All good things come in threes:

Here is yet another 2024 Embedded Vision Summit video clip by - you guessed it - Todd Vierra!

This time, our VP of Customer Engagement is demoing how TENNs fare way better than GPT-2 performing a sentence generation task - those of you who attended the AGM or watched it online will recognise this astounding demo:

“Demonstration of the Power of TENNs

BrainChip should get the catchword PoTENNs patented, even though it would be mean (as well as erroneous) to consequently diagnose the competition with ImPoTENNs. 😉

hashtag#MercedesBenz is reinventing the in-car digital experience by leveraging the power of artificial intelligence.

Navigation is one example. Today, more than three million customers around the world are using Google Place Details in their cars. Next year, with the advent of our new own Mercedes-Benz Operating System, MB.OS, we will take navigation to a new level with MBUX Surround Navigation.

Voice assistance also benefits from AI. Our upcoming hashtag#MBUXVirtualAssistant uses generative AI and advanced 3D graphics to make interactions more natural, intuitive and personalized.

None of these game-changing technologies would be possible without the skill and dedication from our team of talented engineers. So, it’s great to be able to announce that our MBUX Virtual Assistant technology has won the Automotive AI Product of the Year award from the ICA Summit 2024.👏

Recognition from the industry strengthens our focus and further underlines why hashtag#AI is at the heart of our software strategy
.


"Voice assistance also benefits from AI"

Mercedes has continually referred back to the "Hey Mercedes!" feature of the EQXX, noting that they continue to develop this feature.

They have decoupled hardware and software developments because the tech is in a state of flux, so using software allows them to implement new features (TeNNs) whereas silicon is not so pliable.

Dio...your earlier pick up on the software development being the current direction Mercedes is working on was a very good assessment
on your behalf, an announcement is pending from Mercedes, possibly around October, who knows, maybe Brainchip's name will to be
released to the market, similar to early 2022.

Appreciate your continued solid contribution to this forum, thank you....Tech (y)

I've just seen a weird anomaly on the Morningstar valuation of BRN
Just recently they've had us valued somewhere around 45c but today they have put us up to 53c which is a 17% increase in percieved value overnight. Not that I put any value in Morningstar valuations, but strange! So an increase as our buy price is dropping

@TECH @Diogenese

Isn't MB decision to go with software yet more proof that the IP Only licensing isn't working? Not even MB can go it alone, license the IP and manufacture the akida chips.

Would MB be going down the software route if Akida chips were available.

Isn't the whole notion of comparting ourselves with Arm completely unproven? Yes, companies will go and license IP for chips where similar chips are running a billion devices. But they will wait on someone else to make a chip that no one else has, and see it that works?

The MB story says one thing. Yes, we love the great technology. No we will not license Akida IP to put in chips.

Hi @Diogenese

Where did you get the article with TENNs from? I cannot find it in the quoted link. Was it deleted meanwhile or is it your opinion? :unsure:
It is a bit confusing.
Hi Chips,

I deduced that Mercedes has had access to TeNNs software for 2 years.

The TeNNs patent was filed in mid-2022. That made it possible for BRN to disclose the tech to EAPs, including Mercedes.

On Linkedin, Magnus has made repeated references to the software defined vehicle and splitting hardware and software developments, even making reference to "new software algorithms" specifically designed to work with neuromorphic hardware" and even "Hey Mercedes!" and controlling almost everything electronically with your voice.

He also explained that the adoption of automotive grade chips required extensive testing

"Widespread use of neuromorphic computing will depend on many factors. The technology requires new programming and algorithms, so it will not immediately replace traditional processors. One key factor for us is that automotive-grade chips must meet extremely strict reliability requirements. However, we are already actively working to drive development and we are committed to being the first to use this technology in the automotive industry."

Even if they don't have a contract to announce, I think an ann. to say we're taping out something would stop the rot.

Hi @CHIPS,

This is a collection of neuromorphic-related linkedin quotes from Magnus this year:

In neuromorphic computing, those human neurons and synapses are modelled in circuits and communication is event-driven, with information coded in spikes, mimicking the processing fundamentals of the brain. Those spikes propagate through a Spiking Neural Network of artificial neurons and synapses to predict results. Information processing is measured by spike rate or spike time instead of the number of calculations. Thus, neuromorphic chips are more energy efficient and have lower latency than conventional CPUs and GPUs. That means much faster computation using considerably less power.

However, this change in data processing also requires new software algorithms specifically designed to work with neuromorphic hardware. Existing algorithms can only partially leverage the many benefits of neural technology. ...

We at Mercedes-Benz AG are currently working on novel algorithms that take advantage of neuromorphic computing to improve the energy efficiency and performance of our cars. Our primary goals are to extend vehicle range, make safety systems react faster, and increase the number of hashtag#AI functions possible. In 2020, we already joined the hashtag#Intel Neuromorphic Research Community and since then we are continuously expanding our collaborations with other research partners and universities to ensure our software and hardware solutions continue to lead the industry.

Later he said:

The innovative 'Hey Mercedes' hashtag#MBUX Voice Assistant has been an enormous success for Mercedes-Benz AG, and we are continuously expanding its features. Last year we added a hashtag#ChatGPT AI beta programme in the U.S., and soon we will launch our MBUX Virtual Assistant based on a large language model (LLM) and generative AI.
... and then:

With our next hashtag#MBUXVirtualAssistant running on MB.OS, you will be able to control almost everything electronically with your voice using natural and fully interactive speech.

... and then:

Widespread use of neuromorphic computing will depend on many factors. The technology requires new programming and algorithms, so it will not immediately replace traditional processors. One key factor for us is that automotive-grade chips must meet extremely strict reliability requirements. However, we are already actively working to drive development and we are committed to being the first to use this technology in the automotive industry.

and then:

A combination of voice and imagery will provide a more natural, intuitive, personal and empathic way to communicate with the car. The MBUX Virtual Assistant will understand what you want and transfer those feelings and emotions into actions.


... and then:

Our digital and visual user interface between the vehicle systems and the customer, allowing them to control the vehicle comfort features and infotainment, including the AI-based MBUX Virtual Assistant, navigation and other applications.

decoupling the software and hardware innovation cycles, we can ensure our vehicles are constantly up to date.

and then:

. However, the design of MB.OS demands a different approach because we are decoupling the hardware and software innovation cycles and integration steps. This will make software development and integration much faster, and it also facilitates the constant flow of innovation into the vehicle, resulting in better products for our customers.

I wonder if Mercedes "working to drive development" of neuromorphic computing involves introducing Nvidia to the necessity of incorporating a SNN front-end to their automotive GPU?
