Thanks Benny,

I did have Weebit in mind for storing models when I mentioned the auxilliary memory.

As a Strategic Partner, Weebit brings its low-power, high-performance Resistive RAM (ReRAM or RRAM) technology to this dynamic community. For advanced edge AI chips, Weebit ReRAM provides the dense on-chip non-volatile memory (NVM) needed to store weights for artificial Neural Networks (NNs) with ultra-low power consumption that is critical for edge devices. It also scales to the smaller process geometries used in the fabrication of advanced AI SoCs.

Hi Hoppy,

3 months ago in the Roadmap, JT said that GenAI was available as FPGA and they expected silicon (ASIC) within 12 months. Either that was conservative, or GenAI has been prioritized.

To make GenAI semi-autonomous wrt the cloud, it may use RAG (Retrieval Augmented Generation) with a lot of auxiliary memory.

They talk about 1 billion parameters as a yardstick. Given that this could be up to FP32, that's quite a lot of memory for an edge device.

But, apart from that, the nodes will probably still be the TENNs 128 MAC arrays requiring (comparatively) very little adjustment to the tapeout. That said, I suppose that the MACs will need to be adjusted to handle FP32, and maybe that's where the ISA (Instruction Set Architecture) comes in. SO, ok, there will be a lot of tapeout work required*.


* I'm submitting this to Guinnes for the fastest self-contradiction ...

Has Marcus inadvertently spilled the beans?

Yes, this is off topic I know, BUT I have to comment on my AFL team the Brisbane Lions, congratulations guys and Chris Fagan
our coach, he reminds me of Peter, as in, a really caring individual who puts ego and self aside and considers others first, promotes
positivity and self-belief.

I've been a Brisbane supporter since around 1998, just before or around when Lee Matthews came on board as our coach, we were
around 15th or 16th on the ladder but went on to win the Premiership in 2001,2002 and 2003 and now under Fages we have secured
2024 and 2025, that's a brilliant achievement.

Over my years at the Joondalup Resort Golf Course in Perth I got to meet many Australian sporting heroes in Golf, Tennis, Cricket and
the AFL, including Alastair Lynch and Jason Akermanis of the Brisbane Lions, they love their golf, and I was quietly proud to meet them
on my own patch, so to speak.

So, I guess I have two loves currently, Brainchip and the Brisbane Lions ........ Tech.
