Hi @Diogenese

Don't know if you saw this post when done back in late July but curious on your thoughts on Arduino adding support for the Akida PCIe. If you had any?

This open up another mkt avenue I presume and would they do this due inbound requests or just for the hell of it?

I checked the date of the BRN/TATA Elexi agreement - 20230830, more than a year after the filing of the reservoir-based SNN patent application, which. at first glance, suggests no BRN/Akida involvement.

So then I looked at the TATA Consultancy cooperation: 20191205:

BrainChip and Tata Consultancy Services unveil gesture recognition technology at NeurIPS 2019​

BrainChip, in partnership with Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), will showcase its hand gesture recognition technology using Dynamic Vision Sensor (DVS) spiking input on the Akida Neuromorphic Technology Platform at Neural Information Processing Systems conference (NeurIPS 2019) in Vancouver this month, the company announced.
The technology is outlined in a research paper named “Human Gesture Recognition using Spiking Input on Akida Neuromorphic Platform,” written by Sounak Dey, Arijit Mukherjee from TCS Research and Gilles Bézard, Douglas McLelland from BrainChip. The demonstration will include a presentation of the research
.

The TCS authors are familiar faces and overlap with the inventors of the patent, so there is no doubt that the TCS inventors were working with Akida well before filing the patent.

Question for all product professionals:

What do you do when a product is so innovative, so disruptive, and so perfect for solving billions of $ of problems, and providing billions of $ of savings but is so new and revolutionary that companies are afraid to be first?

This is the very unique problem faced by #BrainChip and when fear of being first gives way to the determination to solve problems that are bordering on crisis, technology companies around the world will line up for BrainChip's product. Until then, fear wins the day. #apple #google #auto #tesla

AGAIN ... my question: Where is the link?

Tata has publicly acknowledged it will deliver Medical products implementing AKIDA to market.
“The combination of our user-centric design expertise with leading-edge technologies is key to helping enterprises reimagine their products and services to improve operational efficiency, reduce costs and deliver new services to their customers,” said Manoj Raghavan, CEO and MD at Tata Elxsi. “This cannot be possible without our global ecosystem of partners. By partnering with BrainChip and implementing Akida technology into medical and industrial solutions, we are able to deliver innovative solutions at a faster time to market than otherwise possible.”
No doubt any agreement is subject to an NDA and products likely still being tested. Medical solutions would not be rushed.
This sort of agreement would likely be a 5 year profit overnight deal.
They are really losing it over on the crapper.

Thanks manny,

What was niggling away atthe back of my mind was the use of the term "reservoir-based SNN", which was unfamiliar to me. However, as I said, I think this refers to LSTM or TENNs, where instead of just discarding signals once they have been processed/classified, a "sliding" block of the earlier signals is stored for context to be used in interpreting input signals in a natural language processing (NLP) task.

In other words, the system stores a passage of speech and compares words in the incoming speech signals to identify the same words (or variations thereof, eg, plural, adjectival, etc.) and related words to identify the context of the word. Spoken words can be converted to text in a classification process (CNN/RNN).

It links to a comprehensive overview of Akida.

Yep, no different to Pia Turcinov, who despite all of her posts on Linkedin cant even give on mention to Brainchip!

...

...BrainChip's product.
I recently had the thought again of what it would have been like if Brainchip had a simple ready-made product that people understood, cost little and only served to make NC known to the masses. In my view, GPT was a huge success not because it can be very useful, but because it was easily accessible and even people with no premonition used it as a crystal ball or just to play with. The world got to know it in a short time.
Examples are not so easy for me to think of, but with a lot of imagination maybe something in the size factor like a refillable vapour for testing liquids and that can be trained and then trains itself. Imagine if there was such a thing and you went into a bar, put it in a cocktail and it tells you what it is and what's in it. Or others would use it for their whisky and others for their coffee, beer tasting or green tea to determine the perfect temperature with little bitterness and so on? So it's more of a playful character and to show that there are also simple applications and that you don't have to be a rocket scientist.
Or a simple camera that does nothing more than tell you what it has just photographed.
My idea is probably too naive. But market acceptance comes after the perception that something like this exists. GPT was thrown onto the market that didn't existed and that was exactly the right tactic. Suddenly so many people are starting to think about how they can use it for their own companies.
NPUs in smartphones, for example, are nothing new. But very few people think about the benefits. A low-cost device for simple recognition and without a cloud would drastically demonstrate the possibilities in a playful way, which is fun for people and automatically ensures acceptance. The market would emerge automatically.
Perhaps a better idea for the bar counters.

I don't want to be a heretic.

Imagine that at the beginning there is this little cheap camera that can do nothing but take pictures to recognize what is seen and the user has to tell it what it is. Later it recognises it all by itself and gets better and better at it. Then others play around with it because they see a market that nobody else 'sees', blind people. A blind person points a well-trimmed camera at a scene and with SLMs this camera tells what the blind person could be looking at, or what a deaf person could be hearing and is now reading on the small display. Myriads of applications just in this small case.
~~The customer only can buy what he sees, I have often said to myself over the years, or so I think.

The exchange on Reddit, for example, about these simple models. One to the other: I found something brilliant here and loaded it onto my Akida....

GPT is hip and that opens up its market.
It was the same with the video cassette. No end user was interested in the technical realisation. It was purely about that thing that was new. ...nobody can buy what nobody can see.
Think of GPT first at market and would existing only in labs and...
what it is today.

Hi Dio. Thanks for looking into this. I have seen along these lines where they have been using Neucube but this link to a LinkdIn posy by Sounek Dey I's promising when you check out the comments. This ppst was from 2023 so have they had time to introduceAkida, who knows?
