BrainChip, which offers neuromorphic processing technology for high-efficiency machine learning and artificial intelligence (ML and AI) at the edge, has announced that it will be opening pre-sales for its Akida Edge Box — the "industry's first edge box powered by neuromorphic AI IP" — in January next year, following a demonstration at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) 2024.
“BrainChip's neuromorphic technology gives the Akida Edge box the 'edge' in demanding markets such as industrial, manufacturing, warehouse, high-volume retail, and medical care," claims BrianChip's chief executive officer Sean Hehir of the company's impending launch. "We are excited to partner with an industry leader like VVDN technologies to bring groundbreaking technology to the market."

"There is a strong demand for cost-effective, flexible edge AI computation across many industries," adds VVDN Technologies co-founder and chief executive officer Puneet Agarwal, whose company partnered with BrainChip to bring the Akida Edge Box to life. "VVDN is excited to offer OEMs [Original Equipment Manufacturers] its experience and expertise in bringing the advanced, transformative technology integrations that meet market needs and eventually help them with faster time to market.”
BrainChip showed off the original brain-inspired Akida neuromorphic processing concept at the Linley Fall Processor Conference back in 2019, refining the ecosystem over the next two years before the public launch of development kits built around compact Intel and Raspberry Pi computing systems.
In January last year the company announced full commercialization followed by a partnership with Edge Impulse to make Akida more accessible, and in October this year placed Akida 2.0 in "early access" as what Hehir claimed was a "significant step in BrainChip’s vision to bring unprecedented AI processing power to edge devices, untethered from the cloud."
The company has not yet shown off the Akida Edge Box, but had already launched development kits built around compact PCs and SBCs. (![]()

Technical details of the Akida Edge Box have not yet been disclosed, but the device is likely to take the form of a small form factor or single-board computer coupled with one or more of the company's Akida or Akida 2.0 neuromorphic processing units. This, the company says, will offer support for "cost-effective and low-latency" on-device artificial intelligence workloads like visual detection, patient monitoring, security and surveillance, and manufacturing.
BrainChip and VVDN Technologies plan to formally unveil the Akida Edge Box at the Consumer Electronics Show 2024 in Las Vegas between January 9-12 2024 with a live demo, after which it will go up for pre-order ahead of an unspecified launch date. More information on the company's technology is available on the BrainChip website.
I think that as Akida 2.0 was announced in March and the IP was made available as early access in October, they would most likely be using Akida 2.0 in their design.@DingoBorat @Taproot
Most likely correct hence my thinking emoji in my post.
However we know Gen 2 available to early adopters Q3, VVDN Ann was beginning of Sept and no doubt we would have been working with them prior you'd think in developing the EB.
Personally I'd like it to be the Gen 2 as what better way to showcase our latest tech with ViT, TENNS at the premier tech event in CES with essentially our first commercially available off the shelf consumer / business product.
Wishful thinking maybe though.

AKIDA 2.0 is available, but there hasn't been an announcement of a physical AKD2000 reference chip being produced..@DingoBorat @Taproot

Can’t remember at what time point but Sean specifically says the edge box contains akd1000, the chip we had made and have stock of. At this point there’s no akd2000 reference chip ie “hardware” no doubt that will come in the future.

At this stage in BRN development, I really think the most important thing to be doing is to benchmark this box against the other better name brand edge boxes like Nvidia and Qualcomm. There need to be comparisons made between the different edge boxes in like for like situations.
So that clear benchmarking can be defined, which can be turned into marketing gold. Less Power, smaller more compact device, with less components ie ( fans )., making the device instantly " greener " and more environmentally friendly. Then technical and performance benchmarks in like for like comparisons. We need to show that BRN / Neuromorphic / Akida is a better option / choice, and we need to clearly define why this is so. Unless Brainchip can show on paper and in real life demonstrations why this product can outperform the competition in clearly defined and understandable benchmarks, then consumers will continue to purchase the name brands every time. Lets hope that VVDN and Brainchip have a great presentation lined up for Jan 12 +
Looks, very impressive to me, the uninitiated " clever dick - sometimes " learner, one.
Dodgy Ness. It's a good time now for you to put some thoughts together, to explain what this edgybox ( The Akida Ballista one ) is, i.e. so that I, and other " not so techy understandy " individuals can grasp this Technology in more detail. It appears to be a capable device, I think !! Perhaps you could explain why and how it is, and it's significance in terms of it's usage and it's current and future applications.
At this time, my head is a bit hurty trying to understand, " what's going on ( pretty similar to the the " Black box " ( that in actual fact is orange in colour in my understanding ) invention some years ago now ), here in Australia. Still not sure what and how that device works. Will this " edgebox " be a game changer at all, now and into the future, and could it improve/replace the " black box " in any way ?.
These questions/thoughts are open to all on this forum, so that I/others can become aware of what this device " edgebox " is designed to achieve, to enable us all to understand it's usefulness, moving forward.
And what could sales of this device bring realistically. I have other questions in regard to this, but they can wait until I've got my head around this edgebox device first.
TIA......

“Operators won’t need to explore technical catalogues or complex API descriptions when they configure networks. Instead, a simple statement like ‘Optimize the network at X location for Y service’ will work. Those requests could be used to configure a wireless network in a factory for robot automation or optimize networks at a concert for a barrage of social media uploads”
“Natural-Language Networks offer a sneak peek into one of the many capabilities of UNEXT. Reducing the complexity of network management fits squarely with UNEXT’s goal of extending the reach of networked systems by breaking down barriers that prevent those systems from interoperating”
