BRN Discussion Ongoing

[TopCat]

This news is a few weeks old now but I think its relevance could be quite important for us in regards to growth and new markets. The funding from Prosperity7 , a subsidiary of Saudi Aramco - the worlds largest oil producer, shows just how revolutionary this new technology from Prophesee is…and Brainchip makes it better!

Prophesee closes €50M C Series round with new investment from Prosperity7 to drive commercialization of revolutionary neuromorphic vision technology; Becomes EU's most well-funded fabless semiconductor startup

Prophesee, the inventor of the world's most advanced neuromorphic vision systems, today announced the completion of its Series C round of funding with the addition of a new investment from Prosperity7 ventures. The round now totals €50m, including backing from initial Series C investors...

Prosperity7 Ventures, the diversified growth global fund of Aramco Ventures - a subsidiary of Saudi Aramco, is on constant search for transformative technologies and innovative business models. Its mission is to invest in the disruptive technologies with the potential to create next-generation technology leaders and bring prosperity on a vast scale. It currently has $1B under management and holds diversified investments across various sectors, including in deep tech and bio-science companies.

Prophesee is leading the development of a very unique solution that has the potential to revolutionize and transform the way motion is captured and processed." noted Aysar Tayeb, the Executive Managing Director at Prosperity7.

Aysar further emphasized "Prophesee and its unique team hit the criteria we are constantly searching for in startup companies with truly disruptive, life-changing technologies."

The round builds further momentum for Prophesee in accelerating the development and commercialization of its next generation hardware and software products, as well as position it to address new and emerging market opportunities and further scale the company. The support from its investors strengthens its ability to develop business opportunities across key ecosystems in semiconductors, industrial, robotics, IoT and mobile devices.

I'm pretty sure she does ..

I've watched several times, she certainly speaks French but I didn't see any big reveal. Suppose I should watch it a few times more to be sure.

I just received a genuine email from Motley Fool asking the question "How can we improve?" I thought about responding to the survey but then thought if I need to tell them that the two things they need to do are not lie and to actually do proper research by at least reading the Annual Reports and 4C's of companies then there is probably no point. I even thought about telling them not to corruptly manipulate the market or engage in shorting activities but the first one is probably something that occurs out of habit and the second one is legal trading activity so I just deleted the email.

The second one came to my mind with the re-posted Tesla video and the child dummy. To be fair, I should mention again that a Tesla fan asked me to research the producer. It was not his first attack. He himself is an investor and the thought is that he may also be a shorter. They work with all means. Shorten is an epidemic. My opinion. I am not familiar with the regulations, but I have been wondering for a long time what can be done against shortening as an investment strategy and I don't mean the ~0.1% that are used to detect fraud. My naive thought is that if someone lends their shares to a shorter they forfeit their ability to receive dividends and possibility to vote at the AGM because they no longer own/hold (how absurd => own when given away) them for a year. So he has to consider whether he wants to make some money on the lending fees or the dividends. But not both. But I don't know if that's nonsense or could be done regulatory. Just a thought.

Prodigy on the Leading-Edge of AI Industry Trends
Prodigy includes a powerful AI subsystem that is driving industry performance and features to enable processing of cutting-edge models with an ever-increasing number of parameters.
Recently, pre-trained transformer-based language models such as BERT and GPT, have shown great improvement in many natural language processing tasks. However, these models contain a large number of parameters. The emergence of even larger and more accurate models such as GPT3 and Megatron, suggest a trend toward large pre-trained transformer models.
Prodigy addresses continuing trends in AI models, the explosion in complexity as demanded by more complex NLP models, and more accurate conversational AI by providing matrix multiplication instructions using low precision data types as well as providing sparse matrix multiplication instructions for compressed deep learning models.
Quantization is an effective technique for reducing the memory footprint and the training and inference time of Neural Networks. The idea behind quantization is to reduce the numerical precision of both the weights and the operations in the network.
Our 8-bit floating point number (FP8) has a (sign, exponent, mantissa) format of (1, 5, 2) bits- where the format is chosen carefully to represent weights, activations, errors, and gradients. 16- bit floating point number (FP16) has a (1, 6, 9) format and is used for GEMM accumulations. Both FP8 and FP16 formats are selected after in-depth studies of the data distributions in networks, in particular the gradient statistics of ResNet18, ResNet101 and SqueezeNet in Cifar100 and ImageNet datasets, focusing on balancing the representation accuracy and dynamic range.

Just waiting and hoping they are working feverishly in the background getting ready for full Nasdaq Listing!!! Surprise us in 12 months time with listing complete and then comes the splits to 100x Plus the MC. Vlad

Let's hope they are focusing on selling millions of dollars worth of IP, not worrying about listing on the NASDAQ.

I'm pretty sure she does ..

It's a classic...haha

Network edge is very different to akidas meaning of edge from my understanding. Network edge at a very high level is companies that provide a premium version of the internet by placing their own infrastructure at locations closer to the end user, these locations may be at telcos. They basically provide a premium version of the internet without all the delays that the standard version of the internet has to deal with. I know about this topic very well so if you have questions I can go deeper. Now the different is huge between the premium and standard internet, fyi I’m not talking about adsl vs nbn here

 

[Izzzzzzzzzzy]

Also for everyone here, edge is very different when it comes to AI and Akida when compared to network edge. However, akida edge can leverage the networks edge to be even better

NASDAQ looking a very nice colour. Hoping for more of the same from BRN tomorrow

Let's hope they are focusing on selling millions of dollars worth of IP, not worrying about listing on the NASDAQ.

When I look at statistics about startup listings on NASDAQ with little turnover I think of patience rather than jumping into the grinder. But I know that there are not many who see it that way. Most of them see only dollars at NASDAQ full of expectation. But that the road is very rocky and the statistics speak against an immediate success there is often overlooked.
Recently I have been following the listing of Electra Battery Materials. They went to NASDAQ to generate cash and I'm glad I got out beforehand with the anticipation. Maybe I'll buy them again sometime later.

I like the driver identification and driver authentication side of this technology.

As well as supplying input to all the personalised adjustments—seat, steering wheel, and mirror positions to name a few, then also air conditioning setting, music choice, driver assist preferences etc.

This potentially could do away with auto theft and car-jacking. I.e. if the car doesn‘t recognise you, then you can‘t use it!

I don‘t see a use for my car telling me what emotions it thinks I am expressing. I don‘t even like it checking my attention, which should become less important anyway once automation levels mature to useful levels.
