BRN Discussion Ongoing

[Mac Dreezy]

Interesting read regarding Private AI Assistants. Seems like Akida will play a critical part especially with the power saving aspect.


Enhanced Privacy in Communication
In an era of constant surveillance and data scraping, Private AI Agents can act as intermediaries in your digital communications. They can encrypt messages, filter spam, and even manage your social media interactions, ensuring your digital footprint remains under your control.

Challenges and the Road Ahead​

While the potential of Private AI Agents is immense, several challenges must be addressed. One major hustle is the computational power required to run sophisticated AI models. Advances in edge computing and hardware optimization are critical to making these agents viable for everyday use, but decentralized systems like blockchains can do the job very well.

Ensuring user trust is paramount. Transparent operations, security protocols, and continuous updates are necessary to maintain the integrity of these agents."

Seans vision of building an Eco system of partners is certainly coming to fruition.
Andes Technology Corporation has more than 150 partner company's in their Eco system alone.
From their web site -"We aim to provide a win-win cooperative environment for our users and our partners. In this ecosystem, users and partners could communicate and work together to come up with customized total solutions".
Our overall extended Eco system now must be many multiples of the above figure.
BRN is well on their way to becoming ubiquitous.
Good luck to all fellow genuine SH, the future is looking very prosperous indeed.

Hi TopCat,

we can 100% exclude that they haven’t heard of BrainChip, as two of the researchers who collaborated on the publication in Nature had/have connections to our company:

Dhireesha Kudithipudi on LinkedIn: #nature #nsf | 17 comments

… and Cory Merkel is Assistant Professor of Computer Engineering at Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT), which joined the BrainChip University AI Accelerator Program in November 2022:

New research shows AI systems are getting closer to processing information like humans

RIT engineering professor Cory Merkel was one of more than a dozen researchers in neuromorphic computing contributing findings published on Jan. 22 in Natu

www.rit.edu

Also, Cory Merkel and lead author Dhireesha Kudithipudi (University of Texas-San Antonio) “have been long-time collaborators from when she was a professor in RIT’s Kate Gleason College of Engineering.” (until 2019)

And some of the other neuromorphic researchers listed are definitely at least aware of BrainChip… So there must be another reason for the omission.


Below the image you posted it says “This is a subset of publicly announced neuromorphic chips/subsystems”.

The publication itself (behind a paywall) might provide an explanation?
Could it have to do with the fact that the researchers seem to have focused on the development of future large-scale neuromorphic systems in this publication, whereas BrainChip was viewed to target only or primarily the extreme Edge AI market?

The reply on LinkedIn given by SpiNNcloud Systems (two of whose co-founders were among the authors of that paper published in Nature) confirms my prior speculation as to why BrainChip may have been omitted in that image:

BrainChip does get acknowledged as a major neuromorphic player, though, if that’s any consolation:

(On a side note: Why does it state there are four , but only three are visible? )

Question…. What was that all about a few weeks back on these guys in trouble financially ?.It seems that must have been rectified, hopefully .

SENSORY’S AI VOICE TECH ENABLES VOICE CONTROL IN JABRA’S INNOVATIVE RETAIL SOLUTION​

Santa Clara, CA – January 22, 2025 — Sensory, Inc., a leader in embedded AI and voice technology, today announced its next step in their partnership with Jabra, a world-leading professional audio brand. This latest collaboration integrates Sensory’s TrulyHandsfree wake word technology into Jabra’s new Perform 75 Bluetooth headset, specifically designed for frontline workers in retail operations.
Sensory’s TrulyHandsfree, featuring phrase-spotting technology, enables users to interact with their devices using natural voice commands, going beyond simple wake word functionality. With high accuracy (95%+) and zero latency, TrulyHandsfree powers the Jabra Perform 75 with seamless, hands-free access to capabilities delivered via handhelds – like Push-to-Talk, Voice Directed Picking, and Associate AI Assistants. This makes it an ideal solution for fast-paced, noisy retail environments, allowing frontline workers to communicate easily and instantly access critical information, so they can deliver an enhanced in-store customer experience.

“This partnership with Jabra demonstrates how AI-driven voice solutions can transform entire industries,” said Todd Mozer, CEO of Sensory, Inc. “The integration of Sensory’s TrulyHandsfree into the Perform 75 showcases our ability to deliver high-accuracy, low-power consumption voice technologies that thrive in challenging, real-world environments.”

The Jabra Perform 75 joins the Perform 45 in Jabra’s portfolio of headsets designed for frontline retail workers.

Is Nvidia’s reign over AI chips at risk with focus on high-end GPUs? | The National

Rivals such as Amazon and Microsoft are pouring billions into more affordable AI models to challenge Nvidia’s market dominance

Is Nvidia’s reign over AI chips at risk with focus on high-end GPUs?​

---

This article is a wake-up call for Nvidia to adapt to the rise of low SWAP (Size, Weight, and Power) processors. While Nvidia dominates with high-performance GPUs, competitors like DeepSeek are proving that cost-effective, efficient solutions can deliver comparable AI performance by optimizing software for less powerful hardware. This mirrors Intel’s decline, where its focus on high-performance chips left it behind as the industry shifted to mobile computing. If Nvidia doesn’t embrace low SWAP processors and more energy-efficient designs, it risks losing its edge as the market increasingly prioritizes affordability and efficiency over raw power. Adapting now is critical to maintaining its leadership in the evolving AI landscape.

Who wants to see NVidia produce a processor based on Akida IP?

Is this the moment when everyone finally understands Brainchips core value proposition?

This is a bit like comparing McLaren and Hyundai

Hi Believers,

Thought I'd share this photo, two things I've noticed, one I should have had my glasses on and two, is that Jensen
Huang's name on that Board Peter ? Good to stir the pot every now and then.

If you can't currently feel the positive energy around our company at the moment, well then you're dead, so much to unpack
throughout this year and into 2026....cybersecurity, healthcare and my favourite, space, the final frontier !

Here's to a positive 4C and update.......love Akida Tech

This is a bit like comparing McLaren and Hyundai

For this analogy


The industry has been using the McLaren to train and run inference for LLMs

China has just released an LLM that performs as well as the best and it can run on a beat up Datsun


Now why would people keep forking out for McLarens
