BRN Discussion Ongoing

[Cgc516]

I always have a thought that the company is working together with shorter to get some kind of return for doing this. There is no any other explanation for what is the CEO doing right now. I know it is sounds stupid. But just want to share.

I'll give you a tip. It doesn't just sound stupid ... it is.

Talk to me Esqy, how we lookin??
Oh and hey, how's things?

I dont post often, but watch alot (creepy sorry) Well, this i am excited about. I can see this iteration selling in volume. This is where BRN will see revenue to sustain their higher goals of umbiqutous AI (in my opinion).

How long it takes to sell? 1 day, 10 years?

But hoping, this was requested by an interested party that make headphones, hearing aids or cameras etc and discussions are well advanced (in my opinion).

Event based (high security, low power), wake up device, noise reduction, biomed. It has so many applications. I wouldn't be surprised if this is just the release date and will be followed by some quick fire contract signings (in my opinion).

I always use a good friend's business analogy. Back in the 90s he had a juice kiosk stand at a university. Great business plan and well researched. He was going bankrupt though and not selling juices (much like you would see at a boost juice). Anyway they decided to sell coffee as well. They became successful overnight with long lines for their coffee (the coffee dependancy in australia had just started to kick in). Many new kiosks openned since, but now, they have gone back to selling juices because that is more popular. Its all about the right product at the right time, in the right place at the right price (basics of marketing).

I believe we are ahead of the market with our akida 2.0. It's a game changing product, but the market is not ready for such a monumental shift (in my opinion). The pico will give BRN a chance to get their name out there and prove themselves in lower risk settings. Aiming for self driving cars and data centres should always be the aim. But this is a smart move.

DYOR.

... but there is a slightly longer time to market ...

Good Afternoon HarryCool1 ,

Have not been at my computers , so lacking all the loose parameters / metrics which generally go into my price guidance......... predictions.

BUT.... the new PICO AKIDA should be an absolute ball tearer, absolute no brainer for any up and coming company to integrate on a new fangled product , if not already.
When the larger Company's will pull their head out and start implementing is anyone's guess.

Going for a STONKING GREEN FINNISH today.

* pressently doing gabian cage work , bit like Bravo , seems to be working.

Regards,
Esq.

Thank you.... And keep going!

Multiple websites are now promoting this news

What I want to know is...

View attachment 70211

How is AKIDA Pico, different from AKIDA-E ?
(both based on AKIDA 2.0 IP)

I'm guessing it's obviously smaller again?
But AKIDA-E is already from "1" node?..

Is this BrainChip going for the "low hanging fruit" ?..

Hi DB,

A node has 4 NPUs.

https://brainchip.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/BrainChip_second_generation_Platform_Brief.pdf

So that leaves open the possibility of, say, 1, 2 or 3 NPUs. Also the data can be recirculated through the nodes for additional processing if the first pass was insufficient to obtain classification/inference.

OK,

So they have used a single NPE (nee NPU).

"Single neural processing engine
Minimal core for TENNS"

I had assumed that the Akida NN would need at least 2 NPEs, but TENNS can run in a single NPE???!!!!

That is truly astonishing.

... and it does not need a microprocessor????!!!!!

https://www.epdtonthenet.net/articl...ion-for-Resource-Constrained-Deployments.aspx

This IP relies on the Akida2 event-based computing platform configuration engine as its foundation, meaning that the data quantities needing to be dealt with are kept to a minimum. Consequently only a small logic die area is required (0.18mm x 0.18mm on a 22nm semiconductor process with 50kBytes of SRAM memory incorporated), plus the associated power budget remains low (with <1mW operation being comfortably achieved). It can serve as either a standalone device (without requiring a microcontroller) or alternatively become a co-processor.

It's a self-contained package that sets the benchmark for low power.

Looks like a lot of capability packed into the little thing.. (from it's power use standpoint).

The product line, is really starting to stack up and fill the niches..

Tony Lewis has made the statement, or close to it of..
"Can we scale up is the big question"
In reference to data centers?..

A development in that area, will really round things out..

Please don't get us confused ..

For the sake of clarification, this is a picture of an NPU from the Akida patent:

It was you calling me "DK" I was talking about, Diogenese

You don't ever leave me confused, about technical issues ..

 

[Draed]

At least if there is a speeding ticket BRN could say "hey we released information today on social media and it was obviously price sensitive, but you've wrapped us on the knuckles in the past for ramping, so F you asx".
