Now that's poetryI like the way you think Smoothie! Hehehe!
If I ever become rich and famous, I’ll need some friends to come sailing with me around the Bahamas and you’ll be the first on my list of invitees.
We can look out from the yacht’s jacuzzi and wave at Mr and Mrs Bezos as they float past us in their inferior vessel. And then we can pretend we can’t hear what they‘re saying while they desperately try to discover where we bought our humungous yet totally groovy glasses from.

The answer is I personally believe Brainchip has already gained real traction in at least the following markets.
1. Aerospace and Defence
2. Drones (civilian)
3. Medical
4. Industrial
5. Cyber security
6. Transportation
7. RISC-V Ai extension
and yet we still hang around at what I consider to be well below true value based on the lowest of two analyst reports commencing at $AU1.20 and terminating at $AU1.97.

I doubt the neuromorphic team at Intel Labs will be affected much, if at all…
The appointment of Sachin Katti as Intel’s CTO, AI Officer and Head of Intel Labs suggests otherwise.
CEO reorganizes Intel with new CTO and AI lead
Tan gains tighter control over strategic developments.
“Lip-Bu Tan, the newly appointed chief executive of Intel has launched a major leadership overhaul aimed at streamlining decision-making at the company, according to Reuters. With the new changes, Sachin Katti will become the chief technology office officer of Intel and will lead the company's AI effort. Also, the new management structure will get flatter and technical leaders from key groups will get direct lines with the CEO.
"Sachin Katti is expanding his role to include chief technology and AI officer for Intel," a spokesperson for Intel confirmed to Tom's Hardware. "As part of this, he will lead our overall AI strategy and AI product roadmap, as well as Intel Labs and our relationship with the startup and developer ecosystems."
New CTO
Up until now, Sachin Katti was in charge for Intel's networking and edge computing business unit and prior to that he was CTO of that unit. However, with the new expansion of his role, he will become chief technology officer of the whole company and the head of Intel Labs, therefore responsible for all the fundamental and applied research at Intel, which includes fundamental research for Intel's process technologies.The appointment of a dedicated AI chief is perhaps a long overdue job as Intel's AI strategy so far has not exactly been a success. Perhaps the problem is that AI was a part of Intel's data center unit and was considered as somewhat of a second-class citizen and therefore competed both for resources and management attention. With a dedicated lead, this could change, but keep in mind that Sachin Katti will not be solely dedicated to AI as he will be Intel's CTO as well as in charge of the edge and networking business.
(…) That said, Katti will not be the first Intel CTO with additional responsibilities. However, Katti's CTO and AI responsibilities are both strategically important for the company's future and the fusion of the roles may be a strategic move by Lip-Bu Tan (…)”
Here are two press releases from MWC Barcelona 2024, when Sachin Katti was in charge of Intel’s Network and Edge Group. At that event, Ericsson demoed a radio receiver algorithm prototype targeting Loihi 2.

Also, Intel recently hired Jean-Didier Allegrucci:
“Allegrucci has been named VP of AI System on Chip (SoC) Engineering. He will be responsible for managing the development of multiple SoCs that will be part of Intel’s AI roadmap. He joins from Rain AI, an innovative startup where he led AI silicon engineering. Prior to joining Rain, he spent 17 years at Apple where he oversaw the development of more than 30 SoCs used across many of the company’s flagship products.”

How to Solve the Size, Weight, Power and Cooling Challenge in Radar & Radio Frequency Modulation Classification
By Aras Pirbadian and Amir NaderiJune 27, 2025
Modern radar and Radio Frequency (RF) signal processing systems—especially those deployed on platforms like drones, CubeSats, and portable systems—are increasingly limited by strict Size, Weight, Power and Cooling (SWaP-Cool) constraints. These environments demand real-time performance and efficient computation, yet many conventional algorithms are too resource-intensive to operate within such tight margins. As the need for intelligent signal interpretation at the edge grows, it becomes essential to identify processing methods that balance accuracy within these constraints.
One such essential task in radar and RF applications is Automatic Modulation Classification (AMC). AMC enables systems to autonomously recognize the modulation type of incoming signals without prior coordination, a function crucial for dynamic spectrum access, electronic warfare, and cognitive radar systems. However, many existing AI-based AMC models, such as deep CNNs or hybrid ensembles, are computationally heavy and ill-suited for low- SWaP-Cool deployment, creating a pressing gap between performance needs and implementation feasibility.
In this post, we’ll show how BrainChip’s Temporal Event-Based Neural Network (TENN), a state space model, overcomes this challenge. You’ll learn why conventional models fall short in AMC tasks—and how TENN enables efficient, accurate, low-latency classification, even in noisy RF environments.
Why Traditional AMC Models Fall Short at the Edge
AMC is essential for identifying unknown or hostile signals, enabling cognitive electronic warfare, and managing spectrum access. But systems like UAVs, edge sensors, and small satellites can’t afford large models that eat power and memory.Unfortunately, traditional deep learning architectures used for AMC come with real drawbacks:
- Hundreds of millions of Multiply Accumulate (MAC) operations resulting in high power consumption and large parameter counts demanding large memory
- Heavy preprocessing requirements (e.g., Fast Fourier Transform (FFTs), spectrograms)
- Still fail to maintain accuracy under 0 dB Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR), where signal and noise have similar power.
BrainChip’s TENN Model: A Low-SWaP-Cool Breakthrough for Real-Time RF Signal Processing
BrainChip’s TENN model provides a game-changing alternative. It replaces traditional CNNs with structured state-space layers and is specifically optimized for low SWaP-Cool high-performance RF signal processing. State‑Space Models (SSMs) propagate a compact hidden state forward in time, so they need only constant‑size memory at every step. Modern SSM layers often recast this recurrent update as a convolution of the input with a small set of basis kernels produced by recurrence. Inference‑time efficiency therefore matches that of classic RNNs, but SSMs enjoy a major edge during training: like Transformers, they expose parallelizable convolutional structure, eliminating the strict step‑by‑step back‑propagation bottleneck that slows RNN training. The result is a sequence model that is memory‑frugal in deployment yet markedly faster to train than traditional RNNs, while still capturing long‑range dependencies without the quadratic cost of attention of Transformers.TENN introduces the following innovations:
- A compact state-space modeling that simplifies modulation classification by reducing memory usage and computation—offering a leaner alternative to transformer-based models.
- Tensor contraction optimization, applying efficient strategies to minimize memory footprint, computation and maximize throughput.
- Hybrid SSM architecture that replaces CNN layers and avoids attention mechanisms, maintaining feature richness with lower computational cost.
- Real-time, low-latency inference by eliminating the need for FFTs or buffering at inference time
Matching Accuracy with a Fraction of the Compute
The Convolutional Long Short-Term Deep Neural Network (CLDNN), introduced by O’Shea et al. (2018), was selected as the benchmark model for comparison with BrainChip’s TENN. Although the original RadioML paper did not use the CLDNN acronym, it proposed a hybrid architecture combining convolutional layers with LSTM and fully connected layers—an architecture that has since become widely referred to as CLDNN in the AMC literature.This model was chosen as a reference because it comes from the foundational paper that introduced the RadioML dataset—making it a widely accepted standard for evaluation. As a hybrid of convolutional and LSTM layers, CLDNN offers a meaningful performance baseline by capturing both spectral and temporal features of the input signals in the In-phase (I) and Quadrature (Q) (I/Q) components, which are used to represent complex signals in communication systems.
While more recent models like the Mixture-of-Experts AMC (MoE-AMC) have achieved state-of-the-art accuracy on the RadioML 2018.01A dataset, they rely on complex ensemble strategies involving multiple specialized networks, making them unsuitable for low-SWaP-Cool deployments due to their high computational and memory demands. In contrast, TENN matches or exceeds the accuracy of CLDNN, while operating at a fraction of the resource cost—delivering real-time, low-latency AMC performance with under 4 million MACs and no reliance on using multi-model ensembles or hand-crafted features like spectral pre-processing.
With just ~3.7 million MACs and 276K parameters, TENN is over 100x more efficient than CLDNN, while matching or exceeding its accuracy—even in low-SNR regimes. Moreover, the latency in the table refers to the simulated latency on a A30 GPU for both models.
On the RadioML 2018.01A dataset (24 modulations, –20 to +30 dB), TENN consistently outperforms CLDNN especially in mid to higher SNR scenarios. Here is the performance of TENN compared to CLDNN's over the SNR range of -20 to +30 dB:
Ready to bring low SWaP-Cool AI to your RF platforms?
Today’s RF systems need fast, accurate signal classification that fits into small power and compute envelopes. CLDNN and similar models are simply too resource intensive. With TENN, BrainChip offers a smarter, more scalable approach—one that’s purpose-built for edge intelligence.By leveraging efficient state-space modeling, TENN delivers:
- Dramatically reduces latency, power consumption, and cooling requirements
- Robust accuracy across noisy environments
- Seamless deployment on real-time, mobile RF platforms
Schedule a demo with our team to benchmark your modulation use cases on BrainChip’s event-driven AI platform and explore how TENN can be tailored to your RF edge deployment.
