I am very excited with the response for this year's Edge ML series. As we get closer to the event I wanted to share with you a preview of the agenda (check the link!) great content from Demystifying Edge ML to hands on workshops using the best HW out there to run your IoT + ML Applications (TI, Nordic, Alif and brainchip). If you are not technical but still want to learn what it takes to build, join me and one of out experts and let's walk together through the workshops and get an inside view.
March 27 is just around the corner for San Jose and Amsterdam! register int he link below (now with agenda!!!!)

The program on the Edge Impulse site also mentions Sony.
12:00–13:00 Lunch (demo area)
Demos from TI, BrainChip, Alif, Nordic, Sony, MemryX, and NovTech
Great find White Horse,New article about 1500 tape-out.

"If there is a market for the Akida 1500 chip, this could prove a faster way to market than the IP licence route: "The AKD 1500 chip is expected to be available soon"Great find White Horse,
This is new:
BRAINCHIP ANNOUNCES SUCCESSFULLY TAPED OUT AKD1500 CHIP ON GLOBALFOUNDRIES’ 22NM FD-SOI PROCESS
...
The AKD1500 is BrainChip’s flagship product designed to deliver AI processing capabilities on edge. The chip features BrainChip’s patented spiking neural network (SNN) technology, which is capable of learning, recognizing, and processing patterns in real-time. The AKD1500 is ideal for various applications, including advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS), surveillance, and autonomous robotics.
...
The AKD1500 chip is expected to be available soon and will be a significant addition to BrainChip’s portfolio of edge AI solutions. The company has already received strong interest from several customers looking to use AKD1500 in their products.
No mention of flagships or ADAS in the 20230129 announcement:
https://brainchip.com/brainchip-tapes-out-akd1500-chip-in-globalfoundries-22nm-fd-soi-process/ :
The AKD1500 is designed as an accelerator reference chip, using quad/octal SPI interfaces for MCU modules and PCIe for extensible cards, which assists partners in developing and demonstrating their solutions as a stepping stone to integrating the Akida IP into their production SoCs.
Back to the new announcement:
"customers looking to use the AKD 1500 in their products" -
does this mean that the hardware chips will be sold as commercial products rather than only as a demonstration on a PCIe board?
MegaChips can provide the Akida 1000 SoC chip, and GF can supply the AKD 1500 partial SoC for which "The Company has already received strong interest from several customers"?
If there is a market for the Akida 1500 chip, this could prove a faster way to market than the IP licence route: "The AKD 1500 chip is expected to be available soon"
MegaChips do not have the FD-SIO technology."If there is a market for the Akida 1500 chip, this could prove a faster way to market than the IP licence route: "The AKD 1500 chip is expected to be available soon"
Personally, I don't think the Company has changed strategy and are just testing the "recipe" as Rob put it, but it could be a bit of both?..
These customers would be very sizable and it seems a bit odd, that they would take chips, rather than have more control over the options of how many nodes etc?..
The early timing of the capital raise, does give weight, to the possibility of a production run of AKIDA1500 though..
I'm a bit back and forth on this one ..
I'd prefer they stuck to the IP model..
If the chip run was for customers, it would have to be a straight payment?..
If it's a case of "you put up the funds and run a large batch and if they work, we might buy them" scenario..
Then it seems like a bit of a high risk play..
On another thought..
A new IP licence, that we could probably lay money on, would be MegaChips, as their current licence only covers AKIDA1000.
I thought they were more of a design house, like ARM and the actual chips are produced at foundries?MegaChips do not have the F-SIO technology.
Regardless though, the AKIDA1500 IP would also be process agnostic?I thought they were more of a design house, like ARM and the actual chips are produced at foundries?
Or that's correct, but they don't have licence to work with the other design process?
Some of my terminology is probably a bit jumbled, but I'm sure you know what I meanRegardless though, the AKIDA1500 IP would also be processor agnostic?
I'm guessing it has a few more bells and whistles over AKIDA1000 and is not just the IP minus ARM processor and on another chip architecture?
I suspect these "customers" are keen to test the chips functionality and validate 1500 with their particular needs before signing onto Ip licencing. My guess is government contracts, hence use of GF. Defence! And not just USA. Possibly global defence contractors friendly with USA. Through Megachips. They are keen on flushing US market."If there is a market for the Akida 1500 chip, this could prove a faster way to market than the IP licence route: "The AKD 1500 chip is expected to be available soon"

'Aim to launch' means more to me - all of the commercialization steps are complete and we're ready to go to market with an actual productGood morning fellow brners, now can someone tell me the difference when someone states these words or someone states these words -
Aim to "commercialise"products
or
Aim to " launch" products
which represents (rocket ship ready for the button to be pressed ) which is it
