Way too technical for me, but the conclusions are promising if this is what akida 2.0 can do at the edge
PvdM said in "4 bits are enough"
https://brainchip.com/4-bits-are-enough/ :
With the focus on edge AI solutions that are extremely energy-sensitive and thermally constrained and require efficient real-time response, this advantage of 4-bit weights and activations is compelling and shows a strong trend in the coming years.
After mentioning that BrainChip first used 4 bits in 2015 (Studio?), he referred to some 2020 IBM research which found that 4 bits could be as accurate as 16 bit deep learning, only faster and more efficient, so maybe they need the accuracy of 32 bit or 64 bit weights and measures.
We've been working with Valeo for a few years, so it would be late in the day for the requirement to originate with them. However, we have only just learned of the Luminar/Mercedes tie up, so it may be that their foveated LiDaR needs higher precision.
ISL and the USAF radar may be another option. All those fighter planes look the same on radar.
Of course there are many things which we do not know ...
Exactly FF. I mentioned on the Voldamort site a couple of years ago that I thought that the 3 year lead would get bigger not shrink as we released other chips. I also believe the tech is very sticky, meaning once you use it you won't hange just maybe upgrade as very expensive to change techs. Of course I know nothing about tech so take it with a grain of salt.Here is a question asked by someone with intellect over on that other place:
"How does Loihi 2 compete with Akida 2?"
Do not answer this question straight away.
Take time to consider what you have been told about each to date.
Remember what Mike Davies said about Intel needing to simplify the process of training Loihi 2 so you do not need a Phd.
Think about the fact that Loihi 2 is a research chip and that it is a research chip because it does not yet give perfect performance every time.
Think about the fact that even at 7nm it did not match the performance of AKD1000.
Think about the fact that AKD1500 moved the goal posts further away from where Loihi 2 has placed its ball.
Keep thinking about all the little advantages we know as fact that AKD 1000 has over Loihi 2 and tomorrow when further details about AKIDA 2000 are released try and provide an answer to the above question if you can.
My opinion only DYOR

Does it still say trusted by Valeo? I couldn't find it anymore
Yeahhh, that's right..Yes, we spotted your deliberate mistake! (when you pointed it out)
What's interesting is their follow-up "launch" announcement for 9:00 AM EST, half an hour before the US markets open today. While I typically see market announcements posted from the previous day's ASX announcements, it seems mysterious that they would deliberately point this out.Just need a follow up announcement about a customer coming on board.
Time will tellI don't want to dash your hopes, but what do you guys expect from the upcoming press release?
Are there any indications that there'd be some more information?
Don't get me wrong. The announcement today kicked ass and, but I don't see any indication that hints for something more...

I'd never noticed the similarity between Homer and Humphrey before.
