BRN Discussion Ongoing

[Kachoo]

I meant if it is new in the twitter profile.

50% up would make me happy for a day or two and then never going down again and slowly moving up every day (like 1% each day) would be great. Digimarc Corporation could do all this for us. They even work in Germany already for Netto (4300 supermarkets in Germany!) and its plastic recycling as well as hidden marks on each Netto private label on the shelf.

"Digimarc Recycle is expected to launch soon in France and Canada, with conversations ongoing in other countries around the globe."

Just imagine Akida in every recycling machine all over the world , but starting with Germany would be fine too.
This certainly would make me sleep with a constant smile every night

Are they related to circle 8 ? We have this growing in Australia.

I doubt it. I can't find a connection.
I hope not, it is better to have two customers than just one

 

[Frangipani]

Absolutely agree - Tony Lewis was an excellent choice as CTO, as he is so well connected and respected in the neuromorphic community!

I recall Ralph Etienne-Cummings referring to him in another Brains & Machines podcast. The two of them go back a long way, by the way…

Just some examples:

When posting about the recent Brains & Machines podcast with Amirezza Yousefzadah, one of my comments was:

Sounds like we can finally expect a future podcast episode featuring someone from BrainChip?

Bingo! So at the time the podcast with Elisa Donati was recorded, Sunny Bains was planning to meet up with our CTO before or after NICE 2024, which means sometime next week! Let’s keep our fingers crossed that this prospective visit of hers will work out and lead to an intriguing podcast episode…

TSMC Will Have An AI Business Bigger Than All Of Intel Foundry

Everyone is in a big hurry to get the latest and greatest GPU accelerators to build generative AI platforms. Those who can’t get GPUs, or have custom

www.nextplatform.com

TSMC has been very clear that the N3 node will be a very important volume product for a long time, and it is interesting that Nvidia chose to not use it when Apple did for its smartphone chips and both AMD and Intel are going to with their future CPUs. Apple is reportedly eating all of TSMC’s N3 capacity for its homegrown, Arm-based smartphone and Mac PC processors. It looks to us like Nvidia is hanging back on the N3 process as Apple helps TSMC work out the kinks in this somewhat troublesome 3 nanometer process, and we assume that Apple will also be in the driver’s seat with TSMC’s N2 2 nanometer nanosheet transistor process, which will be seeing real competition from a credible 18A process from Intel Foundry in 2025. But TSMC has been clear that it think its enhanced 3 nanometer process, called N3P, will be able to go up against Intel’s 18A.



The rumor is that most of the $15 billion in advanced bookings over many years that Intel Foundry has on the books are for Arm server chips and AI training and inference chips that Microsoft is building for its own use and for that of partner OpenAI. And with national security flag waving as well as the practicalities of needing a second source for chip suppliers among all chip designers, we think that Intel might be low-balling its aspirations of having $15 billion a year in external foundry revenues by 2030, and we can see the internal Intel product groups for chips in PCs and servers to drive maybe $25 billion in additional foundry revenues. That’s $40 billion, and who knows how profitable Intel Foundry will be.

Media Alert: BrainChip Highlights the 2nd Generation Akida at tinyML Summit 2024

LAGUNA HILLS, Calif., April 18, 2024--Media Alert: BrainChip Highlights the 2nd Generation Akida at tinyML Summit 2024

au.finance.yahoo.com

"BrainChip leads the market in Neuromorphic IP, which allows our customers to build very low energy AI devices at the edge.

Neuromorphic technology excels at the edge where most workloads are streaming workloads where each individual frame of data is highly correlated with the previous," said Tony Lewis, CTO of BrainChip.

"We can take advantage of these correlations to dramatically reduce our power requirements. In contrast, cloud-based AI has evolved an ecosystem of hardware optimized for non-correlated workloads.

We feel that we will have an advantage over other companies who merely try to enable cloud computation at the edge. At the edge, you have to rethink hardware from the ground up. This is what BrainChip has done."

Nice one.

So since they are showcasing as quote:

At the summit, Chris Jones, Senior Product Manager at BrainChip, will present Akida’s enhanced features, including the ability to learn efficiently on extremely small form factor devices, head pose and emotion classification, all done in real-time without cloud connectivity. Company executives will be on hand to offer a presentation and demonstrate the attributes of some of the sustainable and efficient AI solutions leveraging the Akida IP.
As part of its exhibition, BrainChip will showcase their latest iteration of Akida technology that enables more advanced, more capable, and more accurate AI. In combining NVISO Group AI Human Behavioral Software and BrainChip’s Akida neuromorphic compute, the resulting system monitors the state of the users through real-time perception and observation of head and body pose, eye tracking and gaze, as well as indicates emotion reasoning.

Does that mean that they have a real Gen2 chip(s) at hand for the presentation or merely simulating?

We were told BRN pulled out of poducing an Akida 2 SoC because we didn't want to step on "someone's" toes.

Now we are doing a pas de deux with Nviso.

Out of 17 business-related items on Nviso's News page, 4 relate to BRN, starting from 19/4/2022:

The key interoperability milestone was announced 3 months after the Nviso/Brainchip partnership was announced. That is an indication that the technologies fit like a hand in a glove.


There are several other Nviso partnerships mentioned:

Panasonic, Interior Monitoring Systems, Siemens, Unith, Privately SA.

I'm guessing Nviso is handling these partnerships with kid gloves.

Nviso list healthcare, Consumer Robots, Automotive Interiors, and Gaming as their fields of interest.

Nviso's patent relates to a software-implemented CNN method, so Akida would have been a revelation.

So did BRN hold off on Akida2 SoC at Nviso's behest? - Highly improbable because Nviso is software-based.

So who(m?)?

This is worth a read.
It talks about a deferral. (They had problems in March 2023 and later announced a change of management)
Could this be the deferral that SH spoke about? Although I'm not sure Nviso had the readies but YPB has.
Nviso's technology is used by Panasonic.

Looks like YPB had a shitty 2023 according to their end of year Annual report....
And this didn't help

One-Two Punch of Wireless and PLC Set to Transform IIoT

Semitech Semiconductor Supports PLC/RF Hybrid Mesh to Maximize Coverage and Improve Connectivity in Challenging Industrial IoT Environments...

www.globenewswire.com

MELBOURNE, Australia, April 09, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Picture it: a bustling manufacturing plant where every machine, every process, and every component seamlessly communicates to optimize operations. In this scenario, a predictive maintenance system powered by the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) detects a subtle anomaly in a critical piece of machinery, well before it escalates into a costly breakdown. Instantly, an alert is sent to the maintenance team, who then remotely access the machine's diagnostic data, pinpoint the issue, and schedule a maintenance intervention – all without disrupting production.

The benefits of IIoT cannot be overstated. When implemented effectively, IIoT ecosystems can improve efficiency, productivity and transparency, encompassing everything from optimizing business processes and resource deployments to scheduling predictive maintenance and dynamically reacting to local changes – all in real-time.

As technology continues to evolve, the adoption of PLC and wireless hybrid networks is expected to grow, unlocking new possibilities and driving innovation across industries. With its pioneering support for the first industry hybrid mesh standard and highly reliable, scalable, flexible solutions, Semitech is paving the way for smarter, more efficient IIoT applications.

Yet again, top class articles...thanks from me personally....your efforts researching completes a nice circle when included with all the
other fantastic contributors on this site, it's so much calmer when dominating personalities and egos aren't totally disrupting the
flow, both negative and positive comments are welcomed as long as some factual research backs up what is stated as fact, if that
makes sense.

That's my view anyway...

Oh I agree have 2 customers is better. When others see this product then more will come just takes time even if we Akida all the world garbage bins only it be billions lol.

This is for the better of the human race proper garbage sorting and recycling!
