Confusing as it was assumed this was the tape-out connected with MCU 85.. But obviously what you’re saying is there’s a suite of them with variances that mean Akida is only in AI accelerator MCU 85 use cases..

$300k for CEO bonus for 2022 raised my eyebrows. Assume that was for an expanding ecosystem proliferation for BRN.. Time to consolidate those into actionable outcomes..

While we define and control our own hardware and software architecture, the integration of industry-leading technology provides our customers access to best-in-class services, content and features. Our key partners include NVIDIA which contributes with AI and automated driving systems expertise; Google for our next-generation navigation experience and cloud services, plus Microsoft and OpenAI, as featured in our recent ChatGPT beta programme, which enhanced our "Hey Mercedes" MBUX voice assistant.
…
We also launched a ChatGPT beta programme in the U.S. for more than 900,000 vehicles. That complements the existing Hey Mercedes voice control by leveraging a large-language model to massively improve natural language understanding, enhancing our validated data with the more natural dialogue format of ChatGPT.
It is reassuring to see Marcus talk about these partnerships as "enhancing" and "complementing" the existing "Hey Mercedes" functionality, ie, not replacing but expanding and broadening the existing "Hey Mercedes" functionality.

Hey,
I think I heard that Mercedes hasn't implemented Akida for now. Or did I miss something there? I also find it a pity to narrow down the chip's scope to just Mercedes. Akida has so many potential applications, so it wouldn't bother me much if Mercedes is not part of it. If other companies start demonstrating their success with Akida, they'll likely come on board automatically! Just my opinion.

But their existing MBUX doesn't use Akida and it is not clear to me that Akida is in the beta programme so I'm not sure what your point is but happy to be corrected (someone please correct me!).Marcus Ostberg (Mercedes Benz) posted about their AI partners Nvidia, Google, Open Ai, Microsoft and the fact that the partnerships "enhanced" their MBUX "Hey Mercedes" function.

This article really irritates me because it makes it sound like IBM and Intel are the leaders in the field and we are trailing along in third trying to keep up with them. We know nothing could be further from the truth. It amazes me that someone who believes they know enough to write an article about neuromorphic computing doesn't even know the basics of what the market looks like at the moment. Not happy.

Yep ... I agree we are way ahead of these guys!! But I suppose 'The big guys' get the first look everytime! :-( ( our day will come when we are dominating the headlines and they are still playing catch up ....!)This article really irritates me because it makes it sound like IBM and Intel are the leaders in the field and we are trailing along in third trying to keep up with them. We know nothing could be further from the truth. It amazes me that someone who believes they know enough to write an article about neuromorphic computing doesn't even know the basics of what the market looks like at the moment. Not happy.
We do get coverage all the same! and does say ....has solidified their position as a 'key leader' in this domain.

I missed the announcement that Akida will not be in the 2024 Mercedes, but here's a thought.
I always thought that 5 to 10 times improvement in energy efficiency for "Hey Mercedes" was well on the low side, so I went back to the announcement. or at least to SW-F's EETimes report for the EQXX:
“Working with California-based artificial intelligence experts BrainChip, Mercedes-Benz engineers developed systems based on BrainChip’s Akida hardware and software,” Mercedes noted in a statement describing the Vision EQXX. “The example in the Vision EQXX is the “Hey Mercedes” hot-word detection. Structured along neuromorphic principles, it is five to ten times more efficient than conventional voice control,” the carmaker claimed.
As has previously been discussed, the emphasized section indicates that more than one system incorporating BrainChip hardware or software has been developed. As I said, 5 to ten times improvement seems low for Akida SoC. But how about if they used the Akida simulation software (now rolled up in MetaTF). That way, they could just load it into some other processor, eg, Nvidia, and see how it went without having to get their soldering iron out. (The pinouts on these SoCs is a nightmare). It would still be better than other systems they'd tried, just not as good as Akida SoC. (A PCIe board or Raspberry Pi could have been provided to demonstrate the real capabilities of Akida). It would have been a lot of extraneous work to incorporate the Akida SoC into the hardware of the EQXX for a one-off demonstration.
After all, BrainChip was in the software business with BrainChip Studio 8 years or so ago.
The MetaTF Akida simulator is free for potential customers to try out Akida's functionality, albeit on a limited scale, but for a commercial use, BrainChip would be entitled to a licence fee.
Of course the BrainChip "software" could have included a key-word model library and all the configuration instructions in MetaTF, but Mercedes would have used the Akida simulation software in preliminary testing of the EQXX Hey Mercedes and the other "systems".
With the Akida simulation software, you can have your spikes and eat them too.
The foregoing would probably not apply to lidar detection and other data-heavy, real-time applications.
As long as they don't sell them soon... it's allllll gooooooooooood for now i guess
