Unfortunately, I don't have a packet of chewies at home, but hopefully the photo below puts it into perspective.

For those not familiar, the device on the left hand side of the photo is an M.2 form factor NVME SSD thats used for storage (in place of HDD's and standard SSD's) in PC's these days.
(The item above the PCIE board signifies the share price in the next couple of weeks )

Interesting that your PCIe card has an Engineering Sample on it..

Do you think that's normal practice @Diogenese?..

I guess the PCIe cards "are" for "mucking around"..

It's BIG

Could RTX possibly be the subcontractor involved in the AFRL contract from December announcement?

 

[entretec]

There's no pic on the website yet..

I think it's more for hobbyists, to play with, or build their own Edge Box (and maybe very small volume producers of boxes).

I'd say a larger manufacturer, would deal either directly with us or one of our providers (as in not this form factor).

Nvidia, wouldn't be adding things ad hoc, they'd partner with us or something..

But I'm just guessing really..

The hobbyist market, is potentially huge, if marketed correctly.

This is how it is connected to the mentioned Raspberry Pi 5. As you say the hobby market is enormous.

Possible but it seems strange that they are happy to mention RTX as partners now but weren't just a month ago

 

[Frangipani]

Why is everyone so surprised about the RTX (Raytheon) reveal?

I had already dot-joined them a month ago as the likely subcontractor of the AFRL announcement:

My guess is our company used the word “partner” here in a broader sense (as in partnering for a project).

 

[entretec]

Keeping my hopes up.

Could it also be a raspberry pi enclosure with the new M.2 Form Factor boards? According to the Day 2 LinkedIn post, they seem to be demonstrating the M.2 cards.

Just curious that the VVDN edge box on the table seems to be a static box with no cables attached. Also, you wouldnt need a power adaptor that large to run Akida

This is a Raspberry Pi 5 in a box with the M2 card. See attached. Note: the Raspberry Pi 5 is just a ready available vehicle, the smarts are in the M2 card.
Raspberry Pi 5 is now available with up to 16Gb memory - more than enough to run a very capable LLM on the Edge,

Yeah fair point. I’d rather they are a more direct partner than through the afrl award but should lead to bigger things either way.

Well, heres a company thats direct and excited.....

The official ASX announcement - NOT the BrainChip LinkedIn post at the time revealing the AFRL contract - mentioned BrainChip were “currently in negotiations to enter into a subcontractor agreement with the previously mentioned aerospace and defence company for the completion of the contract award”.

That’s the reason why they didn’t name RTX as the subcontractor in December already.

But we found out nevertheless due to an RTX employee’s LinkedIn comment…

So obviously negotiations are now over and it is confirmed as RTX.......massive massive news. Great stuff @Frangipani always appreciate your in-depth research with supporting evidence

Yep I missed that dot. Nice work.
An exciting big gun to be working with.

As well as hobbyists, Manny's comment about students (of all types) got me to thinking, that many of the University programs that we have going, might actually "require" students to purchase a M.2 card, for projects etc, as part of future course material requirements.

Add to that, because of the huge interest in neuromorphic computing in general, many schools and students, may start their own programs and courses as well.

Because of the relatively low entry cost, this really does have huge potential to bring in some cash and it's basically just a side gig..

Need to be able to supply them though and the 10-12 week wait for Edge Boxes, doesn't bode well for that..

 

[TheDrooben]

Some nice synergies here......maybe RTX will be a foot in the door with one of the big ones

Hi FuZ,

I do indeed also believe that is possible.

I was somewhat puzzled when our company first announced the following in September, as our Dev Kit had been based on a Raspberry Pi 4:

Raspberry Pi is currently developing the above mentioned AI Kit that “bundles the Raspberry Pi M.2 HAT+ with a Hailo AI acceleration module for use with Raspberry Pi 5 (…) The AI module is a 13 tera-operations per second (TOPS) neural network inference accelerator built around the Hailo-8L chip. The module uses the M.2 2242 form factor, and comes pre-installed in the M.2 HAT+, to which it connects through an M key edge connector. The M.2 HAT+ communicates between the AI module’s M.2 interface and the Raspberry Pi 5’s PCIe 2.0 interface.


Yesterday we found out that AKD1000 will be made available on an M.2 form factor, too.

I use to look a lot into nasa I’m positive they were using Loihi for this one

I remember seeing something about Loihi tests in Space and they weren't good..

Too cold and they wouldn't work..
Then they'd get too hot and turn off.

I think AKIDA, will turn out to be "just right"
