I’d love a little Akida droid R2D2 in the future which combines a stereo, drinks fridge, vacuum, projector, wifi, power bank etc.

Looking at how quickly the tech is progressing I won’t have long to wait!

I need one of those as an Esky to follow me round with my beers

And Valeo gets in on the act.

With July fast approaching we enter the downhill slope to Christmas, this in my opinion is the real start of our journey
with regards, AKD 1500 and AKD 2.0 being released from our foundry partners, tested and re-tested by Anil and his team
of engineers, released to our EAP's for their final evaluation before deals are done and dusted, we as a company have done
everything possible to accommodate these "potential clients", this pattern cannot continue whereby they need to evaluate
AKD 3.0....the time has come to accept what has been created here, get those designs completed and get production of products
underway, Intel, IBM and others aren't on the same page as us...commit, lets get this brilliant technology rolling !

If what was quoted in a recent email from Antonio to one of our forum members, well that really says it all, potential clients investing
millions in developing products with Akida IP embedded, how can we lose, we have already won, they love the technology, time will
simply prove me and others right.

Exciting 18 months ahead....love Brainchip x Tech

I'd hazard a guess it is driven around the hardware not so much SNN tech of their own imo.

If you search their site for neuromorphic there are no results but their solutions are around the hardware.

I've read other NASA papers and statements that 22nm FDSOI is what they prefer rad hardened.

They absolutely want neuromorphic processing but the radiation fries most hardware.

Maybe Alphacore are wanting to prove up the hardware and then NASA or whoever can implement the neuromorphic IP accordingly.

My thoughts anyway.

Helium Technology and ARM® Cortex®-M85 in AI and DSP | Renesas Electronics

Did you know that Renesas is the first to market the Arm® Cortex®-M85? In this two-part blog, we share how this powerhouse MCU can tackle complex AI and DSP use cases, which could not have been done by any prior, and the uplift impacts that leveraging Helium technology can have on the...

If AM likes it; I like it too!

It’ll be interesting to see if MB patents involve Akida.

Anil is normally very reserved. I have seen three separate acknowledgements on LinkedIn today.

Interesting video.
Great to get an insight into the nature of the evolving auto business and how innovative mindsets disrupt given opportunity and frozen mindsets can get left in the dust over time.
Thanks for sharing.

This is worth a listen for those that have time.

Very insightful (sometimes rambling) discussion about the current AI developments with Jim Keller who previously worked with Apple and AMD so I would consider him a thoughtful industry insider. He’s been in the game for 40 years so he know the tech, history and industry quite well!

His opinion is SNN won’t be successful But I’m hoping he is proven wrong there!

Perhaps because he’s the CEO of Tenstorrent?

Jim Keller has also been very, publicly, wrong, on quite a few occasions.

Hi @Dr E Brown and @MrNick I’m not saying he’s right.

I found a lot of his interview quite interesting and enlightening as I’m not in the industry so it’s nice to hear from thought leaders who are.

I’ve put my money where my mouth is and backing Brainchip however I respect others opinions. His disregard of SNN did seem to have more of a software focus so maybe he’s not up to date with Akida in particular; but I’m not knowledgable enough to disagree with him.

As most people in the industry he would have an agenda to push; but overall I enjoyed the interview.



Edit: I also liked how he discussed the fact that the larger companies such as Intel or Nvidia don’t necessarily have entitlement to the next big successful thing and said smaller start-ups can have wins too!

It seemed like Jim Keller was downplaying SNN's. Comparing neuromorphic computing to just another type of encoding method isn't exactly fair or particularly accurate I'd have thought. I would have liked to have seen him address the known benefits such as real-time on-chip learning and training, reduced latency, improved privacy and security, low power consumption, etc..

And, he came across a little disingenuously IMO when he said "It's not likely that interesting, but maybe.."

Not that interesting? Good luck telling that to our growing list of partners as well as Renesas and MegaChips who are in the process of making this technology widely available.

Interesting guy with an interesting and insightful take on how our minds work and the recent history of computing technology.
He poo poo's our spiking stuff as mere switches but that may just be bias built from his experience and personal narrative.
But I think he is worth a listen as he tries to distil his 40 years in the business into a prognosis of where we might be heading over the next 5 or so years. And I think he does it in a fairly genuine and honest way.
Thanks for sharing.

Aren't neurons essentially switches that have evolved with senses to be useful in the real world?

Sean said at the Understanding AI interview after the AGM that Data Centre businesses and AI at the Edge businesses would complement each other (as opposed to compete).
There will be some data suitable for Data Centre's and some for AI at the Edge, eg BRN. Both will co exist side by side.
As AI moves to IOT, Autos, Industrial machinery and Health a lot of the data will be more suitable for the Edge for reasons we all know about, latency, low power use, cost, privacy etc.
The above is what is holding us up........... the delay in demand for items that use the Edge. Its only a matter of time before demand becomes explosive.
The above is the only risk BRN faces IMO and that is the explosion in Edge demand happens well before our First mover advantage is used up.
I figure we have at least 2 years maybe more as the advantage.
As Sean said once business is on board they are on board for generations of products.
He also said in a decade BRN aim to be one of the few leaders in Edge business (or words to that effect).
Anyway the key is understanding is that Data Centers' and At the Edge busineses are not in competition. Even a lot of Analysts do not get that.

As I understand it we are starting at the edge because we didn't think there was much competition there and so it was seen as the fastest path to revenue. It is also a place to get recognition and establish ourselves, but I think our plan then involves us working backwards from the sensor towards the datacenter, over time, where our energy efficiency alone would make us valuable, let alone what further iterations of our tech may offer, particularly in the field of AI.
Hence our catch cry of ubiquity.
So yeah, for now we are happy to coexist and compliment each other's latent capabilities, but existing CNN tech is reaching its due by date, whereas we are just getting started.
