Awesome work, thanks

Hi Guys,
I have just uploaded the video on YT
Youtube link of the video below
Enjoy
My key points from this presentation which repeat some of those already made by others however it is a must watch:NBN is down in my suburb. Will say more later. Rob Telson is excited about what AKIDA can do in ARVR.
I am excited because MegaChips is a licensee. MegaChips largest customer is Nintendo. Nintendo needs AKIDA ARVR in my opinion.
Rob Telson is excited specifically about this and in fact this was the most excited he seemed to be in the whole presentation.
My opinion only & speculation DYOR

AKIDA BALLISTA
Brilliant explanation. If that does not blow off a few socks even fancy ones the reader is brain dead or employed by MF or AFR which is the same thing anyway. LOLThe graph shows the total amount of power to process 10000 word database (see first slide).
The IPS is the number of words processed per second.
ARM would take 280 times as long as the Akida 300 Mhz version to process 10000 words.
Akida 300 MHz would use a bit over twice the power (99/41 milliWatts) used by ARM.
Akida 5 Mz version is 3 times faster than ARM and would use about 1/40 times the power used by ARM to process the 10000 words.

You know the story about the glass being half full and half empty.The video is great. But what frustrates me is what Rob said around 57 minutes onwards, the question being along the lines of who are you doing things with besides Mercedes? Rob responded with it is a highly competitive environment and most companies don't want to talk about their partners because they want some differentiation from their competitors. There will be more but we have non disclosure agreements and most of them are very serious that there should be no communication about their products.
All that is well and good but the market needs more hints otherwise we continue lo languish around these levels. FF I like how you picked up the BMW logo. Maybe we continue to sleuth and take the hints as being close to facts. But we need more instos on board, or at least their buying power.
YOU KNOW ALREADY WHAT I AM GOING TO ASK. LOL. Can you do the maths for Coral and Jetson please? We all love you. FFThanks JK,
I've watched this now.
Just to add that at from 42 minutes on Todd is discussing how an IP licensee can determine the number of NPUs they require, and he referred to scaling to 5 nm or 12 nm, which I optimistically interpret to mean that we have IP licensees for these 2 architectures.
He also discussed the way the power consumption varies with clock speed, which reminded me that I had forgotten to mention that, in the graph above, you could basically draw a straight line from the Akida 300 MHz result to the 5 MHz result showing that the power consumption is proportional to the clock speed and the clock speed is a controllable parameter which the user can select. The user can select any clock speed up to 300 MHz to optimize the power consumption for the intended application.
So maybe at about 160 MHz or so Akida would use about the same amount of power as ARM and process the 10000 words more than 100 times faster than ARM. In other words, Akida is more than 100 times more efficient at processing the word database than ARM.
Don't ask me to do the maths for Coral or Jetson.

Don't be sad. I feel bad now because you answered the question I had which was could you draw the straight line and compare both AKIDA and ARM at the same point. I am sure being 100 times more efficient than the most efficient commercial alternative from ARM will satisfy most. Some will not even care that you have not done the Jetson and Coral comparisons. Even my disappointment will pass. FF.Thanks JK,

Great Summary, thank you FF.My key points from this presentation which repeat some of those already made by others however it is a must watch:
Brainchip Headcount: Currently 71 and will be over 100 by years end - actively growing the business.
Brainchip Patents: Current 21 patents either granted or filed.
Brainchip in cabin demonstration: When this video was first released there was debate in another place about how many AKD1000's would be used to provide the demonstration. Well now we know. It is one AKD1000 doing all three functions being Facial Recognition at 22.6mw's, Keyword Spotting at 600uw's and Visual Wake at 6mw's.
Brainchip AKIDA accuracy: Once converted to 4 bit AKIDA is returning the same accuracy as the others running at 32 bit, 16 bit & 8 bit.
Brainchip Meta TF: In 2021 Brainchip Meta TF welcomed over 5,000 new users - there was debate over in another place about whether this statistic was new users or not. Well now we know. No wonder the small band at Brainchip spoke of explosive sales and insatiable demand.
Brainchip high speed recognition: May mean nothing but the Formula Racing Car has BMW printed large on its rear foil.
Brainchip & Mega Chips: As above but noting that to my knowledge the visual of the person using ARVR and holding a hand controller has not previously appeared in earlier presentations. Someone who is into gaming may be able to identify the hand controller.
Brainchip doing vibration & sound for defect detection: Rob and Tod were both excited by AKIDA processing both sound and vibration on chip and they revealed for the first time that I am aware the room fan demonstration.
Brainchip doing beer tasting: Slade would have been worried by this and would be imagining a world where machines take over drinking his beer, but for me it was the definitive statement by Rob and Tod that AKIDA can detect any chemical compound regardless of whether it is presented as a liquid or a gas. This opens up the full range of domestic, industrial, automotive, aerospace and defence applications where air quality or chemical infiltration is a potential issue. In motor vehicles AKIDA could be monitoring carbon monoxide infiltration in the passenger cabin. In passenger jets it has been hypothesised that MH370 may have been due to a gas escape into the air filtration system causing unconsciousness. Not to mention chemical warfare. In the home particularly in the UK and EU gas detectors as well as smoke detectors are legislated. If the detectors were made smart and could say what the chemical involved was this would reduce the hazard faced by emergency personnel and allow for the correct medical treatment at first instance. As a by the way one of the things I was taught as a first responder to a gas poisoning was not to do mouth to mouth as you would potentially put yourself at risk. Knowing what the gas inhaled was is critical.
My opinion only DYOR

Hi FF,You know the story about the glass being half full and half empty.
I read your comment and rather than being frustrated I know that Mercedes is still insisting that Brainchip keep to the NDA yet we know they are a customer/partner.
So I go to the statement there will be more but we have non disclosure agreements and most of them are very serious that there should be no communication about their products and I say to myself if this AKIDA technology was just any old incremental technology improvement like Hailo and others are producing and pretending to the world is the best thing since the atom was split why would these partners be fussed? Hailo gets to announce everyone that walks in the door why not Brainchip?
These partners of course would not be fussed if Brainchip's AKIDA was just an incremental improvement on existing technology.
But they are and that is because AKIDA technology is such a revolution, such a leap, such an advantage that they are all trying to fly under the radar until they are racing to the bank on the back of sales that their competitors just cannot match or catch up with even if they then give Brainchip a call.
Look at Mercedes. They have gone from relative obscurity where Electric Vehicle technology is concerned to outstripping by hundreds of kilometres the official ruler of the EV world Tesla.
Now think about that lead and extrapolate it across all of the other industries and partners that "are very serious that there should be no communication about their products" and what leads they will have when they hit the market with AKIDA on board.
Your frustration is my excitement. My confidence is over flowing. 5,000 new users in 2021 of Meta TF. The original 8 week delay on shipping AKIDA technology products no longer in play. A 3 year lead and widening.

Never heard this before "about half our engagements are with OEM's & the other half are with the semiconductor IP customers"
Enjoy
As our fellow Youtubers say, "Whatssuuupppp guys!".....
Here's another video I've uploaded to the AKIDA BALLISTA Youtube Channel. I'm sure most of you have seen it before - its the Sean Hehir video from the other week.....
As always, if you've enjoyed the video, make sure you subscribe and hit the like button! (LOL)
But more importantly a big thank you to @TechGirl for recording the videos and making this possible (& if that tip button is still around, be sure to tip her!).
From the expression on their faces, they were thinking you have no idea about how much we are being hammered by the companies on NDA's.The video is great. But what frustrates me is what Rob said around 57 minutes onwards, the question being along the lines of who are you doing things with besides Mercedes? Rob responded with it is a highly competitive environment and most companies don't want to talk about their partners because they want some differentiation from their competitors.

Great summary and was a great webinar, the number of questions at the end spoke volumes. The only answer that gave me pause was the one about Lohi 2, would have liked a more technical response..My key points from this presentation which repeat some of those already made by others however it is a must watch:
