the Australian stock exchange and has neuromorphic chips that learn casino games like blackjack from video feeds already in use in Las Vegas casinos to spot cheaters"
(This was software anyway, we didn't have a chip at that stage).


I will be Happy, with any phone manufacturer, to tell the Truth and I think it's more likely, to be a former "Great" or an "Up and Comer" looking for a "leg up".

Yes. Rain AI started with a spaghetti bowl of "self-organizing" nano-wires which magically interconnected in an analog NN pattern. That was the product Sam Altman and others invested in.

Rain Ai are now strictly digital.

As they say "It's never Rain but it's poor."

According to estimates, global spending on edge computing is expected to exceed $200 billion in 2024, up 15.4% from the previous year. Embedded devices like microcontrollers don’t have the computing power of a data center, but with advances in AI algorithm efficiency and specialized hardware, it’s now possible to run models on these devices. New chips designed specifically for edge AI, such as neural processing units (NPUs) integrated into microcontrollers, are making it increasingly possible to implement models in embedded systems.

With cloud computing now so ubiquitous, and edge computing so well established, why, then, is endpoint computing becoming so important?

In a word: Latency.

If we're going to make true advancements toward meaningful artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) in smart homes, smart health and smart cities, lag and latency is unacceptable.

Efficient AI inference demands efficient endpoints that can infer, pre-process, and filter data in real time. Unlike computing in the cloud or at the edge of the cloud, the endpoint represents, as Renesas CEO Hidetoshi Shibata has said, "the true point of action." For example, a home appliance that can predict when it will need maintenance or a voice-interactive wearable that can warn a user of a possible heart anomaly is more useful if it applies ML algorithms at the endpoint with near-zero latency.

And it is precisely at the endpoint where Renesas microcontrollers (MCUs) shine. AI models, trained on industry-standard networks, are embedded on chip to offer design engineers the performance, bandwidth, and responsiveness to effectively realize and enhance emerging smart applications. Advanced endpoint-compiler software enables customers "to test capabilities purely in the cloud before porting them over to our boards, and then, finally, to implement these seamlessly on our chips," Mr. Shibata told McKinsey analysts recently.

"While also providing the flexibility to change the functionality or algorithms," he said, "Such dynamically configurable hardware architectures let customers enjoy the benefit of hardware-processing speeds."

Indeed, users of smart homes, smart health and smart cities applications cannot or will not wait even a few milliseconds for AI data to be processed. Consequently, the latency inherent in transferring data to the cloud threatens to undermine progress in those consumer-focused areas. This may sound obvious, but few competitive MCUs are designed to enable fast processing.

As ML inference moves to device endpoints, "this integrated AI will be the foundation that powers a complex combination of 'sense' technologies to create smart applications with more natural, 'human-like' communication and interaction," Dr. Sailesh Chittipeddi, president and CEO of Renesas Electronics America, recently wrote in Embedded Computing magazine.

"In addition," wrote Dr. Chittipeddi, "A convergence of advancements around AI accelerators, adaptive and predictive control, and hardware and software for voice and vision open up new user interface capabilities for a wide range of smart devices."

Let's take a look at what those might be in the smart home, health and city segments.

Smart Home Applications​

The intelligent home is in many ways a "sensor-rich" application. Smart homes will use sensors to collect and process all manner of data, from environmental information to user activity. With the guiding principle of providing "total convenience," these applications tend to use AI for predictive analytics and for customizing user interaction with the home environment.

For example, a refrigerator will learn over time to adjust its temperature settings. Or the TV will learn to change the audio output based on what's happening in the room at the time -- so voices and music are not deafened during parties or cooking. Voice interfaces can also be used to teach or train devices, as well as to provide information when an appliance is offline.

Smart Health Applications​

Smart health applications will be even more demanding when it comes to latency. A pacemaker that can predict when a battery needs to be changed could well save lives. An electrocardiogram (ECG) sensor that can warn a user of a heart anomaly in real time could save lives as well. ML algorithms embedded in an ECG sensor could detect disruptions in heartbeat or rhythm and sound the alarm immediately.

AI algorithms are also being used to predict when an insulin pump is likely to run out of a patient's specific dosage and to anticipate when a dose is needed. Otherwise, the pump might not deliver the right dosage at the right time, putting patients at risk.

Smart City Applications​

In a smart city, sensors can collect all manner of information -- from pollution levels to traffic delays -- that could be used to forecast traffic conditions and even determine air quality alerts.

Smart city applications will be equally demanding of low latency. A smart streetlamp that can detect traffic density and adjust its brightness accordingly to prevent traffic accidents could save lives. An AI and ML-infused surveillance camera that can detect alterations in traffic flow, which may mean an accident has occurred and can alert emergency services immediately could also save lives.

In scenarios like city traffic, drivers would benefit from AI alerts that warn of slowdowns ahead. Smart parking garages could use AI algorithms to monitor a car's status and accurately charge or discharge a vehicle depending on a user's preferred levels of privacy or security.

In terms of cities and traffic control, AI algorithms embedded in smart traffic lights could similarly be able to notify drivers, pedestrians and bikers of slowing or stopping traffic ahead. Once again, the information would be relayed in near-zero latency. Smart vehicle routing -- say, to avoid heavy congestion -- may be the most challenging application of all.

Flexibility is Key​

As ML algorithms come to dominate smart home, health and city applications, the speed at which data is processed will be more critical than ever. For companies like Renesas, that means delivering the most intelligent and flexible MCUs that optimize data processing speed while also providing the flexibility to change functionality or algorithms.

The same MCU that enables fast processing today may support a completely different algorithm tomorrow. That makes the MCU platform, which includes a flexible CPU, an ideal choice for enabling endpoint ML applications.

It remains to be seen whether and what role Brainchip Akida will play in Renesas' MCU in particular.
I believe that Tata plays a much more important role for Brainchip Akida than Renesas.

Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) is collaborating with Tata Electronics Pvt Ltd, as the conglomerate aims to introduce India’s first domestically produced chips by 2026, according to a senior executive from TCS, as reported by Mint.
The news report quoted Sreenivasa Chakravarti, vice-president and global head of TCS’s digital engineering division, as saying that TCS, which specialises in semiconductor design and engineering for its clients, has multiple points of engagement in the chip manufacturing process, where Tata Electronics is leading the charge.

He also highlighted other shared services, including software solutions and intellectual property (IP)-based products for semiconductors.


Three semiconductor facilities​

In February, the India Semiconductor Mission approved the establishment of three semiconductor manufacturing facilities to advance this sector. Tata Electronics is leading the development of two of these projects. One is an $11-billion greenfield chip manufacturing plant in collaboration with Taiwan's Powerchip Semiconductor (PSMC) in Dholera, Gujarat, which will have an initial output capacity of 50,000 wafers per month. The second is a $3.26-billion facility in Assam, focused on chip assembly and testing, the report said.
Tata Electronics aims to have the first chips from the Assam facility available by late 2025 or early 2026, targetting industries such as automotive, electronics, power, consumer goods, and healthcare.

Excellent input from you today Bravo, much food for thought, for my ever diminishing neuron's to digest, and fathom - IMHO..

Brainchip, will/must, surely be in the thick edge of all these developments, that are on the near-term horizons' for us all, to savour, and will be our saviour, eventually, we hope. Go TATA.

Ford made headlines recently when it took out a patent for in-car advertising that included the ability to eavesdrop on passengers and tailor content to their conversations.

Including the ability to “understand the user’s tolerance for a particular advertisement’s count”, or in other words, listen out for people saying things like “if I hear one more ad for this petrol company, I’ll buy 10 litres from their arch rival and use it to set this car on fire!”

This isn’t fiction.
