Hi FF, my minds in a bit of a quandary in regard to Intel's ( Loihi ) and IBM's ( TrueNorth ) and there usefulness only as research hardware ?. Are they both still being developed further, and could still be contenders, ( competition ) as they are or could be, ??.

For years it has been stated that these neuromorphic chips won't have any commercial value to fabricate, and sell and are only useful for research purposes. As one notable professor often muttered, ( why is it so ? )

Wouldn't Akida itself be more than useful as a research candidate ( because it's more powerful etc ) than the Intel or IBM offering, particularly as it has much more features, ( useful features ) and is far and away considered more ( state of the art, so to speak ) leading edge than the other 2 offerings.

Also, because the Loihi and TrueNorth processors won't ever be considered worthy of commercialization, ( and only worthy for research purposes ) doesn't this mean that Akida is the front runner both for research and as a commercial ( in the " first to market" sense ) solution.

I must be missing something, the boss ( i.e. she who must be obeyed ) often picks me up on the somethings in life that we come across and the missings of same. It's not unusual. ( to be loved my anyone )

Just thought I'd put this concern ( not a worrying one, hopefully ) out there ( and is not a daft query ) for some comment from all/any of the technical wizkids ( that appear to be in abundance, on these threads ). I'll just sleep better for having this quandary removed from my thought processes for good.

Akida Ballista >>>>> Are we getting there driver ?? and, How soon will we arrive <<<<<

gltah and followers ......


hotty...

Awesome response and history from FF on this question posed above. Also to add on to this conversation and this is my experience and perspective.... if you are a IT hardware/IP developer you don’t want to be just used as research hardware.

This is a general clear sign that the tech is “not fully working as we would like yet” and “still in development”...ie “its got some bugs”

I come from the ICT world and the view to me of a hardware vendor just placing their new tech out in the world for “research use” screams that this tech is really just at “proof of concept” stage and they don’t guarantee anything about it as yet. So they are saying use it (most likely for free) and have fun but it may have problems and we don’t really support it fully but let us know about the problems so we can then fix them all as we go.

Brainchip have achieved “fully tested” and “production” status and to achieve that for bleeding edge AI tech is very difficult and time consuming(as most of us know now) and It now places Akida in a whole other league.

So it is great to get into universities and research groups now for Brainchip (while not generating much dollars) this will help generate the value of being an “industry standard” or “best practice” and is available for production/commercial use is one of the biggest benefits.

Intel and IBM have not yet achieved what Brainchip has as their chips are not finalised/solved to even start many rounds of “production testing” and has not achieved the final state of “production ready” status so it can be released to the world for real world commercial use.

Would a Uni prefer to study a theoretic product or a real world commercial product.

Saturation of Brainchips products are occurring now....how many NDA’s ...how many high profile names associated now or broken cover to basically say there is a best practice hardware to use for Neuromorphic computing ....it’s Brainchip. This to me means the Uni’s will literally be chasing down Brainchip products for use in classes over time as their is no substitute for the smarts or anything else in true production that comes close.

Hi! I support what you said about Brainchip - they look promising.
You also talk about companies that distribute their product for free, but collect feedback about problems. Do you think this approach just saves the product budget?

A little write up from..... STOCKS down under ..​

How to benefit from BrainChip’s breathtaking potential in 2022​

Behzad Golmohammadi, June 17, 2022

Who is BrainChip?​

BrainChip Holdings Ltd (ASX: BRN) develops software and hardware solutions for artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning applications. The company’s key product is the Akida Neuromorphic Processor, which is in essence a Spiking Neural Network (SNN). It provides ultra-low power and fast AI (artificial intelligence) Edge computing solutions without the need for a continuous internet connection. Additionally, unsupervised learning capabilities and on-chip processing (rather than in the Cloud) set Akida apart from other AI solutions on the market.
Akida can be used in a range of applications, like vision and audio, which in turn are used in a wide variety of industries, such as automotive, robotics, aerospace and cybersecurity to name just a few. BrainChip was incorporated in 2011 and is based in Sydney, Australia.

We have covered BrainChip and its revolutionary SNN technology extensively at Stocks Down Under and Pitt Street Research. You can use the following links for an in-depth explanation of BrainChip’s technology and business model:

• BrainChip on Pitt Street Research
• Interview with BrainChip (ASX: BRN) CEO Sean Hehir
• BrainChip (ASX: BRN): Welcome to the revolution!
• BrainChip (ASX: BRN): Why we like this stock so much

Additionally, we have also written about BrainChip multiple times in Stocks Down Under, accessible to Stocks Down Under subscribers.

In this article we’ll look at what is driving BrainChip’s share price and how you can play this high-potential stock in a volatile share market from a technical analysis point of view. Let’s start by taking a look at BrainChip’s share price chart to see what moved the share price after the Corona Crash.

BrainChip Holdings, Weekly Chart in Semi-log Scale (Source: Metastock)


❶ BrainChip announces an agreement with a US-based automotive manufacturer for evaluation of BRN’s Akida neural network System-on-Chip (SoC) for Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) and Autonomous Vehicle (AV) applications. (Akida Evaluation Agreement)

❽ BRN begins taking orders for the Akida AI Processor Development Kits. (Taking Orders for Akida AI)

❾ BRN enters into a multi-year license agreement for the Akida IP with MegaChips, a pioneer in Application Specific Integrated Circuits (ASIC’s), to enhance its technology positioning for next-generation AI solutions. (Megachips’ License Agreement)

❿ Increased media attention to the AI industry and tier 1 companies joining BRN’s Early Access Program customer list increases retail investors’ attention and confidence in the stock. (Response to ASX Price Query)

ADAS and autonomous driving are major catalysts for BrainChip​

The COVID-19 pandemic introduced unprecedented challenges to the semiconductor industry, which led to global chip shortages that automatically brought substantial investor and media attention to stocks in this industry. In addition, the near-zero interest rate environment encouraged investment in growth and speculative tech stocks. At the same time, there have been ongoing discussions surrounding climate change and how to reduce global carbon emissions, which has further propelled the Electric Vehicles (EV) revolution.

An important point of competition amongst EV manufacturers is their vehicles’ driver assistance and autonomous driving capabilities. While Tesla, the American automotive and clean energy company, is way ahead of its competitors in terms of autonomous driving and driver assistance capabilities, traditional auto makers getting into EVs are striving for any technology that can help them in their battle with Tesla. This is why BrainChip’s Akida neural network System-on-Chip (SoC) is receiving increasing attention from tier 1 auto and auto parts makers in Europe and elsewhere.

Looking for advanced technologies to fill their knowledge gaps, they have come across BrainChip that checks all their ADAS boxes when it comes to required semiconductor IP. No wonder, then, that every time the company announced new milestones and deals, the share price reacted very sharply, to the extent that it grew from 3 cents in March 2020 to $2.34 in January 2022, an astronomical growth of 7700% in less than two years.

Less and less risky, but with high potential​

After BRN’s exponential growth through January 2022, the share price started a correction in line with the rest of the tech sector as the enthusiasm for speculative tech stocks started to wane due to fast rising interest rates. This share price decline, however, might not be all bad news for the true believers in BrainChip’s technology as it presents new opportunities to buy the stock at lower levels.

Many of the reasons that made BrainChip attractive in the tech boom are still in place. There are still chip shortages and car manufacturers still need the relevant semiconductor IP and the actual chips to give them an advantage over their competitors, or to play a role in ADAS and AV in the first place.

And BrainChip’s technology has kept showing more and more promise by successfully passing product development milestones. There is now a number of tier 1 companies testing the utility of BrainChip’s Akida AI processor kits for their respective applications, which increases the chances of getting some good news flow any time in the following months.

In other words, we believe BRN has largely completed its development stage and is now moving into the commercialisation stage under the leadership of new CEO Sean Hehir, who we spoke to recently. As a consequence, we believe BRN, the share, is getting less and less risky.

On top of that, BRN has just been admitted to the ASX 200, which will trigger mandatory institutional buying as BRN now falls within the investment mandate of many institutional investors that invest in the ASX 200.

Upside potential to $2.30​

As the interest rate hikes by central banks and the sell-down of risk assets continue for the foreseeable future and in the potential absence of any exciting news from BRN in the near term, we expect the share price to drift lower under its own weight.

However, in a more likely scenario, at least in our view, there will be successful development news from one or more of BRN’s Early Access Program customers or news around new commercial deals with tier 1 or tier 2 semiconductor companies. Given that the company is in discussions with many prospects at the same time, such news flow can be expected at any time and could have the potential to send the share price back up towards its all-time high of $2.34 in the initial market reaction to the news.

Hi DB.
As i mentioned in yesterdays post about the Shorting , wait to see if they (THM/HC/MF) have done more Shorts on Tuesday (yesterday) as the trading pattern seemed to suggest they had.
Todays action shows more "Shorting" activity thought it is very small really considering the weak market (ASX) today.

Well the Data is in and ............Yes they did take out some more "Shorts" yesterday - 3.8 Mil NEW shorts for Tuesday
after Mondays 3.3 Mil and Fridays 11.3 Mil.
Quite a lot of shorts................and the SP is still up around 0.90c aprox.

NOT going very good for them so far! lol

II just had an epithany Yak52..

It looks to me, like they are doubling down on their bets against Brainchip.

They could be in serious trouble here!

And I mean serious!

 

[Lex555]

I just watched this video, thanks for sharing it @stuart888.

The following is a bit of a rant, but I think it makes some valid points. I apologise in advance for the words that are spewing forth from my fingers. I hope I don‘t mislead too many, and hopefully help some.

For me, this video tells quite an intriguing story. I originally only watched it because I wanted to see how people from 1962 worked with computers of the day. But after watching it, I found It is actually quite revealing of just how grand Akida is. What an amazing quantum leap Akida represents. Especially when it gets LTSM and cortical columns working to even better emulate the human brain. That will allow prior experience and big picture thinking to come into play, even potentially pre-cognition.

Firstly, I noticed how absolutely stuck on binary logic these 1962 scientists where. They saw everything as yes or no. Which does work and has worked for decades. It’s just so bloody limiting.

This also emphasised just how dumb computers are! Computers blindly follow rules, and hence are completely at the mercy of the programmer. They just blindly apply the rules VERY quickly, and in a reproducible manner, and so appear to be clever.

The blocks problem was a particularly good example of this. For those who haven’t watched the video—Given a pattern of black and white blocks, and some rules about how the blocks can be placed, reproduce the pattern.

I believe Billy did follow the rules when he first solved the problem by adding two same coloured blocks that were not adjacent. The rules DO NOT say the blocks have to be adjacent. That was an adjunct added by the tester, and implied by the pictures. This must have been coded in the computer program, but human error neglected to add it to the written rules presented to Billy. I think the tester stated something like “place two blocks together”. Billy just interpreted the word together as simultaneous, or time adjacent, rather than spatially adjacent. A clever interpretation IMHO.

Billy got a typical response of “Oh well, yes, you did solve it, but not the way I wanted to you to solve it.”

So not wrong then! Just different, that kind of stuff the brain does well, and computers cannot do. Maybe not until now - or In the imminent future.

I was equally impressed by Billy‘s absolutely first attempt of exactly reproducing the pattern, by placing the blocks down one at a time. This shows how prior experience and non-binary logic works. He saw the big picture and devised a mechanism to solve it directly that didn‘t apply the rules. He determined that the rules were not the most efficient way to solve the problem.

Again, this is the kind of stuff an intelligent human brain does well.

The computer program, as it was programmed to do, and as limited by pure binary logic, looked at a single column at a time and rather inefficiently tried to resolve any issues in that column alone. Again, yes that works, it IS effective, but it isn‘t how the human mind solves a pattern matching problem.

Computing, since 1962, progressed to using bytes and words. Well the 1962 computers probably did use 4-bit bytes. But with modern computers using 64 bit words (and possibly even 128 bit words now) as complete logic blocks, applying masks to determine what the combination of bits mean. Boolean logic can even be applied directly to these, and even to matrices of these words, to solve more complex problems in a single pass.

This allowed computers to do more complex things quicker, but still in a rather unintelligent, always pre-programmed, way.

Bring in neuomorphic computing and Akida. Some of the examples given by Anil Manaker show logic, and weightings, going back to single bits where appropriate. This results in ultra-low power consumption. Extra nodes and layers are brought into play as needed. And Akida has the ability to learn and hence apply logic that is outside of the initial rules. Just like Billy did so many years ago!

Learning burns in a pathway and reverts back to single bit logic and instant recognition. The fact that Akida does this in single shot is far superior to even the human brain. We need repetition to burn memories. And the more repetition, the better.

Akida does truly more closely mimic the way the brain works, and even seems to exceed it in its learning capability. Bring on LTSM and cortical columns and the amount of information that can form a memory and achieve single bit-like efficiencies becomes immense. Very complex things can be learned And associated to other very complex things.

It seems we have come full circle, back to single bits, but we haven’t. The nueromorphic processor may indeed use single bits but not in the same stupid way the original purely boolean based computers and programmers did/do.

e.g. Imagine a 1000 x 1000 pattern of red dots with an unknown number of blue dots randomly placed within it. And lets refine this particular case to there only being a single blue dot. It is possible to apply 1962 logic to this and test each of the 1M bits in isolation. You have to test them all because you don’t know how many anomalies here are. And even once it corrects the anomaly, the program must continue to test all 1M dots, even if the first one was the one in error. The human brain (and Akida) would ignore all the sameness and zoom in to the anomoly and fix it directly, and in a single step.

This is where Akida is fantastic in scarcity situations. And they appear to be the predominant cases - i.e. find a face in a crowd.

Better still, Akida uses zero power if an anomalous blue dot does not appear.

I have seen an experiment that does just this, timing eye movements to work out when the anomaly is found. The eye focuses on the dot within milliseconds.

The 1962 written program may also be as fast as the human eye/brin in this situation, but it would consume millions of times more power (than Akida) in all the unnecessary testing of each and every pixel and will be about one million times slower than Akida, assuming same clock speed.

Now where have we heard that analogy used before?

Great post Sly, I found the scanning for blue dots illustration a great example of the brute force current computers use, and the revolution that Akida truely is

Awesome response and history from FF on this question posed above. Also to add on to this conversation and this is my experience and perspective.... if you are a IT hardware/IP developer you don’t want to be just used as research hardware.

This is a general clear sign that the tech is “not fully working as we would like yet” and “still in development”...ie “its got some bugs”

I come from the ICT world and the view to me of a hardware vendor just placing their new tech out in the world for “research use” screams that this tech is really just at “proof of concept” stage and they don’t guarantee anything about it as yet. So they are saying use it (most likely for free) and have fun but it may have problems and we don’t really support it fully but let us know about the problems so we can then fix them all as we go.

Brainchip have achieved “fully tested” and “production” status and to achieve that for bleeding edge AI tech is very difficult and time consuming(as most of us know now) and It now places Akida in a whole other league.

So it is great to get into universities and research groups now for Brainchip (while not generating much dollars) this will help generate the value of being an “industry standard” or “best practice” and is available for production/commercial use is one of the biggest benefits.

Intel and IBM have not yet achieved what Brainchip has as their chips are not finalised/solved to even start many rounds of “production testing” and has not achieved the final state of “production ready” status so it can be released to the world for real world commercial use.

Would a Uni prefer to study a theoretic product or a real world commercial product.

Saturation of Brainchips products are occurring now....how many NDA’s ...how many high profile names associated now or broken cover to basically say there is a best practice hardware to use for Neuromorphic computing ....it’s Brainchip. This to me means the Uni’s will literally be chasing down Brainchip products for use in classes over time as their is no substitute for the smarts or anything else in true production that comes close.

Thanks for the input Fb6666, I'm certainly grasping the insiders view on this topic now. Intel and IBM, just aren't competitive in this class obviously. Nice to have this clarified to my satisfaction.

Q. Do you have a fastback ?

Thanks again Fb6666

NVISO - webinar
It was great to watch and listen….

 

[Moonshot]

The nvisio webinar confirmed we are on a winner.. Tim was positively gushing about the potential of neuromorphic hardware coupled with nvisio software. Unregulated consumer goods followed by more regulated automotive and medical applications in short order.

 

[Boab]

Looked like a very nice ad for Akida.

 

[Hrdwk]

Yup great webinar and now I understand what NVISIO do and what role they play in the ecosystem . They answered two of my questions.

We just need the hardware partners to integrate our IP into their solutions for the NVISIO data model to use.

 

[Stable Genius]

Very good presentation. Glad the slides are going to be emailed out as I was watching it on my phone so it was a bit hard to read it all.

It very much sounds like NVISO have been working on their software for years and it’s only now that Brainchip has developed the first Neuromorphic AI chip that it is able to be run in a real time situation on the edge. I know we are glad of the partnership but I could guarantee that NVISO is too. Brainchip has enabled them ”To create an industry that didn’t exist before.”

I think I heard that somewhere before. Hopefully there will be many more new industries to follow.

Realistically it sounds like it will be some time to market: but I’m comfortable with that as it gives me more time to accumulate until the big explosion of sales occurs!

Thanks again Fb6666

A rhetorical question @hotty4040

Intel Capital is invested in Nviso, SiFive and Prophesee.

Why then are Nviso, SiFive and Prophesee not working with Intel’s Mike Davies and using Loihi 2?

My opinion only DYOR
