How good would it be now that they have released this if Mercedes grabbed a license and then by Friday Prophasee jumped on board also?

$2.34 would seem like a bargain for sure. Ahhh to dream hey?
I think our relationship with Prophesee is more like a joint venture than a licence.

“Through our collaboration with BrainChip, we are enabling the combination of SiFive’s RISC-V processor IP portfolio and BrainChip’s 2nd generation Akida neuromorophic IP to provide a power-efficient, high capability solution for AI processing on the Edge,” said Phil Dworsky, Global Head of Strategic Alliances at SiFive. “Deeply embedded applications can benefit from the combination of compact SiFive Essential™ processors with BrainChip’s Akida-E, efficient processors; more complex applications including object detection, robotics, and more can take advantage of SiFive X280 Intelligence™ AI Dataflow Processors tightly integrated with BrainChip’s Akida-S or Akida-P neural processors.”

Google deploys SiFive's Intelligence X280 processor for AI workloads​

Hybridizes the RISC-V cores with TPU architecture

Google is using the RISC-V-based SiFive Intelligence X280 processor in combination with the Google TPU, as part of its portfolio of AI chips.
Fabless chip designer SiFive said that it was also being used by NASA, Tenstorrent, Renesas, Microchip, Kinara, and others.
RISC-V is an open standard instruction set architecture based on established RISC principles, which is provided under open source licenses that do not require fees.

– SiFive/Google
At the AI Hardware Summit in Santa Clara, Krste Asanovic, SiFive's co-founder and chief architect took to the stage with Cliff Young, Google TPU Architect and MLPerf co-founder.
The SiFive Intelligence X280 is a multi-core capable RISC-V processor with vector extension, optimized for AI/ML applications in the data center.
At the summit, the two companies explained that the X280 processor is being used as the AI Compute Host to provide flexible programming combined with the Google MXU (systolic matrix multiplier) accelerator in the data center. However, they did not disclose the scale of the deployment.
SiFive has introduced the Vector Coprocessor Interface eXtension (VCIX), allowing customers to plug an accelerator directly into the vector register file of the X280.
Google already uses third-party ASIC design services with Broadcom for its in-house TPU AI chip, instead focusing on developing its strengths - the Matrix Multiply Unit and the Inter-Chip Interconnect.
Now it is adding the X280 in what Google calls "an elegant division of labor with the TPU," taking the MXUs and combining them with the X280.
Google's Cliff Young said that with SiFive VCIX-based general purpose cores “hybridized” with Google MXUs, you can build a machine "that lets you have your cake and eat it too."

Anyone who has not read the Forbes article make time. It confirms that AKIDA ESP offers 1,2,4&8 bit activations and much much more.

The last two paragraphs inspired me to break my golden rule and buy more BRN:

“Brainchip’s bio-inspired Akida platform is certainly an unusual way to tackle AI/ML applications. While most other NPU vendors are figuring out how many MACs they can fit – and power – on the head of a pin, Brainchip is taking an alternative approach that’s been proven by Mother Nature to work over many tens of millions of years.

In Tirias Research’s opinion, it’s not the path taken to the result that’s important, it’s the result that counts. If Brainchip’s Akida event-based platform succeeds, it won’t be the first time that a radical new silicon technology has swept the field. Consider DRAMs (dynamic random access memories), microprocessors, microcontrollers, and FPGAs (field programmable gate arrays), for example. When those devices first appeared, there were many who expressed doubts. No longer. It’s possible that Brainchip has developed yet another breakthrough that could rank with those previous innovations. Time will tell.”

My mistake and opinion only so DYOR

This akida 2nd Gen launch has the potential to be the precursor to a mountain of towels being thrown into the ring from technology companies competing within this space.

Rememeber what Jean-Luc Chatelain (CTO Accenture) said in a podcast with Sean in January about transfomers. He said they call transformers "supermodels". Here's a reminder thanks to @BaconLover's transcript.

So, presumably this means AKIDA 2000 will be EXTREMELY well suited to all NLP and Generative AI applications like ChatCPT, not to mention "Cerence's Immersive Companion" which is slated for release FY23/24 about which everyone knows my opinion. Wink, wink, nudge, nudge...

4.8m shorts taken out yesterday. There is definitely an attempt to slow this rocket. This company without these attacks would be worth a lot more and the revenue that is coming is going to burn these shorters soon.

Well if google want to maximize the efficiency of their TPU, they need to get over the "not-invented-here" syndrome:

Their next batch of X280s may come pre-fitted with Akida 2P.

Rat folk backed by big money need to close out their positions as they quickly scurry away under the cover of an indeterminate lead from USA overnight, pending likely domestic rate rise and some of our thunder being appropriated by WBT news.
In the burgeoning light of our announcements they can only hold it down so long. 🤣
Takes the manipulators days to weeks to build their positions.
They run the risk of a squeeze if panic sets in and they need to escape in haste.
Oh, for another announcement with some dollars attached right about now.
Would be glorious. 🤣

We are outside of market hours so here is something that could be upramping if taken too seriously.

ChatGPT needs to lower its electricity consumption about 60 billion percent. Slight exaggeration but what it uses boggles the imagination and is unsustainable. There have been some articles citing the need for a neuromorphic solution to some of the processing needs of ChatGPT.

Moving to 8 bit adds an important strategic opportunity to the AKIDA -v- GPU competition.

My opinion only DYOR

AKIDA BALLISTA
My wish is that ChatGPT can be a reader option used on this thread in the future. Having noticed how it can detect my emotion, it could similarly detect and prune out (say) quip-posts, flaming-posts etc. and save reading time.

Conversely, if you would miss the fun content, it could prune out the serious stuff.

Quick question. The original roadmap shows Akida 2000 as being "an optimised version of AKD 1500 for LSTM and transformers". We now know that Akida 2000 includes the transformer part, but what happened to the LSTM part? Or have LSTM's been replaced with TENN's? I tried to google information on TNN's but kept getting articles about tennis, which was entertaining but not particularly helpful. But then I discovered something that @TechGirl posted from Carnegie Mellon University which describes TNN's as follows:

Processor Architecture: Temporal Neural Networks (TNN)
Temporal Neural Networks (TNNs) are a special class of spiking neural networks, for implementing a class of functions based on the space time algebra. By exploiting time as a computing resource, TNNs are capable of performing sensory processing with very low system complexity and very high energy efficiency as compared to conventional ANNs & DNNs. Furthermore, one key feature of TNNs involves using spike timing dependent plasticity (STDP) to achieve a form of machine learning that is unsupervised, continuous, and emergent.

We need to get off the ASX ASAP. This why we have extremely low US investors. Today we had 150,000 shares traded, average is 40,000 or less. We will not get the US investor until we are listed on NASDAQ.

As much as I want this to happen, we are not there yet. Whether it is NYSE or NASDAQ, I believe every exchange will have it's own listing rules similar to this.
