BRN Discussion Ongoing

[Fact Finder]

Hi FF , so is this for Akida 2.0 or is it possibly a third chip??

In 2023 the company will tape out another chip and release significant enhancements to our IP offering”, said BrainChip CEO Sean Hehir. Mr. Hehir went on to say “Additionally, we will further expand our go-to-market capabilities by hiring sales personnel in key international markets, as well as increase our domestic sales and marketing headcount.”

You need to go back to the AGM presentation and comments made during the AGM by Sean Hehir and Peter van der Made and I have no doubt when you do the only chip they could possibly be producing is the AKIDA2000, AKD2000, AKIDA 2.0 which are all one in the same chip but as this shows a final ‘what will it be called’ has not been decided.

I am confident that the failure to settle on a final name is to allow AKIDA 1.0/ AKIDA TM clean air in the market place until they reach the point of a public launch of this next generation more advanced version.

If AKIDA 1.0 is Science Fiction this next generation will be Science Fiction on steroids.

WHAT IS ACCENTURE?​

Accenture is a global professional services company that provides business and technology strategy and consulting and operational services. Accenture’s capabilities span from artificial intelligence (AI) and automation to supply chain management and digital commerce.

Accenture: A brief history​

Accenture has prioritized innovation from the start. Accenture’s modern history began with Joseph Glickauf of Administrative Services when he invented the Glickiac computer in 1951. This invention pushed the company toward other milestones like the development of the operating system used for System/360 IBM computers.
Over the next few decades, Administrative Services became the Management Information Consulting Division in 1980 and then Andersen Consulting in 1988. In 2001, Andersen Consulting became Accenture which means “accent on the future.”
Accenture’s success and focus on the future led the company through several acquisitions, joint ventures, and the development of industry-leading campaigns. The company brought in $250 million in revenue in 1980, and from there, it grew to $50.5 billion in 2021 revenue.

WHAT DOES ACCENTURE DO AS A COMPANY?​

Accenture operates within three distinct service areas: strategy and consulting, technology, and operations. The company’s goal is to provide 360-degree value to its clients by helping them embrace change and reinvent their businesses.
Accenture works with customers from a variety of industrial backgrounds. For healthcare, Accenture works to implement digital health strategies to improve the patient experience. For software developers, Accenture builds the infrastructure that acts as a foundation for any platform. These are just two of the many solutions Accenture delivers to its customers.
Beyond the services the company provides, Accenture is also known as a thought leader in both business and technology spaces. The company consistently publishes in-depth research reports, white papers, and case studies regarding changes throughout key industries.
As a company that prioritizes knowledge sharing, Accenture developed Accenture Foresight, an app used to access research reports and insights from anywhere.

OK, I know this is not in direct competition with Brianchip and it's slightly off topic, as it's a software model, but what about Lambda:


It's giving some outstanding answers that I would say beats the intelligence of the majority of the worlds population, seems way more abstract than ChatGPT. Of course it's pieces of conversations put together, but still it's some amazing responses.

The responses in the YouTube video, also checks out with what the fired developer says himself:

The field of AI is moving damned fast and it start's to feel a bit like, what's the point?

If we develop something that is smarter than ourselves, then what are we?

One thing that I'm certain about is that we need to be investors in this, else we might not have an income in the future.

 

[Diogenese]

We were initially expecting Akida 2 to include LSTM, and this would have required the inclusion of additional memory in the NPUs.

Then more recently we were alerted to transformers, which are alleged to be able to understand natural language. To do this, they will need sufficient memory to capture the context of speech, requiring a much larger memory. This means that each die (SoC) will have a significantly larger silicon footprint on the silicon wafer.

We were told that the electrical circuit design of Akida 2 with LSTM had been sent to Anil's group quite some time ago, before transformers raised their head(s). So it is possible that the extended period between the finalization of LSTM and this announcement was the result of the later addition of transformer functionality (and concomitant additional memory and associated logic).

So I'm if, as a result of the larger footprint, wondering if Akida 2 will be produced in a smaller format, eg, 7 nm, which, as the table shows, as of 2023, is quite a mature technology, so mature that a conservative company like Renesas has chosen it for its Akida MCU?

After all 7 nm has been with us for over 4 years ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/7_nm_process#:~:text=The first mainstream 7 nm mobile processor intended,was released at Apple's September 2018 event. ).

There were sound reasons for choosing 28 nm for Akida 1, and I'm surmising that the immaturity of smaller scales was among the foremost. However Renesas' choice of 7 nm suggests that the tech is now well accepted.

Of course there are a number of intermediate technologies which Anil may choose, but I doubt he will go smaller than 7 nm.

They appear rather bullish on neuromorphic computing at the edge.

One could assume that it would be a sentiment they are currently be sharing with all their prestigious customers.

When I read this info contained in the article this jumped out. Do we know that Accenture are partners Mercedes. “with Neuromorphic technologies make efficient onboard AI possible. In a recent collaboration with an automotive client, we demonstrated that spiking neural networks running on a neuromorphic processor can recognize simple voice commands up to 0.2 seconds faster than a commonly used embedded GPU accelerator, while using up to a thousand times less power. This brings truly intelligent, low latency interactions into play, at the edge, even within the power-limited constraints of a parked vehicle.

I've seen interviews with Mike Davies where he states Loihi 2 was the first chip Intel produced on their new Intel 4 (7nm) process (pre production). Interesting choice given that Loihi is a research chip that is years away from commercialization (another statement from Mike)

Not if you have followed everything that has been said by Peter van der Made, Ken Scarince and Sean Hehir since 2021 it can only be the AKD2000 etc.

Spending the money to produce the reference chip for AKD1500 makes no economic sense.

Do you ever do any research before making assertions.

The LDA Capital agreement prohibits the use of Brainchip’s shares for shorting.

If you have evidence they have been shorting in contravention of the agreement then take it to Brainchip so they can claim damages for breach.
