I would say yes to your question you are reading too much into this. Simple logic based on known facts.@ 9:15 she asks him about the use of neuromorphic chips in regards to event based vision systems. He states that he think SNN are a good fit, but then after that he said something strange considering our previous conversation with Prophesee on our podcast where they basically said that Brainchip is the key to their success (paraphrased)
He said: “but I’m not sure if the optimal processing architecture has been identified yet” Very strange thing to say when Luca Verre spoke so highly of Brainchip and Akida and the recent partnership etc. am I reading too much into this?
AKIDA is the only commercial SNN available as IP. AKIDA IP is so advanced it is science fiction. So if for example AKIDA was producing 96% accuracy with Prophesee's event based vision sensor it is a long way ahead of anything out there and yet is 4% short of 100% accuracy. This missing 4% allows for a statement regarding whether they have found the optimal solution without telling an untruth.
The other thing however is that if AKIDA is producing 96% today just like it was first producing 94% with NaNose this level of accuracy will increase over time. In Nanose it increased to on various reports 96% to 98% accuracy which was over a year ago now so who knows what has been achieved since then. So with incremental learning and fine tuning 96% today could be 98% tomorrow or 100%. At 100% there would be no room to suggest it was not optimal.
On the speculative side of the equation do not forget that both Prophesee and AKIDA are working with NASA and DARPA and some pretty secret research is being undertaken across these two bodies with respect to hypersonic missile tracking. If this old technophobe can work out that event based vision and AKIDA provide the avenue for finding and tracking hypersonic missiles highly intelligent techies working for foreign governments would have worked it out and so there would be a lot of pressure on both companies to be circumspect about what they say at this stage.
