Sorry, if mentioned before. I never read of this development here....

Quantization-Aware Neuromorphic Architecture for Efficient Skin Disease Classification on Resource-Constrained Devices

"Quantization-Aware Neuromorphic Architecture for Efficient Skin Disease Classification on Resource-Constrained Devices"​

IV-BExperimental Setup​

All model training, validation, and CNN-to-SNN conversion were conducted on a workstation with an Intel Core i9-12900K CPU, 128 GB RAM, and NVIDIA RTX 3090 GPU, running Ubuntu 22.04 LTS. The software environment included Python 3.9, CUDA 11.8, TensorFlow 2.10, and Akida MetaTF SDK v2.2.1. Neuromorphic inference was performed on a BrainChip Akida AKD1000 PCIe board installed in the same system, with deployment and testing managed via the Akida Python API and default board settings.

It's dated from 20 August 2025 so only a month old.
I generally am not a fan of this particular commercial mob whose primary concern seems to be making money from a pool of subscriber's, which is a fine and well worn business model.
That being the case I usually avoid their presentations as I don't enjoy the rabid advertising dressed up in the hokey, homey, down on the farm, good natured bloke speak.
However, on this occasion I thought they did a reasonable job.
Basically, they think we have promise of good potential but are a risky proposition when it comes to commercial uptake.
Given our long and closely watched growing history, I think that, at present, that is a fair assessment.

Just came across this podcast on Brainchip.
Apologies if already posted.



Cheers

Thanks for posting the Monthly Fool's podcast, very interesting.

They are quite negative and call it; almost a lottery ticket!

They further said; Akida might end up in a museum as something that was cool but not really needed.

At the movement, I can't really argue with them because they are a sort of right UNLESS Sean secures some significant orders before the next AGM!

All the partners means nothing unless some kind of deal(s) is signed but as I said before, I remain confident that Sean will secure orders worth minimum 9 mill $US before the AGM as he said he will!
Sean has matured the company IMO, they now have the road map and the developer hub online, and it looks like a serious company now, not some kind of hobbyist outfit. These things are very important to big players, they don't like to deal with amateurs.

There is a reason (I believe) that they have been swapping sales guys out, the previous ones didn't secure any significant sales!
A sales guy's job is obviously selling whatever they are hired to sell, if no cigar within a certain time frame; goodbye!!
The new guy James Shields is said to have an aggressive (ex military) approach, maybe he was the person behind joining DigiKey?
His job in the army was as a flight test engineer, supporting both US and NASA missions. He surely got connections in the right places from that experience!

What world are we living in.
The blind leading the blind.

On one hand, governments push hard for renewable energy targets, but on the other hand, they’re approving more data centres that consume enormous amounts of electricity and water. Data centres are essential for cloud services, AI, streaming, and finance, but their footprint is massive — often drawing on the same grids we’re being told to decarbonise.

#snn #neuromorphic | Low Kelvin

Unboxing the future of embedded AI with the Akida AKD1000 SNN chip – true neuromorphic hardware that supports event-based SNN architecture with 1.2m neurons over 80 neural cores, capable of on-chip incremental learning (for the last layer) on the edge. Very glad to have received this as a gift...

Motley have a vested interest in being negative about Brainchip. There has always been a lot of retail interest in BRN and Motley want you to buy their recommendations rather than BRN.

Yes, they take us for fools, LOL.

MF: Our take is that sticker X is a buy rating, but we have 10 stocks we think are better, please download the free report here!

It's almost a scam, they have about 300 people worldwide in that outfit, people not smart enough making it to Wall Street or similar can go to MF.

They will never see a penny from me.
