If ARM was an arm, BRN would be its biceps💪!
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 ...
Qualcomm also talk of 4-bits in future, don't they? Not sure what it all means but I think of it something like:
Three, six, nine the goose drank wine..
