ROFL I said no more, then just bought another 19k worth. I'll be honest and say, they are not likely to be long term hold more mid term end of year stuff. Well, we'll see

I bought more today as well. AKIDA validated by ARM? ... doesn't get much better than that.

Sorry I should have included this as well because it's all interrelated.

ARM adds AI, virtual hardware support to Keil MDK 6

ARM is to launch Keil MDK6 with support for the M55 and M85 Cortex cores, AI accelerators and virtual hardware.

Obviously ARM will not commit to using AKIDA at the 'Tech Talk' but if they say how good it is, compatibility, what they can do with the addition of AKIDA blah, blah the market should be able to read between the lines.
This is a great tool to give the market an 'its getting closer' feel'.
Markets move on expectations - they look forward.

No doubt we will see some quick fire posts during/after the session. Hopefully anyway. On hols in Bali ATM so screen time a little limited.

To give a convincing demonstration, they will probably show real life applications, rather than just fps etc., with M85 running some application software.

Perhaps they will give some performance figures for use of Akida 2 with M85 and, say, Prophesee or a LiDaR system running with some navigation software on M85 ... or vibration detection with M85 responding to the Akida classification ... or more exotic applications involving TeNNs/ViT. By moving TeNNs to the Akida software, it may be possible to run much more complex applications on an MCU than was previously possible because such functions take up too much processing power when done in software.

Less than half a sleep to find out ...

I used to get excited about events such as these…can we all remember the excitement around the big reveal with valeo and it was something like an electric bike???
Agreed it’s awesome that Arm with be showing Akida wares…just pls don’t be too disappointed if 5/8 of F all comes out of it, especially those who want to have a whinge about SP! We haven’t had any price sensitive announcement in relation to this, so I’m not expecting much from the tech event tonight.
In saying that, it’s still bloody exciting and some great exposure for us.
Cheers and Akida ballista

Enabling Ultra-Low Power Edge Inference and On-Device Learning with Akida​

Date: Tuesday, May 23
Start Time: 4:50 pm
End Time: 5:20 pm

The AIoT industry is expected to reach $1T by 2030—but that will happen only if edge devices rapidly become more intelligent. In this presentation, we’ll show how BrainChip’s Akida IP solution enables improved edge ML accuracy and on-device learning with extreme energy efficiency. Akida is a fully digital, neuromorphic, event-based AI engine that offers unique on-device learning abilities, minimizing the need for cloud retraining. We will demonstrate Akida’s compelling performance and extreme energy efficiency on complex models and explain how Akida executes spatial-temporal convolutions using innovative handling of 3D and 1D data. We’ll also show how Akida supports low-power implementation of vision transformers, and we’ll introduce the Akida developer ecosystem, which enables both AI experts and newcomers to quickly deploy disruptive edge AI applications that weren’t possible before.

Hi All

I was just checking out the embedded vision summit that BrainChip is speaking at on 23rd May & noticed Jae-sun Seo - Associate Professor of Electrical Engineering at Arizona State University is speaking about SNN.

Efficient Neuromorphic Computing with Dynamic Vision Sensor, Spiking Neural Network Accelerator and Hardware-Aware Algorithms - 2023 Embedded Vision Summit

Efficient Neuromorphic Computing with Dynamic Vision Sensor, Spiking Neural Network Accelerator and Hardware-Aware Algorithms​

Date: Tuesday, May 23
Start Time: 12:00 pm
End Time: 12:30 pm

Spiking neural networks (SNNs) mimic biological nervous systems. Using event-driven computation and communication, SNNs achieve very low power consumption. However, two important issues have persisted. First, directly training SNNs has not yielded competitive inference accuracy. Second, non-spike inputs must be converted to spike trains, resulting in long latency. Recently, SNN algorithm accuracy has improved significantly, aided by new training techniques, and commercial event-based dynamic vision sensors (DVSs) have emerged. Integrating a spike-based DVS with an SNN accelerator is a promising approach for end-to-end, event-driven operations. We also need accurate and hardware-aware SNN algorithms that can be directly trained with input spikes from a DVS while reducing storage and compute requirements. In this talk, we’ll introduce the characteristics, opportunities and challenges of SNNs, and present results from projects utilizing neuromorphic algorithms and custom hardware.

Good post, this all has the pre 4c feels about it, when people were talking up all the millions that could be there but we’re never gonna be there then all the toys came out of the cot because they weren’t there. I fell for something similar before the ces this year. All the pre build up was great, I’m sure the demos were great, and was hoping for another “Mercedes moment” but nothing material.
ARM can/will be a game changing partner but it’s a tech talk, there’ll be some nice demos, it’ll be interesting and informative with talk of possibilities and potentials but there’ll be nothing material in this event. Very happy to eat humble pie tomorrow if wrong but I expect no change to current flat sp trend and think some expectations need to be tempered.
