BRN Discussion Ongoing

Volkswagen decided to sell their in-house currywurst in supermarkets… and some people here are complaining about BrainChip’s t-shirt era in the beginning…

Currywurst von VW im Supermarkt: „Kult, Bestseller-Status, globale Ikone“

Im Kerngeschäft lief es für Volkswagen zuletzt denkbar schlecht. Dafür gibt es den Kantinen-Bestseller des Konzerns bald auch für Zuhause.

The best we can offer at the moment, is humble pie..
But we're "giving" that away ..

 

[DingoBorat]

This company would be a good fit I think

Medivis medical AR

Actually a better fit for another company I have shares in..

Here is a journal article published today titled “Real-Time AI Inference at the Edge for Self-Driving Cars” by Murali Krishna Reddy Mandalapu, Senior Director, Hardware Engineering at Renesas Electronics America.

https://www.linkedin.com/in/murali-kr-mandalapu/

A good read on the topic for sure that also covers neuromorphic computing as an emerging trend for the future of Edge AI in autonomous driving, but strangely there is no mention at all of BrainChip or Akida, despite Renesas Electronics America having signed an IP license with us back in December 2020.

Four months ago, when I found out Sailesh Chittipeddi, the public face of Renesas to us BRN shareholders, had decided to leave the company at the end of 2024, I wrote another post on the mystery surrounding Renesas:

This one has completely gone over my head could someone explain please lol

Don't know if this has been discussed. Re our Partners. If a joint commercial product is produced, would BRN's partner require an IP licence?

I once asked Tony Dawe if there is a written partnership agreement with the partners and he told me there was. I assume that agreement would deal with IP.

I've come to think of the Partnership Agreements as being like an IP Licence but without the fee to encourage uptake of the product.

Yoda,
That's what I was thinking. There has been a lot of banging on here about lack of signed IP licences but I see the Partnerships as 'IP licences'
So any jointly produced commercial products would be income but without the upfront licence fee.
You gotta be happy with that...... Just wait a little longer.

Yes I agree. If you look at it that way we have agreements with many clients and we are just waiting for those clients to produce a product with Akida and start paying royalties. Presumably, because there was no upfront licence fee and because the timeline for the client to produce a product was long and uncertain, these agreements were not announced on the ASX as commercially sensitive. However, as time goes by, it may well come to pass that some, if not most, of these agreements will become commercially significant and income producing.

 

[Iseki]

It's very, very clear to me at least that Tony Lewis knows just how good Brainchip's innovations are, not only does he have a very
good team around him, despite losing Yan Ru (Rudy) recently to Nvidia, we are right where we need to be.

Yes, I can feel the frustration just as much as anyone, when will a couple of BIG signings take place, the truth is, we have been knocking
on that door for an awful long period, we aren't going away, so I guess some company will eventually answer our persistence, maybe.
just maybe Rudy will help Jensen realise that Brainchip is the clear path to give his company dominance at both ends of the spectrum,
that is, the data centre and the far edge......we are the leaders in this space, at least I'm still satisfied that is the case. but the amount of
visual traction still really bothers me...........Question: what are our EAP's so concerned about, as a company, we have bent over and taken
it like a team player, what happens on tour, says on tour......sign the contracts, and stop all this hedging of bets.

As Steve Brightfield suggested, some interesting news (will likely) be shared in April......comon Sean, deliver something solid !!

Slightly pissed off Tech x

Question: what are our EAP's so concerned about?

They won't recoup the money they spend on developing a product with Akida2.
And they won't be able to support the product into the future unless they hire ML coders and SNN data analysts.

That is why the FPGA interim solution is important. i.e. they can assess the real-time inferencing that Akida can bring, without the whole thing being a simulation. It's also a hindrance since FPGA programmers are rarer than ML coders.

Believe it or not I think there is a piece missing in our eco-system -eg a company that could put together a working cybersecurity solution using QV's models on akida hardware on an FPGA chip and take that box around to demonstrations.

Are you interpreting the situation as per your knowledge or you want to tell us the facts we don't know yet?

No, I'm interpreting based on what we know and what Tony Dawe told me.

[rgupta]

No, I'm interpreting based on what we know and what Tony Dawe told me.

So you mean TD told you that brainchip had signed contracts with partners and waiting for products with Akida but cannot tell the market because of NDAs?

 

[7für7]

Why can’t we just get an insane positive announcement to fu..kin fly above the Milky Way?

COME ON BRAINCHIP!!!!! BRING IT ON!

Have this Fraunhofer student connection who has set up the following on GitHub updated 2 days ago.

Wonder if stand alone work or part of a project there?

A comprehensive pipeline for training, quantizing, and converting neural networks to utilise Brainchip's Akida neuromorphic processor to classify ECG Signals.

GitHub - mer0o/Akida-ECG-Classification: A comprehensive pipeline for training, quantizing, and converting neural networks to utilise Brainchip's Akida neuromorphic processor to classify ECG Signals.

Can we at least finish with some emerald green for St. Patrick's day.

A nice contrast to the Kilkenny red ale I'm about to open.

Happy St. Pat's all

So Keith was adapting Akida for C++ systems:

"Created a C++ library for pre and post processing of different data types to be used in Akida machine learning demos. Converted Brainchip’s PyTorch TENN state space model for their LLM RAG demo from Python to C++."


At first, I thought the obvious target was Prophesee:
https://docs.prophesee.ai/stable/get_started/get_started_cpp.html

"In this Section, we will create a minimal sample to get started with Metavision SDK C++ API. The goal of this sample is to introduce in the simplest possible way some basic concepts of Metavision SDK and create a first running example."

But C++ is a very popular language (dare one say "semi-ubiquitous?"), and LLM RAG isn't really of interest to Prophesee applications, so this could open additional opportunities.

2) State-Space Models: A paradigm-shifting metaphor for brain processing, capturing the essences of brain-like processing in a predictable engineering framework. This approach has the potential to redefine how we understand and replicate brain-like intelligence. This represents the next generation of BrainChip products.

At Nuremberg I will be carrying under my arm the what I believe is our most valuable intellectual property to date: an extreme-edge Large Language Model (LLM) that redefines the boundaries of AI deployment. You will be able to see the FPGA embodiment at EW at our booth."

The EW demo of NLP (LLM+RAG?) that I saw did not go into much detail other than the Akida/TENNs ASIC would be 10 times faster than the FPGA,.

Looking forward to the Akida 2/TENNs ASIC.
