I had yesterday evening time to watch the whole presentation. But guys, this looks so fake… I can’t believe people believe actually, that this robot is not controlled by someone.

SoftBank to buy arm-based AI chipmaker for $6.5bn​

Softbank has expanded its AI portfolio with a $6.5 billion deal to buy Ampere Computing, a Silicon Valley startup developing Arm-based sustainable AI chips.​

SoftBank believes Ampere’s chips will play an integral role in the future of AI, an area currently dominated by Nvidia’s graphics processing units (GPUs).
The technology, licensed from Arm Holdings which SoftBank acquired in 2016, is the same that powers nearly all smartphones globally.

Masayoshi Son, SoftBank’s chair and CEO said: "The future of AI requires breakthrough computing power. Ampere’s expertise in semiconductors and high-performance computing will help accelerate this vision and deepen our commitment to AI innovation in the US."
Ampere’s chips are designed to handle both general-purpose computing and AI tasks, which include critical workloads such as machine learning, natural language processing, and deep learning.
Companies are vying to build the next-generation chips to power growing AI training and inference workloads SoftBank’s acquisition of Ampere will allow the company to integrate Ampere’s expertise into its existing ARM ecosystem, which could help the firm meet the growing demand for AI-driven computing power.
Earlier this year SoftBank unveiled the $500 billion Stargate project that aims to build state-of-the-art AI infrastructure for OpenAI over the next four years.
The initiative launched with an immediate investment of $100 billion. At the time of launch SoftBank stated it will create hundreds of thousands of jobs in the US, spurring economic growth and offering long-term benefits to the global economy.
At the time of the launch Son said: “The Stargate Project is not just an investment in AI but in the future of American industry and global security.”
“This initiative will drive innovation and economic prosperity, positioning the U.S. at the forefront of AI technology development.”
The partnership structure of the project includes SoftBank, OpenAI, Oracle, and MGX as the initial equity funders. SoftBank and OpenAI will serve as the lead partners, with SoftBank taking financial responsibility and OpenAI handling operational oversight. Masayoshi Son will serve as the chairman of the project, guiding its development and execution.
Among the project's key technology partners are some of the biggest names in the industry, including Arm, Microsoft, NVIDIA, Oracle, and OpenAI. These companies will collaborate closely to build and operate the advanced computing systems required to support the ambitious goals of Stargate. The collaboration builds on a longstanding relationship between OpenAI and NVIDIA, which began in 2016, and a more recent partnership between OpenAI and Oracle.

Not impressed because it’s not my company

Not impressed because it’s not my company

My interpretation is that this acquisition will help support Arm's ambitions to develop it's own custom chips, which might in turn provide more of an incentive for Arm to integrate BrainChip's Akida neuromorphic processor to deliver advanced AI capabilities at the edge.

In the past, we’ve made a lot of speculations about possible connections between our partners and the big players… While I do find it interesting in general, after so many misinterpretations, I’m no longer convinced that this is of any help to us, especially since Arm doesn’t have only BrainChip in its portfolio. I don’t even pay attention to such news anymore. Only when something official comes from BrainChip or when other companies mention BrainChip directly. Otherwise, it only leads to disappointment. And eventually to the dolci syndrome.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m still positive and keep buying more. However, these kinds of reports are not decisive for me. It’s like when you were a kid, and someone promised to buy you something or take you to a certain amusement park the next day, just to keep you calm. At some point, you get old enough to realize it was just empty words… The biggest letdown of all: Santa Claus.

Don’t be sad @Deadpool … An unexpected top news can push us forward much faster than 1001 speculations. And I’m more convinced that out of nowhere, something will be announced that we never even imagined!

 

[7für7]

"I don’t even pay attention to such news anymore."

Just ignore and scroll down to next one.

Just because I don’t chew on every bone that’s thrown my way doesn’t mean I don’t like the meat that surrounds it.

I find Bravo’s posts interesting, but I don’t immediately connect everything to BrainChip. So maybe slow down a bit before posting unnecessary comments.

Its not that.
It was the Santa comment, don't you dare tell me, he's not real.

Updated Switch 2 Patent Suddenly Confirms Nintendo's AI Plans

An updated patent spoils Nintendo plans for using AI on the Switch 2, but it's also a potential warning to downscale our expectations.

So Is share market for faint hearted or those looking to retire soon, pay mortgages out. I know some of you have been investing for a very long time. What i have been noticing not just about BRN other shares i am holding every time good news announced the prices goes down and down again and again. SO is ASK market for day trader and shorter/ manipulators. Or is it I dont know nothing about share investing and how to play it. I have lost more money then i made out of it.
Thanks
