The Company report will be Price sensitive!! possibly tomorrow?I don't think many of us are in the mood to hope that with you Buddy, but good luck anyways.
Oh the vibe is so much better in here now!!!!
As you know ‘Hey Mercedes’ is only a wake up command to get Akida to do its thing. ‘Just talk’ and the use of ‘and’ is much more advance speech identification and IMO makes it more likely that Akida is involved. Anyway, here’s hoping.The Mercedes-Benz E-Class is getting a giant touchscreen, TikTok, and a selfie camera
MBUX gets a major upgrade.www.theverge.com
There is a camera on board that tracks the drivers eye movements to ensure they aren't watching the passenger video screen. There is potential use of Akida here.
Bad news is that hey Mercedes seems to have been dropped in some capacity. Not clear if it has been scrapped altogether or only for certain commands.
"Hey Mercedes" will be used in the new E-class:

More operating convenience is also available with MBUX. With the "Just Talk" function, the intelligent voice control can now be activated without the keyword "Hey Mercedes". When the function is activated, a red microphone symbol appears in the display. This indicates that the vehicle is ready and waiting for commands.
Added day-to-day convenience: the routines
Mercedes-Benz is working on using artificial intelligence (AI) so that the car learns which comfort systems vehicle occupants use repeatedly. Given the same circumstances, the aim is for AI to automate such functions9. The result is personalised automation. Mercedes-Benz uses the term “routine” for this innovation, the development of which is already well advanced.
On the launch of the new E-Class, customers will be able to use templates for standard routines. They also have the option of creating routines themselves. In doing so, the occupants can link several functions and conditions. For example, "Switch on the seat heating and set the ambient lighting to warm orange if the interior temperature is below twelve degrees Celsius".
This is a great idea. Is that a way to run IP addresses to identify multiple accounts ?
Yeah, I understand though that reference was made in terms of how the operating system functions to save power. Of course Akida tech saves power using spikes - we all know that, but what intrigued me was this description was about the OS doing the same. At least that was how I took it?Hi jtardif,
The reference to queuing spikes describes the operation of an Akida NPU.
In NN neurons, the synapse fires when it accumulates enough incoming spikes to cross the synaptic threshold, which is determined by the corresponding weights from the model library.
This is a diagram of Akida's NPU:
WO2020092691A1 AN IMPROVED SPIKING NEURAL NETWORK
View attachment 30373
Input spikes are delivered to AND gate 109 via the spike decoder, spike buffer, packetizer, and packet register.
Counter 109 adds incoming spikes (binary digital "1"s from AND gate 107 and subtracts spikes from AND gate 108.
AND gate 107 produces a spike when the incoming spike matches a spike from weight register 106 in the same location, while AND gate 108 spikes when there is a mismatch.
When the sum in counter 109 matches one of the value stored in threshold comparator 110 (learning threshold or spike threshold) the corresponding registers 111 or 112 produce a spike. The learning threshold is lower than the spike threshold.
The learning threshold spike can adjust the synaptic weight via weight swapper 113 to enable the system to learn new shapes.
Spike threshold register 112 delivers a spike to local bus 101 which distributes the spike to one or more preselected NPUs in the next layer of the NN.

Good morning All,
Many would have noticed how many new positions are being created by Brainchip management, which is clearly representative of a company whose being flooded.
I have been told that the HR employee at Brainchip in the US simply can't keep up with the amount of hiring action that's currently taking place, the company has on previous occasions mentioned driving the staff base up to around 100, so this plan is obviously still unfolding.
Even with all the available engineers etc that have been laid off by many other tech companies over the last 6 months or so, the real question has to be asked, how many are actually fully qualified in this field of neuromorphic computing, and the answer is not many, we, Brainchip have to train them up, to fully understand the internal workings of Akida, sauce and all.
At the other end of the spectrum we have the sales team, which is also expanding rapidly due to the demand, it's a time consuming business, having untrained sales staff who have first bite at the cherry, would be a disaster waiting to happen, they MUST be able to present Akida in all it's glory, because fluff will be spotted a long way off.
Many, including myself, are waiting to hear that a number of IP contracts have been 100% confirmed as being signed off on, but this end goal is proving extremely hard, hence there is a level of frustration, as time is passing by, why is this so?
Let's not forget the amount of money that's being invested into this new revolutionary technology, it's a major shift that's having to take place, in attitudes, acceptance, belief, trust in Akida and all it's developing magic, but in my opinion, if we don't cross or intersect these large companies at the right time within their OWN design cycles, well, we have to wait and keep waiting until the customer is ready to take that leap, and at this point in Akida's life that is playing out in front of our very eyes.
I do know that we have been engaged with a number of companies who have wanted to know, see Akida in action etc and have simply gone away because the timing wasn't right for them, and we have to respect that.
It all points to a major change on the horizon, and we, Brainchip are going to be the first to see the dawning of a new age, put simply, leaders lead, are first to see the sun rise on this new technological age, so that's how I see the current landscape.
Please remember, I don't speak on behalf of the company, my views as always.

HAPPY DAYS ...And we have a bit of movement
Exactly. ‘Hey Mercedes’, Driver Monitoring Systems and through Valeo is where Akida will shine through. These things take time.As you know ‘Hey Mercedes’ is only a wake up command to get Akida to do its thing. ‘Just talk’ and the use of ‘and’ is much more advance speech identification and IMO makes it more likely that Akida is involved. Anyway, here’s hoping.

I was of the understanding that they tested the Just Talk with Akida by using a beautiful ly dressed lady wearing a see through blouse . She said just talk and then gave the direction to drive her to church . The response was ( You will not be allowed in church ) to which she stated that she had a Devine right to go to mass on a Sunday . Akida replied (You also have a Devine left but you still will not be admitted .—-Bring on Akida.This Motortrend article from Jan 2022 is still available on Brainchip's website today.
Motortrend: Mercedes-Benz Vision EQXX Concept
Mercedes engineers worked with California-based AI developer BrainChip to create systems based on the company's Akida hardware and software.brainchip.comMercedes-Benz Vision EQXX Concept: Did You See This Coming, Elon?
The establishment strikes back.www.motortrend.com
Mercedes engineers worked with California-based artificial-intelligence developer BrainChip to create systems based on the company's Akida hardware and software. Among other things, the technology makes the "Hey, Mercedes" voice control system in the EQXX five to ten times more efficient than conventional voice control.
Even though the new 3rd Gen version of MBUX which is going into the upcoming E-Class is only a pre-cursor to the MBOS, I'd say it's "odds on" that it'll have a little Akida sauce inside. At the very least for the "Just Talk" ( Hey Mercedes ) function.
I also based on poor logic suggest that as Brainchip said late last year they were continuing to work with Mercedes Benz that in all likelihood full implementation aimed at implementing AKIDA technology at scale is still in design or at least still under test if design work has been finalised.
If this poor logic stands up then there is nothing at all to be read into the absence of a discussion of neuromorphic in any other presentation.
My opinion only DYOR
