BRN Discussion Ongoing

[Frangipani]

"...Rohde & Schwarz..."

I never thought I would 'say' that. Maybe Brainchip should be represented in some way at every military trade fair?
Even if they're just handing out business cards.
In the automotive sector here, one piece of horror news follows the next. The industry is on the brink of collapse and there is little room for complicated innovations when conventional and cheaper technology does the job. I think with automation it could be similar.
I think the military sector is very different at the time and any innovation is welcome?

And the big ones with their data centers solve their problems the old-fashioned way - simply more electricity and nuclear power plants.

Maybe I'm a bit naive.

Hi @cosors,

while you’re right that Rohde & Schwarz do a lot of business with the military, that’s not all they do:

Hi @Bravo,

since my original post got moderated, here is a new one.

Care to enlighten us why you were spreading rumours about me on Saturday when you posted this, falsely alleging that I were the single individual behind both the @BrainShit and the @Frangipani usernames, which is totally untrue?

For the record: I do not have any other user account besides this one with the handle @Frangipani.

You don’t appear to be happy that our fellow TSE member @BrainShit dared to fully agree with my personal point of view that Mercedes-Benz is nowhere near to implementing neuromorphic computing at scale into serial cars, so how about you share your thoughts on the numerous points I raised in a factual manner, just like I did when you asked me about the MB quote in Sally Word-Foxton’s September 2022 article the other day.

Thank you in advance!

 

[MDhere]

I can understand shareholders are very frustrated and I'm not sure if these people frequent tsex, but can i just say, this does not help anyone.

If you need to voice your frustration, do it in a private message or via email, not on their posts on LinkedIn / social media .

Not a good look.

Imo.

Agree. On my trip back from uk to Australia i listened to a few a.i. podcasts ( will try and find them, wrote stuff down on my phone but having trouble readingmy writing atm lol) anyway in one of podcast a very successful company (will find which one) mentioned they didn't plan their business model for shareholders they planned it for success.

Now if anyone understands this it means the company was setting it up to succeed and not focusing on what timeline a shareholder is on.

So my view is this, we are a small number of passionate shareholders but that's just it we are a small number, sure our timelines might be different but if a Company has the right team, the right product and there goal is to succeed and for their clients to also prosper its reasonable to consider that shareholders will prosper as well.

I think the Company that mentioned the above about not focusing on shareholder's but success was Anazon. But i will fimd the podcasts. Found them very interesting and it opened my ears a bit to what is the success and is it more important then fretting over shareholders right now? i came to the conclusion that success will equal shareholder satisfaction not the other way around.

Hi Frangipani,

do you really think you'll get an answer? Bravo did a mistake and I think we should leave it by that. Bravo wrote me an clerification message two days ago... I think next time he/she will think twice before writing ....

Hi Frangipani,

It was a joke. Brainshit had accidentally posted your response to me twice, which is why I jokingly posted about there being no need to repeat himself. I deleted the post when I realised that this type of humour might be misinterpreted, which is what I explained in my message to Brainshit.

That’s really all there is to it.

 

[Pom down under]

Expecting to see quite a few announcements over the coming month giving away the normal free shares as it has been very quite recently on this front. I wonder why

 

[Pom down under]

What I’m trying to say is that our time will come eventually but it’s going to take longer than what we all would want. I remain optimistic but have also lowered my expectations.

One day we will get to go in @Bravo hot tub

 

[rgupta]

Because you are trying to protect your investment, and commenting in that manner in public on the companies posts, achieves the opposite.

I donot want to compromise just because it is against my interests. End of the day it is either black or white.

Hi BrainShit,

thank’s for letting me know. Sadly, she didn’t write me a private clarification message, even though she had alleged I were the user who had a secret second account and a hidden agenda.

Anyway, I’m curious to hear her thoughts about MB.

I don't think Qualcomm's customers would welcome a technology / architecture change so easy. All products would have to be re-developed, adapted, implemented and retested*... we're at the same point with Akida. Guess why no product is out there and we got just research- / evaluation projects? Except the beacon from ANT61 and the Cup cake from Unigen... but these are just single and small unit solutions.

Slight correction, by the way: To the best of my knowledge, Akida is only part of ANT61’s Brain (sadly now floating around somewhere in space) and not integrated into their Beacon.

brainchip.com

And did you by any chance mix up the Unigen Cupcake Edge AI Servers with the Akida VVDN Edge AI Boxes which are now finally being sent out to those customers who had preordered (and fully paid for) them months ago?

I believe there is still no Unigen Cupcake Edge AI Server with an Akida configuration available for purchase? And possibly Unigen’s strategy is manufacture-by-demand (similar to what I suspect has happened with regards to the VVDN Edge AI Boxes), so they might call for pre-orders to gauge sentiment before producing the first batch?


Hence I guess my July posts on that topic (see below) still pretty much hold true.

Except that on https://buyzero.de/en/products/cupcake-ai-server there is now a second option besides Hailo (currently in stock) to select an AI accelerator from the dropdown menu, namely one by Blaize (which is marked as sold out, though).

Interesting: While Unigen’s offering continues to be marketed as the Cupcake AI Server resp. Cupcake Edge AI Server on the buyzero.de website…

… it is weirdly listed as “Cupcake (no AI)” on the actual Unigen website these days:

Is that so because the Unigen Cupcake only magically turns into an AI Server once you have selected an AI accelerator configuration (see “ordering information”)?

Or will the future Akida Cupcake one day be listed as Cupcake (AI)?

Hold your horses! As far as I can tell, there is no Unigen Cup Cake Edge AI Server with an Akida configuration on the market, yet.

The dropdown menu on https://buyzero.de/en/products/cupcake-ai-server only lets you select the Hailo AI Accelerator configuration so far, which is, however, marked as “sold out”:

And on the Unigen website itself, the product brief doesn’t even list Akida as a selectable AI Module, yet:

Unigen’s Cupcake Edge AI Server delivers a reliable, high-performance, low-latency, low-power platform for Machine Learning and Inference AI.

Unigen did already include the Akida AI option in the February 2024 Cupcake User Guide, though:

Welcome to the Future of AI

There is something odd about the Pico chip, as described in the brochure. The die size, at 22nm, is shown as 0.18mm2. This is a dust mite. Surely they mean 1.8mm square. Still tweezer and loupe small, but manageable. I would like to see a blown up photo, with connections, plus some idea of who is making it and in what numbers.

This size will fit onto hearing-aid boards, which raises the tempting possibility of a Pico on/Pico off demonstration of ambient noise and clarity differences. If this was significant and persuasive, the BrainEar could sweep the market and make us rich. If only BRN had entrepreneurial flare.

Hearing aids are a great application for us and I am sure it is being pursued.
We can not only improve and tailor the performance somewhat for the wearer, but add a degree of AI autonomy and increased endurance.
We pretty much tick all the boxes here and can probably also decrease the price for both the manufacturer and consumer alike.
One of a list of niche products where we can find acceptance and prove ourselves to the broader market.

The Leading AI Chip Company For Edge Devices | Hailo

As a leading AI chip company, our smart edge solution bridges the gap between existing and future AI technologies and the edge computing.

hailo.ai

Hailo have a couple of impressive case studies from their customers on their website.

I wonder how they compare in terms of revenue? Founded in 2017 and have over 240 staff already and advertising for another 13 roles. Not exactly comparing apples with apples, but they do offer low power Edge AI solutions.

Really?
Sorry, but that sounds utterly implausible.

If your post had truly been intended as a joke, there would have been no reason whatsoever for you to put my name behind that of @BrainShit to make it look like we were the same person:

… and you wouldn’t have continued to post in such an aggressive manner (especially given you kept replying to posts that weren’t even addressed to you):

… and last but not least you wouldn’t have posted that insult vaguely reminiscent of an eccentric Roald Dahl character in the chocolate business (screenshot available, but unnecessary) shortly after (this time in reply to a post addressed to you).

And now you are seriously trying to sell us that first post, which spread the rumour that I were hiding behind two usernames, as a joke?! Come on, @Bravo.

Let’s leave it at that.

Still waiting for you to share your thoughts on the points I raised with regards to MB, by the way…

Hi Frangipani,

I won't be providing any of my thoughts to you on Mercedes-Benz, or anything else for that matter, because of how rude and unreasonable you are being. Cutting and pasting some old responses from the past to try and build a negative portrayal of me is bordering on pathological. I have reported your post and will continue doing so if you persist.
