Are you talking to your self.I've noticed the fervour and demands for validation both here and over on the crapper have kicked up a notch.
Thrashing themselves into a right old lather. Get it now deadbeat?
Why don't you reveal yourself to us here in the Tardie?
Afraid if you show yourself the Messiah will smite you?
Or is it just too cosy here in the shadows, cutting and pasting tidbits for your would be followers over there in hell.
Don't worry snookum's, I won't mention you again.
None of these Fear Uncertainty Doubt merchants are worth the oxygen or the key strokes.
That is the troll's game, engagement.
Either for cents per view or the weird little thrill as they rub themselves thinking about how they 'got ya'
Grow up FFS. No one is holding a gun to anyones head here.
We each of us, as adult individuals, have those three choices.
BUY, SELL, HOLD.
Make your choice and reap the rewards/ take the consequences.
But FFS, stop all the constant whining and whinging.
No one cares.
Not Sean or Antonio or PVDM or me.

I think it's fair to ask for validation that we can put akida into either an arm chip or a SiFive chip, and that that combination is cheaper than the arm or SiFive base chip with their respective vector processor.
Otherwise, aren't we in trouble?

This Tiny Sensor Could Be in Your Next Headset
Prophesee
Neuromorphic computing company develops event-based vision sensor for edge AI apps.
Spencer Chin | Oct 16, 2023
As edge-based artificial intelligence (AI) applications become more common, there will be a greater need for sensors that can meet the power and environmental needs of edge hardware. Prophesee SA, which supplies advanced neuromorphic vision systems, has introduced an event-based vision sensor for integration into ultra-low-power edge AI vision devices. The GenX320 Metavision sensor, which uses a tiny 3x4mm die, leverages the company’s technology platform into growing intelligent edge market segments, including AR/VR headsets, security and monitoring/detection systems, touchless displays, eye tracking features, and always-on intelligent IoT devices.
According to Luca Verre, CEO and co-founder of Prophesee, the concept of event-based vision has been researched for years, but developing a viable commercial implementation in a sensor-like device has only happened relatively recently. “Prophesee has used a combination of expertise and innovative developments around neuromorphic computing, VLSI design, AL algorithm development, and CMOS image sensing,” said Verre in an e-mail interview with Design News. “Together, those skills and advancements, along with critical partnerships with companies like Sony, Intel, Bosch, Xiaomi, Qualcomm,and others
Prophesse’s vision sensor is a 320x320, 6.3μm pixel BSI stacked event-based vision sensor that offers a tiny 1/5-in. optical format. Verre said, “The explicit goal was to improve integrability and usability in embedded at-the-edge vision systems, which in addition to size and power improvements, means the design must address the challenge of event-based vision’s unconventional data format, nonconstant data rates, and non-standard interfaces to make it more usable for a wider range of applications. We have done that with multiple integrated event data pre-processing, filtering, and formatting functions to minimize external processing overhead.”
Verre added, “In addition, MIPI or CPI data output interfaces offer low-latency connectivity to embedded processing platforms, including low-power microcontrollers and modern neuromorphic processor architectures.”
Low-Power Operation
According to Verre, the GenX320 sensor has been optimized for low-power operation, featuring a hierarchy of power modes and application-specific modes of operation. On-chip power management further improves sensor flexibility and integrability. To meet aggressive size and cost requirements, the chip is fabricated using a CMOS stacked process with pixel-level Cu-Cu bonding interconnects achieving a 6.3μm pixel-pitch.
The sensor performs low latency, µsec resolution timestamping of events with flexible data formatting. On-chip intelligent power management modes reduce power consumption to a low 36uW and enable smart wake-on-events. Deep sleep and standby modes are also featured.
According to Prophesee, the sensor is designed to be easily integrated with standard SoCs with multiple combined event data pre-processing, filtering, and formatting functions to minimize external processing overhead. MIPI or CPI data output interfaces offer low-latency connectivity to embedded processing platforms, including low-power microcontrollers and modern neuromorphic processor architectures.
Prophesee’s Verre expects the sensor to find applications in AR/VR headsets. “We are solving an important issue in our ability to efficiently (i.e. low power/low heat) support foveated rendering in eye tracking for a more realistic, immersive experience. Meta has discussed publicly the use of event-based vision technology, and we are actively involved with our partner Zinn Labs in this area. XPERI has already developed a driver monitor system (DMS) proof of concept based on our previous generation sensor for gaze monitoring and we are working with them on a next-gen solution using GenX320 for both automotive and other potential uses, including micro expression monitoring. The market for gesture and motion detection is very large, and our partner Ultraleap has demonstrated a working prototype of a touch-free display using our solution.”
The sensor incorporates an on-chip histogram output compatible with multiple AI accelerators. The sensor is also natively compatible with Prophesee Metavision Intelligence, an open-source event-based vision software suite that is used by a community of over 10,000 users.
Prophesee will support the GenX320 with a complete range of development tools for easy exploration and optimization, including a comprehensive Evaluation Kit housing a chip-on-board (COB) GenX320 module, or a compact optical flex module. In addition, Prophesee will offer a range of adapter kits that enable seamless connectivity to a large range of embedded platforms, such as an STM32 MCU, speeding time-to-market.

The internet has changed every aspect of our lives from communication, shopping, and working. Now, for reasons of latency, privacy, and cost-efficiency, the “internet of things” has been born as the internet has expanded to the network edge.
Now, with artificial intelligence, everything on the internet is easier, more personalized, and more intelligent. However, AI is currently confined to the cloud due to the large servers and high compute capacity it needs. As a result, companies like Hailo are driven by latency, privacy, and cost efficiency to develop technologies that enable AI on the edge.
Undoubtedly, the next big thing is generative AI. Generative AI presents enormous potential across industries. It can be used to streamline work and increase the efficiency of various creators — lawyers, content writers, graphic designers, musicians, and more. It can help discover new therapeutic drugs or aid in medical procedures. Generative AI can improve industrial automation, develop new software code, and enhance transportation security through the automated synthesis of video, audio, imagery, and more.
However, generative AI as it exists today is limited by the technology that enables it. That’s because generative AI happens in the cloud — large data centers of costly, energy-consuming computer processors far removed from actual users. When someone issues a prompt to a generative AI tool like ChatGPT or some new AI-based videoconferencing solution, the request is transmitted via the internet to the cloud, where it’s processed by servers before the results are returned over the network. Data centers are major energy consumers, and as AI becomes more popular, global energy consumption will rapidly increase. This is a growing concern for companies trying to balance between the need to offer innovative solutions to the requirement to reduce operating costs and environmental impact.
As companies develop new applications for generative AI and deploy them on different types of devices — video cameras and security systems, industrial and personal robots, laptops and even cars — the cloud is a bottleneck in terms of bandwidth, cost, safety, and connectivity.
And for applications like driver assist, personal computer software, videoconferencing and security, constantly moving data over a network can be a privacy risk.
The solution is to enable these devices to process generative AI at the edge. In fact, edge-based generative AI stands to benefit many emerging applications.
Generative AI on the rise
Consider that in June, Mercedes-Benz said it would introduce ChatGPT to its cars. In a ChatGPT-enhanced Mercedes, for example, a driver could ask the car — hands free — for a dinner recipe based on ingredients they already have at home. That is, if the car is connected to the internet. In a parking garage or remote location, all bets are off.
In the last couple of years, videoconferencing has become second nature to most of us. Already, software companies are integrating forms of AI into videoconferencing solutions. Maybe it’s to optimize audio and video quality on the fly, or to “place” people in the same virtual space. Now, generative AI-powered videoconferences can automatically create meeting minutes or pull in relevant information from company sources in real-time as different topics are discussed.
However, if a smart car, videoconferencing system, or any other edge device can’t reach back to the cloud, then the generative AI experience can’t happen. But what if they didn’t have to? It sounds like a daunting task considering the enormous processing of cloud AI, but it is now becoming possible.
Generative AI at the edge
Already, there are generative AI tools, for example, that can automatically create rich, engaging PowerPoint presentations. But the user needs the system to work from anywhere, even without an internet connection.
Similarly, we’re already seeing a new class of generative AI-based “co-pilot” assistants that will fundamentally change how we interact with our computing devices by automating many routine tasks, like creating reports or visualizing data. Imagine flipping open a laptop, the laptop recognizing you through its camera, then automatically generating a course of action for the day,week or month based on your most used tools, like Outlook, Teams, Slack, Trello, etc. But to maintain data privacy and a good user experience, you must have the option of running generative AI locally.
In addition to meeting the challenges of unreliable connections and data privacy, edge AI can help reduce bandwidth demands and enhance application performance. For instance, if a generative AI application is creating data-rich content, like a virtual conference space, via the cloud, the process could lag depending on available (and costly) bandwidth. And certain types of generative AI applications, like security, robotics, or healthcare, require high-performance, low-latency responses that cloud connections can’t handle.
In video security, the ability to re-identify people as they move among many cameras — some placed where networks can’t reach — requires data models and AI processing in the actual cameras. In this case, generative AI can be applied to automated descriptions of what the cameras see through simple queries like, “Find the 8-year-old child with the red T shirt and baseball cap.”
That’s generative AI at the edge.
Developments in edge AI
Through the adoption of a new class of AI processors and the development of leaner, more efficient, though no-less-powerful generative AI data models, edge devices can be designed to operate intelligently where cloud connectivity is impossible or undesirable.
Of course, cloud processing will remain a critical component of generative AI. For example, training AI models will remain in the cloud. But the act of applying user inputs to those models, called inferencing, can — and in many cases should — happen at the edge.
The industry is already developing leaner, smaller, more efficient AI models that can be loaded onto edge devices. Companies like Hailo manufacture AI processors purpose-designed to perform neural network processing. Such neural-network processors not only handle AI models incredibly rapidly, but they also do so with less power, making them energy efficient and apt to a variety of edge devices, from smartphones to cameras.
Utilizing generative AI at the edge enables effective load-balancing of growing workloads, allows applications to scale more stably, relieves cloud data centers of costly processing, and helps reduce environmental impact. Generative AI is on the brink of revolutionizing computing once more. In the future, your laptop’s LLM may auto-update the same way your OS does today — and function in much the same way. However, in order to get there, generative AI processing will need to be enabled at the network’s edge. The outcome promises to be greater performance, energy efficiency, security and privacy. All of which leads to AI applications that reshape the world just as significantly as generative AI itself.

When we do multi year sale tenders there is an audit involved and our customer examines our financial health to see if we are in a good financial position to provide the services and products we say.
It protects them from us going broke and them losing our service and be out money or products. So its kinda a standard practice.

At least that's my limited understanding of that technology (Hey Diogenese bags it..).
Although I don't think Rob likes posts "Willy Nilly' many probably have more to do with networking and building relationships, than anything else..
Which hopefully leads to something down the track.
Everyone talking about "revenue" and their corresponding disappointment with the lack of it clearly doesn't understand cash flow; or understand there is a cost associated with generating revenue. Relax, trust your research & due diligence and most of all understand your investment.

Happy New Year 2024!
And hey @CHIPS - you were actually a bit too early with your Chinese New Year greetings and animated Lion Dance GIF, as the 2024 Lunar New Year is not celebrated until Feb 10, marking the start of the Year of the Dragon
, the most auspicious of the twelve Chinese zodiac animals.
That being said, the Japanese already welcomed the Year of the Dragon on January 1st, as the Japanese zodiac, while historically based on its Chinese counterpart, is no longer following the lunar calendar, which was abandoned in 1872, and instead aligned its cycle to the Gregorian solar year. Thus the Japanese New Year is celebrated on Jan 1 like in the Western world. As you will probably all have seen on the news, this year’s holiday celebrations sadly turned somber when the Year of the Dragon that is supposed to bring luck and prosperity tragically started with two disasters - the 7.6 magnitude earthquake that hit a peninsula in central Japan as well as a large passenger plane and a coast guard aircraft colliding and catching fire on a runway at Tokyo’s Haneda Airport, killing five crew members of the coastguard plane which was carrying earthquake relief supplies.
A Japanese electronics company plagued by financial woes that must surely be hoping for an auspicious and prosperous Year of the Dragon is Sharp Corporation (partly-owned by Taiwanese electronics contract manufacturer Foxconn since 2016).
Could Sharp actually be one of the companies utilising Akida through Renesas?
The Osaka-based company that celebrates its 111th anniversary this year has a history with Renesas, including a joint venture in 2008, when the display driver IC business Renesas SP Drivers was established (see below), which was later acquired by touch sensor technology company Synaptics - that had beaten Apple to it - in 2014.
(Fun fact: Synaptics is one of about 20 companies founded by Caltech Professor Emeritus Carver Mead, who became known as the father of neuromorphic computing due to his seminal work in the late 1980s and also popularised the term “Moore’s Law”.)
Have a look at this recent Instagram post by Sharp:
Not only does their slogan “Experience the future of the five senses with Sharp at CES 2024!” have an Akidaish ring to it, some of the cutting-edge technologies they will showcase in Las Vegas (which were unveiled during SHARP Tech Day in Tokyo in November), do, too, although the actual term neuromorphic is never used: an AI Avatar acting as a virtual concierge and tour guide equipped with CE-LLM edge AI technology, an AI Olfactory Sensor (“this sensor imitates the sense of smell of living things”) presented in the form of a wine sensor (!), non-contact vital signs sensors and the world's smallest vital signs pulse wave sensors for wearable devices, groundbreaking XR camera technology (“A polymer lens camera that will be the “eye” of the AI world, which is capable of high-speed focus adjustment based on the same mechanism as the human eye”), a driver monitoring camera, high performance-low power consumption gadgets, a next-generation solar cell module for use in outer space…
Could we by any chance be involved?
Well, even in case we are, the Sharp booth at CES 2024 may not be where we shareholders will find out. As has been said numerous times before: Many companies utilising our tech one day will not promote their products as having “Akida Inside”, as much as we wish they would, especially if they don’t deal with Brainchip directly but through IP licensees such as Renesas or Megachips. We may indeed only find out by watching the financials…

And hey @CHIPS - you were actually a bit too early with your Chinese New Year greetings and animated Lion Dance GIF, as the 2024 Lunar New Year is not celebrated until Feb 10, marking the start of the Year of the Dragon
, the most auspicious of the twelve Chinese zodiac animals.That being said, the Japanese already welcomed the Year of the Dragon on January 1st, as the Japanese zodiac, while historically based on its Chinese counterpart, is no longer following the lunar calendar, which was abandoned in 1872, and instead aligned its cycle to the Gregorian solar year. Thus the Japanese New Year is celebrated on Jan 1 like in the Western world. As you will probably all have seen on the news, this year’s holiday celebrations sadly turned somber when the Year of the Dragon that is supposed to bring luck and prosperity tragically started with two disasters - the 7.6 magnitude earthquake that hit a peninsula in central Japan as well as a large passenger plane and a coast guard aircraft colliding and catching fire on a runway at Tokyo’s Haneda Airport, killing five crew members of the coastguard plane which was carrying earthquake relief supplies.
A Japanese electronics company plagued by financial woes that must surely be hoping for an auspicious and prosperous Year of the Dragon is Sharp Corporation (partly-owned by Taiwanese electronics contract manufacturer Foxconn since 2016).
Could Sharp actually be one of the companies utilising Akida through Renesas?
The Osaka-based company that celebrates its 111th anniversary this year has a history with Renesas, including a joint venture in 2008, when the display driver IC business Renesas SP Drivers was established (see below), which was later acquired by touch sensor technology company Synaptics - that had beaten Apple to it - in 2014.
(Fun fact: Synaptics is one of about 20 companies founded by Caltech Professor Emeritus Carver Mead, who became known as the father of neuromorphic computing due to his seminal work in the late 1980s and also popularised the term “Moore’s Law”.)
Have a look at this recent Instagram post by Sharp:
Not only does their slogan “Experience the future of the five senses with Sharp at CES 2024!” have an Akidaish ring to it, some of the cutting-edge technologies they will showcase in Las Vegas (which were unveiled during SHARP Tech Day in Tokyo in November), do, too, although the actual term neuromorphic is never used: an AI Avatar acting as a virtual concierge and tour guide equipped with CE-LLM edge AI technology, an AI Olfactory Sensor (“this sensor imitates the sense of smell of living things”) presented in the form of a wine sensor (!), non-contact vital signs sensors and the world's smallest vital signs pulse wave sensors for wearable devices, groundbreaking XR camera technology (“A polymer lens camera that will be the “eye” of the AI world, which is capable of high-speed focus adjustment based on the same mechanism as the human eye”), a driver monitoring camera, high performance-low power consumption gadgets, a next-generation solar cell module for use in outer space…
Could we by any chance be involved?
Well, even in case we are, the Sharp booth at CES 2024 may not be where we shareholders will find out. As has been said numerous times before: Many companies utilising our tech one day will not promote their products as having “Akida Inside”, as much as we wish they would, especially if they don’t deal with Brainchip directly but through IP licensees such as Renesas or Megachips. We may indeed only find out by watching the financials…

The company confirmed they‘re not. If they were they wouldn’t need this cap raise would they?

Where was this confirmed by the company?
This is poor and overly simplistic logic.
