Good morning,
I did try to get some new information on the Akida 2000 development from Peter, I did ask Anil if he was happy with the progress that was being made, I did mention that I was going to email Simon Thorpe, which I did last night and have received a nice reply overnight, which I'll share these few points.
Yes, Simon is still convinced that Spiking Neural Networks are the future !
Yes, Simon still holds a small number of shares in Brainchip.
"I’ve got a few collaborations going that are exploring using off the shelf hardware (Mac M1 or M2 chips, or Nvidia chips) for doing what I call Terabrain simulations - billions of neurons and trillions of connections. The key is have have ultra sparse activity and ultra sparse connectivity using exclusively 1 bit connections. Very fast, very cheap, and very low power."
"It’s coming on nicely, and I hope to have stuff to publish before long. And I’m working on the book that I promised Oxford University Press 40 years ago (!) - "The Intelligent Neuron."
"The ideas could certainly be used in custom hardware (ASICs etc)"
I'm a communicator, I pride myself on it, will are all blessed with this, it's born in us, but sadly, many people go through life without using
this gift to it's fullest, or only speaking with a cut tongue....the company has always been a little up and down in the communications
department, but at least I try for everyone's benefit, we are a family, aren't we ?
Love Brainchip...............Tech x
