There's a familiar face amongst the speakersHow to Build Open-Source Neuromorphic Hardware and Algorithms
The brain is the perfect place to look for inspiration to develop more efficient neural networks. While the computational cost of deep learning exceeds millions of dollars to train large-scale models, our brains are somehow equipped to process an abundance of signals from our sensory periphery within a power budget of approximately 10-20 watts. The brain’s incredible efficiency can be attributed to how biological neurons encode data in the time domain as spiking action potentials.
This tutorial will take a hands-on approach to learning how to train spiking neural networks (SNNs), and designing neuromorphic accelerators that can process these models. With the advent of open-sourced neuromorphic training libraries and electronic design automation tools, we will conduct hands-on coding sessions to train SNNs, and attendees will subsequently design a lightweight neuromorphic accelerator in the SKY130 process. Participants will be equipped with practical skills that apply principles of neuroscience to deep learning and hardware acceleration in building the next generation of machine intelligence.

Not related to Brainchip but a good read regarding AI chip from Synopsys.
According to Allied Market Research, the global artificial intelligence (AI) chip market is projected to reach $263.6 billion by 2031. The AI chip market is vast and can be segmented in a variety of different ways, including chip type, processing type, technology, application, industry vertical, and more. However, the two main areas where AI chips are being used are at the edge (such as the chips that power your phone and smartwatch) and in data centers (for deep learning inference and training).
No matter the application, however, all AI chips can be defined as integrated circuits (ICs) that have been engineered to run machine learning workloads and may consist of FPGAs, GPUs, or custom-built ASIC AI accelerators. They work very much like how our human brains operate and process decisions and tasks in our complicated and fast-moving world. The true differentiator between a traditional chip and an AI chip is how much and what type of data it can process and how many calculations it can do at the same time. At the same time, new software AI algorithmic breakthroughs are driving new AI chip architectures to enable efficient deep learning computation.
Read on to learn more about the unique demands of AI, the many benefits of an AI chip architecture, and finally the applications and future of the AI chip architecture.
The Distinct Requirements of AI Chips
The AI workload is so strenuous and demanding that the industry couldn’t efficiently and cost-effectively design AI chips before the 2010s due to the compute power it required—orders of magnitude more than traditional workloads. AI requires massive parallelism of multiply-accumulate functions such as dot product functions. Traditional GPUs were able to do parallelism in a similar way for graphics, so they were re-used for AI applications.
The optimization we’ve seen in the last decade is drastic. AI requires a chip architecture with the right processors, arrays of memories, robust security, and reliable real-time data connectivity between sensors. Ultimately, the best AI chip architecture is the one that condenses the most compute elements and memory into a single chip. Today, we’re moving into multiple chip systems for AI as well since we are reaching the limits of what we can do on one chip.
Chip designers need to take into account parameters called weights and activations as they design for the maximum size of the activation value. Looking ahead, being able to take into account both software and hardware design for AI is extremely important in order to optimize AI chip architecture for greater efficiency.
The Benefits of AI Chip Architecture
There’s no doubt that we are in the renaissance of AI. Now that we are overcoming the obstacles of designing chips that can handle the AI workload, there are many innovative companies that are experts in the field and designing better AI chips to do things that would have seemed very much out of reach a decade ago.
As you move down process nodes, AI chip designs can result in 15 to 20% less clocking speed and 15 to 30% more density, which allows designers to fit more compute elements on a chip. They also increase memory components that allow AI technology to be trained in minutes vs. hours, which translates into substantial savings. This is especially true when companies are renting space from an online data center to design AI chips, but even those using in-house resources can benefit by conducting trial and error much more effectively.
We are now at the point where AI itself is being used to design new AI chip architectures and calculate new optimization paths to optimize power, performance, and area (PPA) based on big data from many different industries and applications.
It’s an exciting time for AI chip architecture. Synopsys predicts that we’ll continue to see next-generation process nodes adopted aggressively because of the performance needs. Additionally, there’s already much exploration around different types of memory as well as different types of processor technologies and the software components that go along with each of these.
In terms of memory, chip designers are beginning to put memory right next to or even within the actual computing elements of the hardware to make processing time much faster. Additionally, software is driving the hardware, meaning that software AI models such as new neural networks are requiring new AI chip architectures. Proven, real-time interfaces deliver the data connectivity required with high speed and low latency, while security protects the overall systems and their data.
Finally, we’ll see photonics and multi-die systems come more into play for new AI chip architectures to overcome some of the AI chip bottlenecks. Photonics provides a much more power-efficient way to do computing and multi-die systems (which involve the heterogeneous integration of dies, often with memory stacked directly on top of compute boards) can also improve performance as the possible connection speed between different processing elements and between processing and memory units increases.
One thing is for sure: Innovations in AI chip architecture will continue to abound, and Synopsys will have a front-row seat and a hand in them as we help our customers design next-generation AI chips in an array of industries.

Hang in there mate. It can be a tough road at times and people have all sorts of strife occurring from time to time.
We all wish it would happen already/would have already happened, and when pressure is applied it can exacerbate personal situations.
Many fine/ clever/ deserving people here who are rooting for Brainchip so at least you're in good company.
We've seen rumors that Mecedes is planning to switch to Luminar's foveated LiDaR, and, Mercedes' expressed preference for component standardization aside, we do not have any proof that Luminar will use Akida, so this GM award to Valeo for ADAS is very encouraging.This interesting that GM are awarding Valeo for service delivery in ADAS arena:

BrainChip signs joint development agreement for Akida neuromorphic chip with Valeo
ByGeorge Tchetvertakov
-
June 9, 2020
"Artificial intelligence device company BrainChip Holdings (ASX: BRN) has taken an affirmative step towards integrating its Akida neuromorphic chip into autonomous vehicles after signing a binding joint development agreement with European automotive supplier Valeo Corporation.
The agreement means both companies will collaborate to develop a new wave of tech solutions based on artificial intelligence (AI) and reduced power consumption within the overarching theme of miniaturisation that’s taking the tech industry by storm."
...
"This latest agreement between BrainChip and Valeo has been hailed as a validation of the company’s Akida device by a Tier-1 sensor supplier and “considered to be a significant development”, according to BrainChip.
In a statement to the market this morning, BrainChip said Valeo will utilise Akida and collaborate on the development of neural network processing solutions, for integration in autonomous vehicles (AVs).
The terms of the deal stipulate that both companies must reach specific performance milestones, with BrainChip stating it expects to receive payments to cover its expenses, subject to the completion of, as yet, undisclosed milestones."
A JD is a different beast from a licence agreement. There is no licence fee. Usually the JD members split the income in proportion to their contribution to the project, so income is still dependent on the number of units sold, but it can have the potential to be significantly greater than a standard royalty fee.
https://www.valeo.com/en/valeo-scala-lidar/
The Honda Legend, which was the first vehicle in the world to be approved for SAE level 3 automated driving, uses Valeo LiDAR scanners, two frontal cameras and a Valeo data fusion controller. The Mercedes-Benz Class S, the second level 3-certified car, is also equipped with a laser LiDAR technology, Valeo SCALA® Gen2.
Valeo’s third-generation laser LiDAR technology, which is scheduled to hit the market in 2024, will take autonomous driving even further, making it possible to delegate driving to the vehicle in many situations, including at speeds of up to 130 km/h on the highway. Even at high speeds on the highway, autonomous vehicles equipped with this system are able to manage emergency situation autonomously."

GM’s new ADAS boasts hands-free technology
By Michelle Thompson on March 16, 2023Announcements | Market Trends | Technology
General Motors (GM) is rolling out a new advanced driver assistance program (ADAS) that it says will enable hands-free driving 95% of the time.
The automaker shared details about its next-generation system, Ultra Cruise, this week and said it will first be launched on the Cadillac Celestiq, a hand-built electric vehicle expected to begin production in December.
...
The OEM said Ultra Cruise-equipped vehicles will contain more than 20 sensors, with a driver attention system in place to ensure the vehicle’s pilot is alert.
“The destination-to-destination hands-free system will use more than just cameras to ‘see’ the world,” GM said in a press release. “Ultra Cruise uses a blend of cameras, short- and long-range radars, LiDAR behind the windshield, an all-new computing system and a driver attention system to monitor the driver’s head position and/or eyes in relation to the road to help ensure driver attention. These systems work together through ‘sensor fusion’ to provide Ultra Cruise with a confident, 360-degree, three-dimensional representation of the vehicle’s surroundings.”
...
A spokeswoman told Repairer Driven News that Ultra Cruise is a Level 2 system.

So if I read this as being AKIDA processing a Prophesee vision sensor better than anyone else in the world ever (my exaggeration) but more over at least better than anyone that Prophesee has trialled or commercially partnered with to date I think it makes sense.
I feel very confident if Brainchip was actually beyond the design stage with its cortical column and sending it off to engineering such an event would at least rate a Tweet but if I was in charge a specially made ASX announcement illuminated in orange neon tube.

I recently bought a small percentage into Liontown though now wish I bought more. I feel your pain, I rode PLS from $0.50 down to $0.20 and sold at $1.20, it recently went over $5.Funny story @Esq.111 ........................ NOT
I bought one million shares of LTR @ $0.03 so $30,000.00 back in the day when they first came across their spodumene deposit.
Thinking i was clever i sold one million shares in LTR @ $0.08 so made $50,000.00 profit .............. woohoo
The rest as they say is history.
Agreed, ............. what will unfold for us? ....................... I sure as hell ain"t selling out @ $2.50

It taught me a good lesson to ride your winners. My plan for BRN is to eventually divest 10% at a number of MC milestones and hold the majority for dividends. I’m not making the same mistake again.

Not sure how to value Brainchip now because as the cortical column question pointed out there is much too much I do not know about just in the technology space which includes the filed patents we have absolutely no knowledge of other than there are around 25 lodged and awaiting determination. I know our engineer @Diogenese is hanging out excitedly for at least one of these as it will be revolutionary. So leaving aside everything else it would be impossible for us on the outside to value Brainchip's intellectual property at this point in time.
Then there are the still to be revealed EAP customers that number from 8 to 10. Who are they are what is going on? I certainly do not know. What if one was Qualcomm for example or Samsung?
Then there is the state of play at Valeo and Mercedes Benz. We have an idea but not the nuts and bolts.
Then there is the Prophesee, ARM, Intel and SiFive inner workings.
Then there is the Teksun, Tata, Renesas, MegaChips secret corporation business that we know naught about.
Then there is DARPA and all the defence contractors hiding their secret squirrel nuts where we cannot find them.
Then there is NASA doing vision and other things which Brainchip is not allowed to talk about and as a result I have not got a clue.
We had a little window into the possibilities with Quantum Ventura and ANT61.
Then there is Biotome and Nanose and probably many in the medical scan technology area that we know scant about.
What I do know is what the most experienced manipulators used say over at HC when they were trying to drive down the price of Brainchip shares when we kept hanging on to the $1.20 to $1.30 range that it was well over priced and they would not be buying back until 70 cents.
None of these manipulator pros thought to even imagine a price in the 40 to 50 cent range ever again back then.
So when I think about the question of what is the FAIR VALUE FOR BRAINCHIP SHARES I say to myself"
"Self you have no idea because there is just so much information which you need to know about things that would surely add value to any appraisal of what Brainchip shares should trade at which is not in your possession.
Self you will look like a fool coming out with a number and Blind Freddie will laugh his head off at you."
So what I will say is that taking guidance from the most experienced manipulators over at HC there can be no doubt that being available for under 70 cents a share represents being deeply into oversold territory.
My opinion only DYOR

There’s no way PVDM will let his first born go for <$20bn usd. He doesn’t need the money, this is his lifes work his higher purpose and anyone attempting a buyout would have to court him very well to gain his vote and the 1000s that would likely follow his lead. So let’s start there.
Just my opinion.
