Sure @FactFinder! I don't know how to knit but I'm always up for a bit of a challenge! What size are you? I mean what are your dimensions? I'll have to get started soon if I want to get this to you by Christmas.

Good morning/afternoon/evening, wherever you are viewing this platform.

Is this current window of opportunity rapidly coming to an end, well, I believe so, 45c is a complete fabrication of the truth, things are about
to explode on a worldwide scale (my educated opinion).

This is the biggest change of direction that our company embarked on within months of Sean taking over the reigns, he
is passionate, competitive, well researched, is etching out a direct path to success for the benefit of all.

Many would have seen a number of years ago the slide of a potential roadmap unveiling the future direction of AKIDA,
that is, AKD 1 through to AKD 10, being (AGI).

Last week I spoke with Peter briefly to ask him to please explain or more to the point, clarify what he actually meant when
referring to AGI, as many would already know, the Singularity suggests a future world where humans loose their sense of
reality and technology gets out of control, Peter was very clear in expressing his views on this matter, with the emphasis on
Beneficial AI .

"We don't expect to achieve AGI by 2030"

There may be more than 7 chips taped out, there maybe IP's developed for specific customers, I really get the sense that we are
being extremely flexible and accommodating, yes we are a young start-up, and it's natural to want to please all potential clients,
so this business attitude will be respected to the point that we are going to end up in a much stronger, commanding position
in the overall market.

After receiving Peter's reply I had to readdress my own understanding, without realizing it as such, I was still locked into Lou's
earlier roadmap, which has changed for the better in my personal opinion.

Another area where my own understanding was wrong, was in the fact that, despite us changing direction rather sharply 3 months prior
to the last AGM, we are still potentially going to be supplying NSoC for specific customers for specific end user cases (products).

Finally, may I say that @Steve10 you have become a very strong contributor on this forum, you present excellent material and are
nicely balanced in your views, your figures give many food for thought, so from me personally, I say thank you.

From a rather hot day in Perth, I say cheers everyone. Tech

Thanks mate.

I have a good understanding of what is going on behind the scenes at BRN.

Without going into too much detail, I have been involved in sales & marketing successfully launching new tech/industrial products in Australia for US & European listed companies in the past. I was an Applications/Sales Engineer & then Regional Sales Manager reporting to CEO. Had long sales cycle similar to BRN & a multi-million dollar sales budget. Most of the things Rob, Jerome etc are doing at BRN I was doing as well.

The processes & methods the key hires at BRN learnt working for big name companies in the past are being replicated at BRN. Most importantly their ecosystem of contacts in the semiconductor industry is highly valuable for BRN.

We are at the pointy end now with revenue definitely commencing in H2 FY23.

Hi FF.
On reading this the second time around, I have an idea that they may be referring to Akida Ver 2.0. Note the use of 8 bit.

A. TARGET HARDWARE
StereoSpike has resolutely been developed in the philosophy
of spiking neural networks. As a result, it is essentially
implementable on dedicated neuromorphic hardware, such as
Intel Loihi [7], IBM TrueNorth [8]. These chips can leverage
the binarity and sparsity of spike tensors navigating through
the network. In addition, we believe that our model being
feedforward and requiring a reset on all of its neurons at each
timestep is not a problem, because resetting membrane poten-
tials is actually less costly than applying a leak. Therefore,
statelessness can be seen as an advantage over recurrence in
spiking models with similar performances. However, we are
aware that current neuromorphic chips are initially designed
for the implementation of stateful units, and acknowledge that
we do not leverage this feature. Consequently, we believe
that it rather fits to dedicated hardware for stateless models
with sparse quantized activations. We therefore consider that
Brainchip’s Akida chip [9] is a good fit. As it imposes
weights to take at most 8 bit, we quantized StereoSpike’s
weights using PyTorch natively available post-training static
quantization. The process resulted in an even lighter model
with 8 bit wide unsigned integer weights, for the price
of a minor performance drop (i.e., MDE of 17.1 cm
on indoorflying split 1). Presumably, quantization-aware
training would do even better. This demonstrates the efficient
deployability on such hardware. Finally, we would like
to emphasize that our class of model with sparse binary
activations and less constrained weights provides a good
compromise between Spiking Neural Networks (SNNs) and
Binary Neural Networks (BNNs).

Hi @White Horse
I agree with you and why I revisited this paper.

We, well mainly @TechGirl and me, talk about Science Fiction.

True Science Fiction always takes time to be adopted but once adopted because it is such a leap forward it becomes part of the furniture.

Take Penicillin a drug credited with turning the practice of medicine on its head and changing the course of human history by saving countless lives.

In a couple of months I will turn 70. Unlike my wife I have few true memories of my very early childhood.

Going back 67 years one I have, which as an adult I confirmed with my father, was when I was 3 years old being taken by him to see our GP Dr. Drummond Snr. because I had an ear infection.

I remember I was scared of Dr. Drummond Snr.

To my pleasant surprise he was not there it was his son young Dr. Drummond.

I remember he worked in research at a University normally but was filling in for his father.

I remember my father was seated and I was standing between his legs as Dr. Drummond looked in my ears.

He then told my father he was going to take a swab and grow a culture. I had never heard of such a thing as a culture.

He set up the glass dishes and took his swabs and told us that we were to come back the next day.

The next day we came back and I was fascinated as one dish had this purple blob thing in the middle and the other one virtually nothing to be seen.

Dr. Drummond told us that he had grown the two cultures and treated one with Penicillin and the Penicillin had killed the culture.

The purple one though which he did not treat was still growing.

Dr. Drummond explained to my father that he wanted to give me this Penicillin.

Next thing I knew I was being given a Penicillin injection in my backside.

The rest so to speak is history.

The point is that the idea that a Doctor today would feel compelled to go to these lengths to have a patient agree to a course of Penicillin is fanciful.

Yet like Penicillin so much of what we take for granted today and treat as part of the furniture was once akin to Science Fiction and met with scepticism but there always came a tipping point when disbelief turned to wonder then acceptance.

I personally believe that AKIDA is midway between wonder and widespread acceptance.

Neuromorphic Computing and Hyper-Realistic Generative AI

Neuromorphic computing is gaining increased attention and it will enable hyper-realistic generative AI, representing a paradigm shift in society.

www.thedigitalspeaker.com

This is indeed a nice write up:

“BrainChip​

One company at the forefront of this innovation is the Australian startup, BrainChip, which has developed a range of neuromorphic computing hardware and software solutions for edge devices.

At the heart of BrainChip's technology is the Akida Neuromorphic System-on-Chip (NSoC), which is specifically designed to perform pattern recognition and sensory processing tasks with high efficiency and low power consumption. This makes it an ideal solution for edge devices such as surveillance cameras and drones, which require advanced processing capabilities but have limited power and computational resources.

The Akida NSoC is based on a unique architecture that combines digital and analog processing elements, allowing it to perform complex computations while maintaining low power consumption. It also incorporates a spiking neural network (SNN) architecture, modelled on the behaviour of biological neurons and synapses.

BrainChip's technology has a range of potential applications in industries such as security and surveillance, as well as in autonomous vehicles and robotics. As a result of BrainChip's ability to perform advanced processing tasks with high efficiency and low power consumption, next-generation computing solutions are becoming more intelligent, efficient, and responsive”

Look out world Brainchip is coming.

By the way did you notice how @Rocket577 ‘s nice article is written without any preconditions such ‘if it works’, ‘they claim’, ‘time will tell’ etc; This article believes it is happening as I type.

Now isn’t that nice.

Don’t have much to say about intel. So maybe someone should show this to Shareman

Intel acquired Nervana Systems, a startup working on deep learning chipsets, in 2016. Nervana’s technology is based on what are called “neural processors,” which are designed to accelerate deep learning workloads. Intel plans to use Nervana’s technology in a variety of applications, including data center servers and autonomous vehicles.

You'll probably get a promotion now, assuming you have an equal opportunity employer.
Doubt there can be too many in your particular niche and if you don't get the bump you can sue 'em for discrimination.....
It was brave of you to come out like that.

Maybe,...... but more immediately impactful is the fact that 5 top U.S. banks have stepped up to contibute billions (30 +) to Silicon Valley Bank which is huge. Feds can exhale, for the time being, as a result.

On top of the nearly 1 trillion the major world banks have promised the banking system, everyone can take a breather, just for now, unless your into crypto and investing in precious metals you won’t lose for now

The big players in MCU market.

30B MCU's were sold in 2021 which will increase to 70B in 2030.

The top 5 had 82.1% market share in 2021.
