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:Just another intern helping with our Akida including TENNs and LLM RAG.

Developed an in-depth understanding and code documentation of the Akida Engine Library's C++ API using Sphinx. Created AI powered anomaly detection demos in C++ and Python to showcase the capabilities of Akida using PyTorch, XTensor, Qt, Gradio, WiringPi, and Adafruit. 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++.
Cheers. So the language is going to be important to end use obviously and you are saying the C++ may open additional avenues.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, and LLM RAG isn't really of interese 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.

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.www.faz.net
VW Currywurst is cult .... Whenever we went to the VW plant in Wolfsburg to pick up a new car, it was always a must to go to the VW restaurant to eat a currywurst or two. .... 30 / 40 years ago until todayThat move by crisis-hit German carmaker VW is far from being an act of desperation, though, like some readers might infer from the above comment by our forum’s top Germany-bashing poster: While VW’s car sales have been declining, its signature sausage is in fact wildly popular, sold internationally and even has its own Volkswagen Original Part number - 199 398 500 A.
The FAZ title is somewhat misleading, though, as the iconic sausage as such is already being sold in select supermarkets as well as online - the soon-to-be-launched novelty is going to be a ready-to-eat-once-heated version, cut up and slathered in VW’s secret recipe sauce (a special ketchup produced exclusively for VW by Develey and listed as Volkswagen Originalteil 199 398 500 B.)

German carmaker Volkswagen's in-house sausage brand sets sales record
The core car business is weakening, but German auto giant Volkswagen (VW) was able to set a sales record for an unexpected product in 2024: sausages. Volkswagen's line of sausages saw 8,552,000 units sold in 2024 in canteens and supermarkets. That includes VW's packaged currywurst, a much-loved...www.yahoo.com
“For the flagship VW brand, the sausages are by far the best-selling product. In 2024, the 8.5 million sausages compared to around 5.2 million cars and vans with the VW logo.”

Chat GPT, Gemini etc Tata and softwareization.AKIDA is all about anything is possible.
Expect the unexpected.
Don't fall off your perch if Tata Motors roll AKIDA off the commercial production line before Mercedes.
Tata is one of the World's most progressive companies.
Tata, particularly Tata Motors and Tata Technologies, are undergoing emphasis and investment in 'softwareization'.
You need Hardware to run software and Tata has openly declared AKIDA technology as superior.
They have publicity declared us for use in their Health and Industrial but it will not end there.
They own the high end Jaquar and Range Rover. Also have Daewoo in their stable.
If they do not beat Merc they will not be far behind.
