BRN Discussion Ongoing

We've written about Nota AI before. The Seoul-based start-up has developed an AI solution for safe crossing. That alone is worth mentioning.

Nota AI highlights how technology can reduce Vulnerable Road User risk

The South Korean traffic solutions company Nota AI, which specialises in using Artificial Intelligence to better manage road safety, will explain to delegates at the ITS European Congress in Lisbon next week how technology can be used to reduce vulnerable road user related accident risks.

Deep Neural Networks (DNN) have become a critical component of tactical applications, assisting the warfighter in interpreting and making decisions from vast and disparate sources of data. Whether image, signal or text data, remotely sensed or scraped from the web, cooperatively collected or intercepted, DNNs are the go-to tool for rapid processing of this information to extract relevant features and enable the automated execution of downstream applications. Deployment of DNNs in data centers, ground stations and other locations with extensive power infrastructure has become commonplace but at the edge, where the tactical user operates, is very difficult. Secure, reliable, high bandwidth communications are a constrained resource for tactical applications which limits the ability to routed data collected at the edge back to a centralized processing location. Data must therefore be processed in real-time at the point of ingest which has its own challenges as almost all DNNs are developed to run on power hungry GPUs at wattages exceeding the practical capacity of solar power sources typically available at the edge. So what then is the future of advanced AI for the tactical end user where power and communications are in limited supply. Neuromorphic processors may provide the answer. Blue Ridge Envisioneering, Inc. (BRE) proposes the development of a systematic and methodical approach to deploying Deep Neural Network (DNN) architectures on neuromorphic hardware and evaluating their performance relative to a traditional GPU-based deployment. BRE will develop and document a process for benchmarking a DNN’ s performance on a standard GPU, converting it to run on commercially available neuromorphic hardware, training and evaluating model accuracy for a range of available bit quantizations, characterizing the trade between power consumption and the various bit quantizations, and characterizing the trade between throughput/latency and the various bit quantizations. This process will be demonstrated on a Deep Convolutional Neural Network trained to classify Electronic Warfare (EW) emitters in data collected by AFRL in 2011. The BrainChip Akida Event Domain Neural Processor development environment will be utilized for demonstration as it provides a simulated execution environment for running converted models under the discrete, low quantization constraints of neuromorphic hardware. In the option effort we pursue direct Spiking Neural Network (SNN) implementation and compare performance on the Akida hardware, and potentially other vendor’s hardware as well. We demonstrate the capability operating on real hardware in a relevant environment by conducting a data collection and demonstration activity at a U.S. test range with relevant EW emitters.

Hi Nick,

DRP-AI is the Renesas in-house AI. It does not contain Akida.

Raul Vergara Executive Vice President Growth at Edge Impulse

Big thank you to all partners who put together amazing content for this road show and for all who attended Boston event (and last event of H1 Edge ML Series). Loved the questions and comments from what was a very lively audience. Thank you Mithun Das for bringing your daughter Sashrika - promising future engineer! Hope to inspire her to continue doing amazing things.

Participating parters: Alif Semiconductor, BrainChip, Nordic Semiconductor MemryX Inc.Texas Instruments
Demo tables: Infineon Technologies Sony Spresense Arduino

Thanks everyone! Be on the look for news on what is next in store for our Edge ML Series!!!

Meta is working on a new chip for AI — The Verge

It’s also working on a ‘next-generation data center design’ that’s optimized for AI.

Hi Nick,

Yes, the only connection is Chris Stevens left Syntiant to join us. When he left in 2022 he held the position VP of sales.

Received this email this morning. Just a refresher.

The Renesas RZ/V2L MPU is equipped with a Cortex®-A55
and that´s not BRN

I believe the next one will be in Tahiti

I am off sailing around Tahiti in Sept. Will scope a suitable venue!

 

[Food4 thought]

Wouldn’t be nice if we were involved with Apples new headsets
June 5 is there launch cost around 3k per set now that’s pushing the boundaries of affordability.

Hi guys, I thought I would let you all know that I asked Tony Dawe in an email about a few things the company has stated the last couple of years that I would like clarification on. But he would not let me share the correspondence with you guys here as it was a conversation between me and him. I found it interesting, but have chosen to respect his wishes for it to stay private.

Yes, I do mind.

“I would like my reply to remain private. It was written for you, because you asked me a question. Please do not share my reply with anyone.”

Regards

Tony

Non the less these where my questions:

1.” Explosive growth in sales” - what timeline are we talking when company stated that you are experiencing/expecting explosive growth in sales and what are you talking about? Is it sales of IP contracts? How is that going?

2. “Watch the next few quarterly financials to get a sense of where we are going”- paraphrased by our CEO Sean Heir he said something to the same effect. What timeframe is he talking about when he said watch the next few quarters? It sounded to me like we won’t see many announcements to keep track of Brainchips success rather watch the financials to track our progress. This is a bit concerning in light of our last Q results.

3. With the launch of Akida 2.0 which obviously is an improvement on AKD1.0, what will happen to all our 100+ NDAs and EAPs that have been engaged around AKD1.0? Are they still engaged with the company and are they switching their eyes to the next generation 2.0? Why haven’t we heard anything from our EAP or companies like Ford and Valeo who has been engaged with us for years?

Please help me understand to your best capacity.

I wrote this email as someone who has been invested in brainchip for over 6 years and feel I have the right as a share holder to ask these questions. I am not concerned and believe we are in a better position then we have ever been in, however the things I have mentioned has been a question mark to me and would like to know what is going on.

I encourage you to send Tony an email if you have any pressing worries or questions as he was promptly with his reply. Unfortunately as for-mentioned I can’t share his response with you.

I am glad you have chosen to honour his request.
Perhaps if you had stated up front in your initial inquiry that you wished to publish his response in a public forum such as this he may have phrased his reply to you in a more formal mode that he would have been more comfortable seeing shared?
I don't know of course, purely spitballing here.
