The very laypersons understanding is that the Zoo contains ready to use models that you can download to do a specific task like reading an X-ray without having to build your own. They give developers a head start on adapting AKIDA to the task they are looking to perform.

Now it’s time for @Diogenese to speak with authority.

Well, in my authoritative opinion, I guess the "zoo" started out with those little plastic animals ...

This is a must see video IMO!!!!! Edge AI is a YUUUUUUGE FOCUS!!

Look at the list of Qualcomm customers and "massive ecosystem which have selected Snapdragon Digital Chassis for the platform on top of which they're developing".

I spy with my little eye Valeo!

PS: I did some overtime. I worked 4.27 minutes into the second shift.

ok im into 3rd overtime and CAN ANYONE WORK OUT WHY THE SPEAKER STUMBLES JUST AFTER 1.10.40 when he says High perfornance compute ON THE EDGE, ON LOW POWER...but at 1.10.46 he gulps and goes uhhh and mumbles something and moves on quickly... what did he mumble? 😀😀

Ok @Bravo i will have a look at that 2hr qualcomm video later, i somewhat got sidetracked with Shikino high tech, the company that bought an unknowm stake in Magik-eye. Seems Shikino is quite involved with Socionext and Panasonic with the HD-PLC. And it appears that Megachips is very much involved in the HD-PLC Alliance.
Soooo If Leica Cameras are involved with Panasonic and Panasonic is involved with HD-PLC and Shikino is involved with Magikeye and Megachips is involved with the above and BRAINCHIP is involved with the above, Can you imagine the accuracy of camera leica rifles, Leica cameras identifying objects that you point it at telescopes, binoculars, etc etc
I rest my case 😀
Is that dot-joining or a string of rosary beads?

I sometimes wonder about the lack of importance given to the ARM Partnership by retail shareholders.

In the controversial German article posted by @Sirod69 it states:

“Most recently, BrainChip shone by being accepted into global semiconductor giant ARM's AI Partner Program”

I am sure most here will recall as I do that MF and others questioned the importance or even the fact that it was actually real relying upon the FACT that it was a press release and not an ASX announcement.

These people and those on investment social media sites were further assisted in presenting this argument because ARM had not upgraded its website at the time of the press release.

We of course all here know that ARM has updated its website and promotes Brainchip as its partner across almost all of its use case categories.

We also know that ARM’s highest profile engineering design partners Edge Impulse has also partnered with Brainchip and that this partnership was also a press release not an ASX announcement.

What I found interesting with this press release was that MF and its band of brothers across social media basically ignored the Edge Impulse partnership.

I suspect that tactically this was done because they made the call that as the press release contained a quote from Edge Impulse suggesting it was not real it just would not fly and also Edge Impulse was and most likely is completely unknown amongst generalist retail investors.

So the best way to destroy the value of this press release to Brainchip investors was to suck all the air out of it by simply ignoring its existence.

What also stands out is that since the initial ARM attacks MF and cohorts have ignored anything Brainchip and ARM related because drawing attention to them would only increase Brainchip’s exposure to retail investors.

So coming back to the Brainchip ARM partnership from May, 2022 only four months ago this is what was said in the press release:

BrainChip Holdings Ltd (ASX: BRN, OTCQX: BRCHF, ADR: BCHPY), the world’s first commercial producer of ultra-low power neuromorphic AI IP, announced today it has been accepted into the Arm® AI Partner Program, an ecosystem of hardware and software specialists enabling developers to deliver the next generation of AI solutions.

Arm’s extensive AI ecosystem simplifies AI deployment by providing best-in-class tools, algorithms, and applications to customers worldwide. The Arm AI partner program creates and nurtures strategic alliances that empower its ecosystem to drive innovation, provides technical support and resources, and helps partners reach developers and decision-makers within their target markets.

“To support the wealth of opportunities that AI can provide, from automation of industrial devices to improved user experience for consumers, developers need access to intelligence at the edge,” said Mohamed Awad, vice president of IoT and Embedded at Arm. “As part of the Arm AI Partner Program, BrainChip will further enable developers to meet the need for high-performance and ultra-low power edge AI inference, unlocking new opportunities for innovation.”

In joining the program, BrainChip in turn builds out its own ecosystem for the Akida™ silicon-proven IP, while assuring compatibility of BrainChip’s IP with Arm’s product families. Akida provides cost-effective, high-performance, power-efficient AI processing for edge AI devices – even those in locations where there is limited or no connectivity.


“It’s valuable for BrainChip to be part of Arm’s portfolio of partners as Arm is not only a leading provider of AI technologies, but an industry influencer,” said Jerome Nadel, BrainChip CMO. “Arm offers us another channel to give end users access to Akida, the world’s first commercial neuromorphic AI accelerator, and to foster the development of best-in-class AI products and applications.”

I doubt that any one here has not taken the time to Google ARM and read about Brainchip through ARM’s eyes but if there is then it is absolutely essential to do so as ARM is a GLOBAL SEMICONDUCTOR GIANT and unlike some retail investors actually does in depth research into the companies and their technologies when they ask to enter its partnership program.

ARM has the people to deep dive into technology and it’s compatibility and value to ARM. ARM does not do this lightly as they have a global reputation to protect. They clearly only choose partners who will add value to the ARM Brand.

Personally I was excited by the press release because unlike some I was fully aware of ARM semiconductors global significance.

Why was this old technophobe aware well I take notice of global events as they might impact my investments whether they be oil, drug discoveries or revolutionary Ai IP.

What I knew about ARM was that it is such a significant player in the global semiconductor space that the USA, China, and the UK all opposed Nvidia taking it over.

Additionally giants of the technology world Google, Apple, Intel and Samsung all lobbied against Nvidia being allowed to take it over because of how deeply they were/are imbedded with ARM.

So as I said from day one I was excited by this development and in fact each time I open the Brainchip website and see ARM listed as a partner I get a little tingle in the hairs on the back of my neck which through advancing years have migrated down and across my aging frame.

In my mind this partnership clearly doubled the commercial value of Brainchip when combined with the Edge Impulse partnership and its 50,000 strong developer network.

Now I know what some of you are thinking that since January, 2022 we have had Mercedes Benz, SiFive, Prophesee, ISL, Intellisense, MosChip, Eastronics, ASU, Carnegie Mellon University, NVISO, SalesLink etc; surface and we have had disclosed in the Half Yearly that MegaChips has sold at least an additional 2 million dollars in AKIDA IP licences to unnamed customers* and this is all true but in my opinion ARM/Edge Impulse is the jewel in the Brainchip crown.

But of course this is just my opinion and others think nothing is happening and Brainchip has failed to meet retail shareholder expectations so DYOR
FF

AKIDA BALLISTA

* I have qualified the 2 million dollar amount as there is an argument to be made out as @DingoBorat did earlier this year that MegaChips had paid in 2021 about 1 million dollars of the projected 2 million dollars in licence fees in total by end of 2022 so if this is the case the additional licences sold could amount to around 3 million dollars.

With 94% of the sell orders listed on Friday at 3:59 pm , removed sometime prior to 7:30 pm , makes me very suspicious .

However , I will let others come up with their own theories as to why an extremely high percentage of sell orders were removed , because if I told you that I think it’s market manipulation being conducted by unscrupulous identities , you will all think that I have become an absolute “ fruit loop “ .

Stumbled across this on LinkedIn. Nothing we don’t know but obviously (and frustratingly), he and many others like him still have no knowledge of what is transpiring behind the scenes

#wakeupandsmelltheakida


#AutonomousDriving development seems stuck in the slow lane. A complete new design is needed, conceived from the ground up with an innovative approach.

Before the industry expected Level 3 automation vehicles to be on the road by the end of the last decade, and Level 4 vehicles would be on the road by 2022. Yes, this year. Just for reference, Tesla vehicles are still a Level 2.

There are seven main requirements standing out to meet the architectural requirements to achieve L4/L5 autonomous driving. They are:
* Massive compute power, efficiently delivered
* Very low latency
* Minimal energy consumption
* Combination of artificial intelligence/machine learning and digital signal processing (DSP) capabilities
* Deterministic processing
* Reprogrammability
* Affordable pricing

There should be some juicy nuggets in this Qualcomm video from their Investor Day presentation yesterday! It's very long though, nearly two hours in total. Perhaps we should take it in shifts? I'll do the first 30 mins. 🧐




Long video but fantastic, very engaging all the way through.

42.24mins - CEO Mercedes does a short talk, stating they work with Qualcomm on the Mercedes’ digital cockpit.

43.03mins - Starting 2023 Qualcomm will power Mercedes cockpit. Something we have been working on with Merecedes for the last 3 years.

58.31mins we have to be able to support continuous learning, the ability to be able to get feedback from the vehicle

You could skip watching from 1hr 18mins to 1hr 30mins as that it is the CFO talking about Qualcomm finances.

Then at 1hr 30mins is Q&A time (Where Qualcomm CEO says they deal directly with OEMs)

The latest announcements are focused on the software defined vehicle area. Mercedes-Benz will be adopting Qualcomm Snapdragon cockpit chips to power next-generation infotainment and connectivity systems. This marks a shift away from Nvidia which Mercedes has used in its current MBUX system. The first Mercedes vehicles with Qualcomm digital cockpit will launch in 2023.



if Mercedes is moving away from Nvidia and MBUX and moving to Qualcomm cockpit chip (which Mercedes and Qualcomm have been working together on for 3 years), what do you think this means for BrainChip?
we know BrainChip and Mercedes had been working together for 18 months prior to the January announcement (However that was on the MBUX). Thoughts? I’m confused. On Linkedin there are still many posts by Mercedes talking about MBUX.
Am I reading it wrong - “This marks a shift away from Nvidia which Mercedes has used in its current MBUX system” - does it just mean they are not going to be using Nvidia? But maybe using the Qualcomm chip in the MBUX?

Hi @SharesForBrekky,

I'm intrigued. Exactly whose opinion did you think @Townyj was expressing? I thought it was blatantly obvious.
Hey Proga, these statements may be obvious to yourself and mine, but not necessarily to everyone.

Statements that are made as well aren't necessarily just someone's opinion. Who knows how and reasons behind why these statements are made.

I don't want to go into too much detail behind what I'm saying here because everyone is entitled to say whatever here and I'm not here to talk on behalf of everyone.

Brainchip does appear first on the list of ARM's ecosystem partners for many many categories my favorite ones being "ADAS" & "Autonomous Vehicles".

It's a shame that they couldn't make a price sensitive market announcement (both ARM & SiFive) given the significance...

Bravo

If ARM was an arm, BRN would be its biceps💪!
There should be some juicy nuggets in this Qualcomm video from their Investor Day presentation yesterday! It's very long though, nearly two hours in total. Perhaps we should take it in shifts? I'll do the first 30 mins. 🧐




OK, I just finished the 3rd video-watching shift and now I'm owed double overtime otherwise known as double-bubble.

Maybe someone else can check what I am saying here in case I'm reading too much into things. If you start watching at 1:02:200 the dude from Qualcomm whose name escapes me (sorry), says that the neural network IP blocks are highly scalable because they have to support every possible performance requirement. He also says that they have 4 dedicated AI accelerators and he says a little later that these accelerators are what allows them to reach Level 3-4.

Now the other fascinating things is that that he begins to talk about the the collaboration between BMW and Qualcomm in developing Snapdragon Ride. Qualcomm and BMW jointly own the IP and it sounds like after the launch in 2025, Qualcomm will then fully own the IP (have I got this right?) and they will be able to scale it up to other OEM's.

Check out the slide from the video which shows logo's from all the sensor providers. Yes, I highlighted Valeo to make it a little easier for everyone.

Then when the guy from BMW came on it occurred to me that the “Neue Klasse” platform is actually the Snapdragon Ride platform, or visa-versa, if that makes sense. And then I started going crossed-eyed because I was trying to work out what the heck was going on. And then I remembered the Valeo, Qualcomm, BMW collaboration on the “Neue Klasse” platform (see below). And I got really excited becase all of the peices of the jigsaw were falling into place.

But then the whistle blew telling me it was "smoko" and I had to down tools and join everyone else in the canteen.
