How to Seize the EV opportunity with Voice AI!

By Kumar Abhimanyu, Senior Vice President & Head of Sales and Adam Emfield, Director, User Experience at Cerence Inc. (NASDAQ: CRNC) It’s often been said that history repeats itself – and our habits at the pump are no exception.

Idea for today.

Towards the end of 2020 the former CEO referred to monitoring consumer electricity use in China to save power.

Recently I posted the linked in page from the Head of Ai Research at DELL China.

Yesterday the English translation of his paper was posted here.

So my thought is perhaps the 1,000 Eyes might see what connections DELL China have to the Electricity market in China and what if any products or projects they might have or have had regarding the type of monitoring Mr. Dinardo spoke about.

Hi Delekto

Diogenes looked at their offering against AKIDA and made the very valid point that they strictly speaking do not both inhabit the edge as AKIDA knows it. The following evidences his point:

The quadric processor contains the first ever instance of our fully custom architecture.​

Learn More About The Architecture

256 Vortex Cores.​

The quadric processor contains a q16 Architecture instance featuring 256 Vortex Cores.

Highly Compatible.​

The power of software defined hardware. This processor can handle any algorithm you throw at it.

Low Power.​

The processor consumes 4.5W TDP. Embeddable in a wide range of edge applications

Low power means different things to different people.

EE Times article

Quadric, the startup building accelerator chips for computer vision and AI acceleration, has raised $21 million in a Series B funding round. The round was once again led by NSITEXE, a group company of Japanese automotive Tier 1 supplier Denso, with additional investment form MegaChips alongside existing investors. The company has raised a total of $39 million to date.

Hi all
The following link takes you to a series of archived articles authored by MegaChips the most recent of which is from 2020. Funnily enough it is all about MegaChips Smart-doorbell/security solutions and the problems it resolves.

As I have said my personal strength is memory for narrative and on this occasion I recall that in 2019 the former CEO Mr. Dinardo first started to speak about the opportunity for AKIDA in the Smart-doorbell market.

Put simply the problem MegaChip is attempting to solve is the bandwidth and wifi connectivity problems associated with the rapid adoption of Smarthome technology not envisage when the cabling and building of cities and homes originally took place.

The huge advantage AKIDA technology brings is making the endpoint smart so that many functions can be performed on device without the need to further congest overloaded embedded infrastructure.

It should be noted that Rob Lincourt of DELL Technologies spoke to the advantage to bandwidth congestion of being able to as he put it of doing a little bit of the processing at the endpoint and only sending relevant Meta data.

The Smart City Archives - MegaChips

megachips.com

In my opinion the continuing discussion and reference to doorbells by the former CEO Mr. Dinardo, Peter van der Made, Anil Mankar and Rob Telson has to be the smoke of a fire somewhere.

Could it be MegaChips????

Problem????? What problem!

[LongTermInvestor]

Looks like BRN is deliberately capped at 96.5 so the big boys can accumulate more under $1.
The shorters are taking advantage of this situation to make some quick bucks.
It would be interesting if there is a short squeeze style buying happening on BRN.

BrainChip’s (ASX:BRN) Akida tech to be sold through Socionext​

Technology​

ASX:BRN MCAP $1.701B

Today, BrainChip told shareholders the Akida product will be offered to customers by Socionext through the Japanese company’s AI platform.

Moreover, the product goes hand-in-hand with Socionext’s SynQuacer Multi-Core Processor. BrainChip’s Akida and Socionext’s SynQuacer can be combined to create a high-speed, high-density, low-power video and imaging analysis system.

BrainChip said the integrated products can be used in surveillance systems, live streams, and other applications to analyse, recognise, and segment sections of videos and photos.

This all falls under the umbrella of “edge” computing, which is the latest era of technology. Rather than relying on cloud-based tech which needs to connect to a far-away server to transmit information, edge tech does all of the processing in-house.

If you keep this up, the ogre will be unemployed.

On a positive note though - this video is focussing on 5G network and data centre applications.

And while the SynQuacer SC2A11 isn't us, Brainchip has mentioned previously that Akida can be combined with this processor by system developers and OEM's....so hopefully they go hand in hand...

Hi Rocket
The timeline does fit:

1. 23.3.2020 - Socionext & Brainchip announce AKIDA to be made available with SynQuacer

2. Early 2021 Socionext release the video (your over a year ago) at the time of releasing the video they have been working with Anil Mankar
and crew on the design modifications to the engineering AKD1000 prior to handing it off to TSMC for production.

3. August, 2021 Socionext at trade show demonstrating AKD1000 and SynQuacer.

4. August, 2021 Brainchip has the commercial AKD1000 for testing from TSMC via Socionext.

5. The SynQuacer AKD1000 combo is not aimed at the retail consumer market but for the commercial market. Thus long marketing, sales and implementation lead times.

My favourite quote that I use often is from Bullet Tooth Tony from the movie 'Snatch':
'Never underestimate the predictability of stupidity'.

This is also a useful principle when investing as well when you see retail panic, worry about short term price etc. Markets are a collective of predictable stupidity.

So the Socionext/Hailo deal was 2 months after the Socionext/BrainChip deal. At that time Akida was yet to reach full maturity, so maybe Hailo had an oven-ready chip?
