Is AKIDA the AI SONY is using in their NEW camera and other items offered in this new demo
first offered in this thread by @Baisyet
Below is an article depicting our partner Edge impulse offering support and processes for companies like Sony to get AKIDA in their products
https://www.prnewswire.com/news-rel...rainchip-akida-neuromorphic-ip-301598472.html
Edge Impulse are not going alone in this type of activity, Prophesee are directly dealing with Sony to offer support for application implementation.

We cant forget the last podcast in which the CEO of Prophesee raved about Akida and the opportunity the Prophesee and BRN partnership offers.
IMO these links cannot be made any more clear.
No announcement from SONY, BRN or their partners.
Just Brainchip execs aiming for 100 staff by EOY offering support to global companies to apply the AKIDA IP in their products because it is going to be the global standard for AI.
Brainchip is on the right track to commercialisation on a scale we will not be able to fathom for years to come.
NDAs and EAPs are causing a viod in information to excite the market but they are hiding the work being actioned behind the scenes.
Mercedes is one example as FF just discovered using his logic.

How many of these examples are current waiting for the right time to reveal themselves in full.
Just as Edge Impulse did today as outlined by BaconLover and FF in earlier posts
"some months ago a poster asked Edge Impulse whether they were using AKIDA in FOMO and it was denied."
Today we have this being openly advertised
View attachment 21132
These NDAs are a pain in the arse for a company’s share price but for customer relations they are invaluable.
Right now I’m happy to accept the silence to allow the likes of SONY to mass produce products with our IP.
Once in the market, having first to market advantage and a product that is far superior to any other available the royalties for BRN will be exponential.
The CEO hasn’t lied yet, so I will sit back and allow these comments directly from him to be executed.

Hi @DiogeneseReading the stats I don’t believe it is the AKIDA version for three reasons:
1. The performance improvement is not great enough at only 50% power saving over Jetson. Needs to be 50 to 150 times more power efficient.
2. The ARM processor is an A55 and the Renesas article claimed it was an A33 they intending combining with AKIDA if I am remembering correctly.
3. AKIDA would not under most circumstances need the assistance of a CPU to do the processing.

AKIDA BALLISTA
Are you referring to Blu Wireless Technologies?Does anyone remember that weird bluetooth product with akida in it? It was white and small I forgot what it was now
Sorry to take so long responding @SERA2g, I've had a busy week.I’m not sure if anyone has responded to this yet but thought I would given you have over 40 likes.
Im an accountant for what that’s worth before you read on.
You can’t use “creative accountancy” in a quarterly.
The quarterly report is a cash flow report. It’s cash movements only.
It does not show revenue at all.
Excluding continuous disclosures obligations for a moment (simply because I’m not sure if this example would require an announcement), We could invoice a customer $5 million on the 30th of September and if the cash wasn’t received it would not show in the quarterly.
“Creative accountancy” isn’t easy when it comes to asx listed companies.
Their obligation from a compliance perspective is to prepare general purpose financial statements which have specific requirements from an accounting standards perspective. These standards determine how all sorts parameters within the financial statements are recognised, including but not limited to revenue, expenses, assets, liabilities and equity.
The entire purpose of having these standards is to ensure that third parties whom rely on the financial statements (banks, investors, shareholders) can in fact rely on those financial statements when making financial decisions.
I appreciate your want for improvement but suggesting the accountant move his pen in another direction is not the answer.
Cheers
That's interesting. The last paragraph states "Mr Schäfer said the introduction of stricter ‘Euro 7’ emissions laws in Europe will also see Mercedes-Benz significantly reduce the number of engines on offer across its line-up this decade."It will be followed by a global engine that we will develop 100 percent ourselves and industrialise together with Geely,” he said."In order to play at the absolute top in future topics such as infotainment, in autonomous driving, in artificial intelligence or in the topic of chips, we have to concentrate. The future certainly doesn't lie in ten different powertrains."
2023 Mercedes-Benz E-Class the last model developed for petrol and diesel engines only – report
Due in 2023, the new-generation Mercedes-Benz E-Class will be the last model to be based on a platform built for traditional engines only – and not electric power – according to a German report.

The 2023 Mercedes E-Class will reportedly be the final vehicle from the German luxury car giant based on a platform solely designed to accommodate petrol and diesel engines – and not offer the option of electric power.
In an interview with industry publication Automobilwoche, Mercedes-Benz development chief Markus Schäfer said the forthcoming E-Class is the last model developed purely for internal-combustion (petrol and diesel) engines – and not electric power.
"As things stand today, the E-Class and its derivatives will be the last Mercedes-Benz model to be created on a pure internal combustion engine platform," Mr Schäfer said in the translated interview.
It's therefore suggested all future models after the new E-Class will sit on platforms designed for electric and petrol, diesel or hybrid propulsion – before Mercedes-Benz discontinues petrol and diesel engines in certain countries from 2030.
While Mercedes-Benz has not announced a date to stop offering petrol and diesel models entirely, as a general rule, passenger vehicle platforms from the company typically work on a life cycle of approximately seven or eight years, taking the new E-Class to the end of the decade.
The current C-Class and S-Class are based on the same underpinnings as the next-generation E-Class, but are expected to be replaced with new models before 2030.

Mercedes-Benz detailed its transition to an all-electric future in July 2021, “where market conditions allow”.
It’s thought the caveat was added to allow sales of petrol and diesel models to continue in regions where emissions regulations lag – such as Australia.
Mr Schäfer said the introduction of stricter ‘Euro 7’ emissions laws in Europe will also see Mercedes-Benz significantly reduce the number of engines on offer across its line-up this decade.
"It will be followed by a global engine that we will develop 100 percent ourselves and industrialise together with Geely,” he said.

Hi @Diogenese
I did not find the sheet you did. In it it references 2 x A55 ARM processors but chucks in an A33 ARM processor.
Does this up the AKIDA chances???

Might have been it, I only roughly remember the pictureAre you referring to Blu Wireless Technologies?
Thanks, you are welcome, and that particular podcast is already included.Hi @Falling Knife
This is a very significant generously shared post.
Given it should be bookmarked by many can I make the suggestion that you edit it by adding a link to the podcast with Prophesee CEO Luca Verre because having listened to what he states about AKIDA I am prepared to say that Sony could not logically avoid using AKIDA.
