Just to give an example of how long it can take to implement new technology for the depressed/panicked posters here..
DEEPX has signed a memorandum of understanding with Hyundai Motor Co. and Kia Corp. to further develop its artificial intelligence semiconductor technology designed for robots.
Hyundai Motor is the parent company of Kia Corp., and they both share a robotics lab at the
Uiwang R&D Center in Gyeonggi-do, South Korea.
The companies have used DEEPX's technology as part of a proof-of-concept phase over the past year to run algorithms that allow robots to smoothly complete their tasks.
DEEPX said its semiconductor technology demonstrated that it offers high AI computational efficiency and low power operation, making it suitable for mass production.
As part of the agreement, Hyundai and Kia plan to take this technology out of development, commercialize it and then mass-produce it. The companies said they will integrate DEEPX's system-on-chip (
SoC) into their own products that are being developed at the robotics lab.
“I expect we can lead the excellent robotics service development in both performance and price by combining the SW technology of the Robotics Lab and DEEPX's HW technology,” said Dong Jin-Hyun, leader of the Hyundai and Kia Robotics Lab. “
As soon as we confirm and examine the superiority of DEEPX NPU chip products, we will carry on with further cooperation and apply it to the robot that is under research and development.”
After testing out its technology at its robotics lab for the past year, Hyundai and Kia have signed an agreement with Tokyo-based DEEPX to commercialize its AI semiconductors.

At least 12 months in and even when there is confirmation of the chip performance, further cooperation (testing) will have to be performed.
So LOL at the disappointment of waiting many months for new licence agreements with Brainchip. How’s this for realistic
@Foxdog ?
Brainchip have built a solid foundation. I will stress again that impatience is what is breeding the anxiety on here.
