Guys anybody knows if the mercedes deal is still on and if yes when is it ..next year?
Caught up with Sean immediately after the AGM.
His response was the same a before.
It is imminent. Watch the financials.

The Brainchip website does say it supports Linux 6.1..

But what about..

"For example, the machine uses passive heat dissipation entirely from heat sinks, which saves power, stability, cost, and silence compared to active electric fans"

I thought they did end up adding a fan, or is that just a vent?

I recall an earlier version had 4 holes in a fan shaped arrangement and the first images we saw, of the Edge Box, had no openings at all?..

Hi DingoBorat,

I think I know exactly what you mean by four holes in a fan-shaped arrangement - this is what you are looking for, right?

Strangely, in all the online shop pictures of the Edge AI Box as well as in those featured on the product brief, that “mysterious” side - which is the one to the left of the LED lights - is always hidden from view:

However, if you go to https://brainchip.com/embeddedworld/, you will find two videos about the VVDN Edge AI Box that show a 360 degree view - et voilà!


CCBE8F91-B9AB-4271-8DEE-F013A752A3A8.jpeg














To be honest, I am unsure why our company is seemingly trying to avoid drawing attention to that side. According to the translation of the Chinese article @Fullmoonfever posted yesterday and also according to a Hackster.io article I found (see below), our Edge AI Box has a passive heatsink, which I take to mean it is fanless? Why not flaunt this attribute, then? 🤔

To be fair, though, nowhere do the specifications on the BrainChip website mention “passive heatsink” or “fanless” nor did Todd Vierra resp. Rob Telson use those terms or similar in the above videos, and neither did Nandan Nayampally, when he talked about the Edge AI Box in an interview a few weeks before he left. So maybe that specific piece of information in those two articles is incorrect - possibly a misunderstanding copied by several other writers?
And what looks like a fan is exactly that - a fan?

I'm somewhat confused, in regard to Edge Boxes.

Do we have the Brainchip " edge box " and the VVDN " edge box " i.e 2 separate functional devices, or are they one and the same device, but with distinctive branding, i.e. Brainchip " akida " Edge Box and VVDN " akida " Edge Box.

Please resolve this dilemma for me. Life at times, "on the edge" is just so hard to understand, 🙄;)

An early response, will improve the start to this day, immeasurably. TIA

Yes, good work Frangipani 👍
I did try searching the Net for an image (one of my 2 min searches) and came up dry, I figured they must have "scrubbed" it..

I think, it just comes down to "vanity" as it's not an "attractive" angle..

I thought the slated vent, was the "new iteration" but it has both..

In the downloadable product brief, on our website, it does say that the enclosure has a "heat sink" and you would think that "fan cooled" would be mentioned in that section?

20240709_080908.jpg

Nvidia, seems to want to "shout" the fact that their DFI X6-MTH-ORN Edge Box is fanless (I personally question how well they will go with that, the Net seems to be full, of third party cooling solutions, for their Jetson Orin..).


It could just be a fact, of us not selling ourselves, as well as we could, like that Infineon guy noted?..

Was just about to go to bed, when I saw this video on YouTube, recorded on July 4th. Quickly scrolled through the slides and screenshotted some, but haven’t listened to the whole Webinar, which was jointly hosted by the Centers for Cybersecurity and AI Research and the School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at the University of North Dakota College of Engineering and Mines…

Dr. Venkata Sriram Nadendla from Missouri S&T was presenting on
EEG based SNNs for Braking Intent Detection on Neuromorphic Hardware

Wow, another Ann regarding staff. If it's not staff coming or going, staff selling shares or wanting freebies we get nothing. Sean's interpretation of near future and iminent are way different to mine. I understand it takes time but they have had time and plenty of it.
Dissapointment rant over.

The man will be retiring in a few months but will remain in an advisory position. The bashers, or rather the basher (since it's only one person with multiple accounts like T&J aka t-ball aka the Dean, etc.), has nothing better to do than to continue spreading his fundamentally negative attitude. 😂 I wish I hadn't unsubscribed there... then they would be on my ignore list and I wouldn't notice! Sorry for posting it here too... but a trouble shared is a trouble halved 😂

I feel like the Founders know that they have completed their mission and happy to retire knowing that all is well and in good hands.
Not long to wait now!
Same thoughts here! Would you stay in an advisor position if you would know they will not succeed ? No of course not…

Bravo

If ARM was an arm, BRN would be its biceps💪!
This is interesting. Softbank plans to unleash the potential of space-based technologies like satellite communications...

Whilst there is no mention of neuromorphic computing per se, we know that ESA and ISL are investigating the use of neuromorphic processors for AI/ML power and mass/volume optimisation in space. Obviously satellites have limitations, but technologies like edge processing and cognitive radio can optimize these limited communication resources.

The article describes Softbank's collaboration with OneWeb. And, intriguingly Nandan Nyampally liked a Linkedin Post from Relativity Space announcing a Launch Services Agreement between OneWeb and Relativity Space (see screenshot below article). And Relativity Space also work closely with NASA.

So, it maybe worth keeping an eye (or a thousand) on this for future developments.

Extending AI innovation to the edge​

With AI at the epicenter of innovation today, bringing AI into Industry 4.0 has become a powerful solution to existing challenges that have plagued businesses. From plant automation and predictive maintenance in manufacturing to delivering hyper-personalized shopping experiences in retail, edge AI offers a range of possibilities and encourages innovation across industries.
For one, edge AI brings speed and agility to the table: being able to analyze and act on data—at the source and in real-time—is a game changer for many. Removing the process of sending packets of data back to the data center for processing lowers latency. This, in turn, enables more efficient operations, quicker decision-making, and improved responsiveness. It is therefore unsurprising that 89% of industry leaders already have or will have a strategy around AI edge in the next two years.

Overcoming the complexities of genAI in edge computing

AI deployment poses as many complexities as there are benefits. Whether it is limitations around computational resources, network connectivity, scalability, and integration, successful edge AI implementation requires deep industry collaboration and expertise.
To help brands extract more value from data at the edge, Dell Technologies developed a range of edge solutions to streamline operations and generate insights where and when needed. In partnership with Microsoft, NVIDIA, and ServiceNow, Dell Technologies introduced Dell NativeEdge, an edge operations software platform that is made to simplify edge operations in a secure environment. As a full-stack virtualized solution at the edge, Dell NativeEdge streamlines the development, deployment, and scaling of AI applications.

Simplifying AI application deployment at the edge

Dell NativeEdge centralized edge management across locations to automate and streamline operations at scale, offering a flexible deployment environment with an open design. Its multicloud connectivity capabilities and zero-trust security let enterprises securely power any edge application from wherever they are. This offers a great level of flexibility while keeping data at the source.
More recently, Dell Technologies released Dell NativeEdge 2.0, with enhancements to its existing NativeEdge capabilities. These enhancements include blueprints that simplify and accelerate the orchestration of independent software vendor (ISV) licensing and AI applications. With the ability to run across hybrid environments, edge applications can be managed and deployed beyond the Dell Technologies infrastructure, giving organizations more flexibility and choice.
Blueprints play a critical role as they help define application settings, network configurations, and custom workflows and scripts required for their edge solution in a single file. With this, enterprises can then deploy that solution blueprint using a single command across various edge devices without needing to be physically present at those locations.

Building on strong partnerships for future-forward solutions

Dell NativeEdge is the first edge orchestration platform that automates the delivery of NVIDIA AI Enterprise, an end-to-end software platform that develops and deploys production-grade applications. Now, NVIDIA AI Enterprise customers can quickly deliver their NVIDIA AI frameworks including NVIDIA NIM, to deliver powerful gen AI use cases across their edge applications.
When combined, both Dell NativeEdge and NVIDIA AI Enterprise will revolutionize edge AI technology and transform field level operations. As enterprises scale their edge environments quickly and securely, they can better optimize investments to improve overall efficiency.
