Ouch that’s a zinger.
I wonder if Pepsi will stop spending millions on Super Bowl ads and maccas will stop sponsoring almost everything because they already have enough customers. I’m sorry but that was the dumbest comment I’ve heard in a while. Let’s not showcase the astronomical developments with LLM’s and hope people come to us and ask us “whats new”?

Say it again

If ARM was an arm, BRN would be its biceps💪!
Seeing as there is a rare lunar event occurring this evening in Australia, where the moon will be flooded with a red light, I thought it might be fun to randomly select a post and see what it might turn up.

Here's where my randomness took me, which weirdly enough was and FMF post (FullMoonForever).:alien:

I must admit I was quite surprised to find that Sunny Bains actually asks the question about how much consolidation will occur in the next few years and then goes on to talk about Prophesee, Qualcomm and BrainChip.

Speaking of smart glasses, what have we here?

Fortiss is actively developing smart glasses prototypes incorporating neuromorphic technology through their EMMANÜELA project, which focuses on energy-efficient human-machine interaction in augmented and virtual reality (AR/VR) settings. This initiative leverages neuromorphic sensor technology and computing to enhance immersive digital experiences.

Can't find anything to suggest a direct collaboration between Fortiss and BrainChip at this time, so will keep it on the watch list.

Let's hope we'll be "seeing" some AR glasses soon from Fortiss, as above?

"Ladies and gentlemen, we have a new partner - fortiss!"

...It is a non-profit limited company..

Guess what - I just found out that Axel von Arnim and Jules Lecomte merely pretend to be neuromorphic researchers at fortiss and that our gullible BrainChip staff fell for this scam when partnering with them! 😱

In reality, the two of them are robots, as this photo proves…

Are you aware, by the way, that the Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft is also recognised as a non-profit research organisation in Germany?

The FPGA is a cut-down version with fewer NPUs. There will be additional memory for the LLM.

FPGAs are used for low volume or demonstrations. but not for large volume production.

FPGAs are favored for their flexibility, low power consumption, and ability to adapt to evolving system needs.

They used for a wide range of applications due to their reprogrammability and parallel processing capabilities. Key uses include:

  • Hardware Acceleration: Boosting computational performance in areas like AI, machine learning, cryptography, and scientific computing.
  • Digital Signal Processing (DSP): High-speed tasks like signal modulation, filtering, and real-time image processing in radar and communication systems.
  • Embedded Systems: Customizing systems-on-a-chip for applications in automotive, aerospace, and consumer electronics.
  • Prototyping: Rapid development and testing of application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs).
  • Medical Imaging: Supporting complex tasks such as MRI segmentation and tomographic reconstruction.
  • Telecom and 5G: Handling dynamic requirements in communication systems.
  • Edge Computing & Robotics: Enabling AI inferencing and secure system control in industrial automation.

Yep. When I heard the BrainChip team proudly mention that existing partners visited their booth I kinda of thought surely they already communicate with each other enough. And don’t we already have enough customers to focus on. I think it’s fair enough having Tony as a keynote speaker, I can see the value. But how much value are we getting from our booth that’s 1/10 tenth of the size of Edge Impulses.

If you are not representing your company at trade fairs, you are almost dead or do not exist! It is a MUST to be there because that is the place where people and potential customers browse and stop by.

Not sure if this is new. A brief promo video on the Qauntum Ventura website.

Yeah, a great fit for us. We seem to be a non profit organisation as well!!😭🤣

The State of Edge AI – panel at IoT Stars

The State of Edge AI – panel at IoT Stars

Let’s stop messing around, big shots join the Edge AI community​

It’s no secret that Edge AI is a hot topic, arguably the main theme of last week's embedded world Exhibition&Conference in Nuremberg, Germany.

The biggest buzz on the conference floor? Edge Impulse's acquisition by Qualcomm! Would this mean that the technology is moving beyond its infancy and into industry adoption?

The Edge AI space is moving fast​


This year’s insane!” cried Zach Shelby, reacting to the sheer number of real Edge AI projects on display. While Edge Impulse may be ahead of the curve, it’s clear that the Edge AI space is moving fast. A year ago, a conversation about “the state of Edge AI” might have felt like an echo chamber where people could only talk about a handful of Edge AI applications which barely moved beyond its POC stage. This year is different. It seemed like every exhibitor at Embedded World had a real Edge AI story to share, primarily focused on computer vision, built without powerful, energy-draining and expensive GPUs. Instead, exhibitors showcased low-resolution cameras connected to inexpensive, battery-powered microcontrollers, running ultra-fast models with minimal latency and energy consumption

Real data, real sensors​


The Edge AI community is flourishing, with more developers than ever gaining access to free AI models. But the real bottleneck to adoption isn’t the models, it’s the quality of the data.

Companies have been collecting data for decades, yet much of it can be completely thrown away. Many data sets are sampled, aggregated or lack clear context on what happened when that data was collected, making them useless for training AI models. “We need good data from real sensor as close to the real deployments as possible.” Shelby underscores the need for best practices to enable people to collect high quality data and more collaboration centered around data; we need to find better ways to crowdsource, collect and share data.

We don’t need more chatbots!​


The threshold to getting started might seem low, but we’re mostly talking to the same group of embedded developers who’re actually putting Edge AI to use. “It’s an engineering party, hosted in an ivory tower” as Fabio Violante, CEO of Arduino put it. We need to open up, bringing in more creativity.

“What’s the hello world of AI?” asked Brandon Satrom from Blues. “It’s chatbots!” And if there’s anything we don’t need more of, it’s chatbots, which won’t work on MCU-based devices anyway. Put that Raspberry Pi away and stop running Ollama. Look beyond chatbots and start implementing sensor-driven applications which solve real problems. As Violante nicely put it “Edge AI is there to solve problems, not the other way around”

Community, unite!​


The industry is at a turning point with big shots investing heavily. Now is the time to define best practices, share experiences and crowdsource high quality data. Could this be the moment for the EDGE AI FOUNDATION to take the lead?

Let’s stop messing around and start solving real problems using a technology that has proven itself.

Happy to get a response from Tony Lewis and it gives me confidence that we are making an impact at trade fairs. Thanks also to the members that shared their experiences of trade fairs.

Thanks for the link Supersonic. The irony of his presentation is that in his Linkedin post, Alf Kuchenbuch commented "Please excuse the poor sound quality of this clip, we took it at the show floor." while Tony was talking about, AND PRESENTING an AN AUDIO DENOISING solution that was denoising THE VERY SAME SHOWFLOOR COMMOTION.

Another missed opportunity for the company -- they could have started the clip with the ambient sound, and then denoised the rest of the clip to show its efficacy.

Nope, it was fine, people in the know got the message.

Keep on with your negative crap, one day you might succeed finding something that sticks.
