Latent AI, a leader in edge AI solutions, and Carahsoft have partnered to accelerate the adoption of edge AI solutions in the public sector.

Carahsoft will distribute Latent AI’s Efficient Inference Platform (LEIP) and ruggedized mobile solutions through its reseller network and government contracts like NASA SEWP V and ITES-SW2.

LEIP is a unique machine learning operations tool that integrates optimization and security features, supporting IL5/IL6 integration for government use.
The partnership aims to enhance AI deployment for critical government missions, including projects like Navy Project Overmatch and Army Project Linchpin.

“This partnership with Carahsoft marks a pivotal moment in bringing adaptive edge AI to where it matters most – supporting critical government missions,” says Jags Kandasamy, CEO and co-founder at Latent AI. “By combining Latent AI’s proven capabilities in optimizing and securing AI at the edge for tactical environments with Carahsoft’s extensive Public Sector reach, we’re accelerating the deployment of AI that can operate effectively anywhere, even in the most challenging conditions.”

Latent AI specializes in edge AI solutions, enabling rapid deployment of AI capabilities on various devices, even in challenging environments.

Carahsoft’s AI portfolio supports government agencies with solutions for AI, cybersecurity, multi-cloud, and more, leveraging a broad ecosystem of resellers and integrators.

The collaboration will help federal agencies and the Department of Defense deploy scalable, secure AI solutions at the tactical edge.

Latent AI’s and Carahsoft’s solutions are available through multiple government procurement contracts, ensuring accessibility for public sector organizations.

I just has a quick look at their sites Frangipani, but Latent A.I. seem to be more of a development enabler, like Edge Impulse?..

Latent - (of a quality or state) existing but not yet developed or manifest; hidden or concealed.

Trump awards Boeing contract for 'sixth-generation' F-47 jet

The F-47 fighter jet contract is a boost for Boeing, which has faced slumps in both military and civilian sales.

It's funny, Boeing doesn't have a real "military" feel to me, more of a passenger jet thing..

Whereas "Lockheed" Martin, has an obvious pedigree.

Makes more sense, when you know that McDonnell Douglas, merged into Boeing, in 1997..

My interpretation is that this acquisition will help support Arm's ambitions to develop it's own custom chips, which might in turn provide more of an incentive for Arm to integrate BrainChip's Akida neuromorphic processor to deliver advanced AI capabilities at the edge.

“PanocularAI Shows That There’s Another Way

The start-up from Darmstadt has developed a system that runs AI models directly on edge devices—small, energy-efficient devices such as drones, autonomous vehicles, or robots. With PanocularAI’s technology, these devices can independently analyze their surroundings and respond to changes—without relying on external servers.

“Our AI doesn’t just interpret images; it understands context,” explains Dr. Arya Mazaheri. “With our technology, a robot can recognize whether the person in front of it is a construction worker wearing a helmet or someone trespassing in a restricted area.”

An AI That Runs on Edge Devices

PanocularAI is developing an efficient vision solution for the next generation of autonomous systems.

This environmental perception happens in real time with minimal computational effort—a technological breakthrough that could revolutionize many industries. Lower energy consumption, higher speed, and increased security—since no data needs to be sent to external servers—are the key advantages of this innovation.”

Poor research Hopalong..
I suggest you dig a little deeper..

You might find the name "McDonnell Douglas" pops up more than you'ld like in what you seem to have found Boeing claiming as "their" history..

I didn't say Boeing didn't have "any" military history, by the way..


P-51 Mustang made by NAA, bought out by Boeing 1996.

F-4 Phantom, F-15 Eagle, F/A-18 Hornet, all made by McDonnell Douglas, which as I said, was bought out by Boeing in 1997.

The EA-18G Growler; is a version of the Super Hornet (see Hornet above).

"McDonnell Aircraft later merged with the Douglas Aircraft Company to form McDonnell Douglas in 1967"

So "McDonnell Douglas" has probably done a bit of the same, of what Boeing is doing now..

“With desktop tools like LM Studio, running a local chatbot on your own computer has become extremely easy with just a few clicks. However, things have been more complicated when it comes to having your local AI answer questions about your own documents. For privacy reasons, it is advisable to avoid relying on cloud services like those from OpenAI or Anthropic for this purpose.

The open-source application Klee aims to solve this problem. The program is available for Windows and macOS and offers a simple interface that allows you to load your own documents or notes and then query them using a local AI. In our brief test, this worked quite convincingly—though the software can only partially keep up with the major cloud providers.”

KMU-innovativ: AI-based, Voice-Controlled Anomaly Detection in AMR Systems Without Cloud Connectivity (IntelliVoiceAnalytic)

Funding Program: KMU-innovativ: Future of Value Creation (from 2023)


Duration: 01.01.2025 - 31.12.2026


Funding Reference Numbers: 02K24K000, 02K24K001
ROX AMR interacting with a worker
© AI-generated with DALL-E 3

Research Objective:
The goal of the KMU-innovativ project IntelliVoiceAnalytic is to develop a prototype of an AMR (Autonomous Mobile Robot) whose normal operation is monitored directly onboard by an AI system. This involves implementing automatic determination of the target state using small data sets. An AMR will be upgraded as a test platform. Data from the normal state will be acquired, and deviations will be artificially generated.

The AI models for the predictive maintenance (PM) system will be developed to evaluate not only clear sensor signals but also raw data. Current AI-supported tools for speech recognition and synthesis will be selected, particularly regarding their offline capabilities, and a human-robot interface using natural language will be implemented. The individual components will be integrated into a demonstrator and tested.

Hi Hoppy,

The F-47 is still a few years away, but the Ghostbat/Loyal Wingman has been flying for a couple of years.

It can work with current fighters, but I don't know if it uses Akida (and if I did, they'd probably have to shoot me).

The Bascom Hunter 3U-VPX SNAP card with 5 AKida 1 chips should be interchangable between aircraft, but the F-47 is a few years away. I wonder if it can be used to upgrade current fighters? .

With Fullmoon, AI chatbots can run on an iPhone—even without an internet connection. COMPUTER BILD takes a closer look at what the app has to offer.

Recently, the Fullmoon app launched in Apple’s App Store. What makes it special: It runs AI models locally on the smartphone without requiring an internet connection. This is particularly appealing to users concerned about data privacy, as the open-source software utilizes AI models that work exclusively with locally stored data. This eliminates the need for requests to the servers of major providers. To achieve this, developer Mainframe has specifically optimized the software for Apple chips.

Hi Dingo.
I took your advise and dug a little deeper into the history of Boeing and concede your point that many of the aircraft that earlier paragraph mentions were the products of other companies subsequently absorbed into Boeing.
Although I would hardly call the B17 flying fortress, B29 super fortress or the B52 strato fortress "passenger jet thing's".

I'll let you argue with Boeing as to the semantics of what they claim as "their" pedigree but you can see that after also absorbing Hughes and Northrop and doubtless myriad other smaller fish, over the years, McDonnell Douglas was just part of the picture.

Anyway, Trump seems to think they "feel" military enough so I guess you better fall in line.
It is a royal decree after all.

"Although I would hardly call the B17 flying fortress, B29 super fortress or the B52 strato fortress "passenger jet thing's"

You're right, absolutely nothing passenger jetty about "those" planes


"The prototype B-17, with the Boeing factory designation of Model 299, was designed by a team of engineers led by E. Gifford Emery and Edward Curtis Wells, and was built at Boeing's own expense.[12] It combined features of the company's experimental XB-15 bomber and 247 transport."

In the past, we’ve made a lot of speculations about possible connections between our partners and the big players… While I do find it interesting in general, after so many misinterpretations, I’m no longer convinced that this is of any help to us, especially since Arm doesn’t have only BrainChip in its portfolio. I don’t even pay attention to such news anymore. Only when something official comes from BrainChip or when other companies mention BrainChip directly. Otherwise, it only leads to disappointment. And eventually to the dolci syndrome.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m still positive and keep buying more. However, these kinds of reports are not decisive for me. It’s like when you were a kid, and someone promised to buy you something or take you to a certain amusement park the next day, just to keep you calm. At some point, you get old enough to realize it was just empty words… The biggest letdown of all: Santa Claus.

What? Are you saying Santa Isn't real? No way! Get the f$%k out of here!

Sadly, Boeing have lost its way years ago.

Before, their planes were extremely well engineered, like the 747.

The Boeing 737 Max have been a total disaster.

Why Did The Boeing 737 Max Crash? - David Perell

David analyzes the root causes of the Boeing 737 Max crash. Read here.

perell.com

In 2005, Boeing hired its first CEO without aircraft engineering experience. Slowly, the company lost its culture of engineering excellence and adopted one of financialization and cost reduction through outsourcing. To illustrate the dangers of outsourcing, Smith points to the DC-10 aircraft, where the subcontractors made all the profits while the McDonnell Douglas absorbed the excess costs. In the aircraft industry, outsourcing commercial aircraft is likely to backfire. Military aircraft are a major exception because Congressional support is easier to secure when many states are involved.¹

Well Dingo, if you mean that both passenger planes and military planes tend to have wings, engines and a fuselage you are absolutely correct.
Physics, available materials and engineering techniques as well as intended application tend to dictate the way they tend to be connected.
But none of this has anything much to do with Brainchip so will leave this at that.
