I have been wondering too if that is an option with the M4 for those clients wanting an AI accelerator or add on white label IP (Akida) for their "own" NPU.
Here is another case I'm trying to see how is set up but only just started digging.
These recent boards and latest NPUs from Kneron just come out the past month or so.
Maybe @Diogenese could cast an eye if it hasn't already been looked at or discussed yet?
Was something the in the wording of their new board which I've highlighted.
The NPU designed by ARM architecture...huh. Makes sense to say that about the M4 but the NPU?
Couple links below and the site has datasheet etc but doesn't explain much around the NPU and runs 2 X M4.
Did notice though the reference to LTSM in support models so maybe not related at all?

After the most recent AGM, I would have expected to see some sizable increase in the upcoming BRN company 4C revenue report especially given the fact that Sean H was so adamant at that meeting that we were to start now watching the quarterly results for anticipated financial progress.Goodbye to that Financial year...I'd suggest a lot of us made some profit, but I personally am not expecting to see any
revenue of any substance in the upcoming 4c being delivered later next month..if products had been released in the
previous 3 months, well, we would or someone would have that information and divulged it by now.
The only revenue would be from IP Licences...correct me if I've forgotten something, which does happen quite a bit these days, as in,
what did I come into this room for ?!!!
Depending on all this shorting behaviour and the "washing" that's been taking place this month (in my opinion) the share price could
well take another hit in late July, as the recurring pattern of no revenue, seems to send a message to shorters, downrampers to try to
savage our stock once again, and (in my opinion) this pattern will only change once "explosive revenue" shows it's face, and is repeated
quarter on quarter....which I'm expecting like many of you.
My love affair with Brainchip is as strong as ever, too emotional for some ?....that thought just makes me laugh
From a perfect clear evening in Perth (but cool).....Tech x
Yes correct @Stable Genius i am also wants to listen to this guy specially after joining BRN! I listened to all his speeches and talks before joining our company and he was great!
I think his marketing strategy and philosophy on value and product preposition based on collaboration between market technology participants and key players because he strongly believes that in today’s market you will never win the market share alone, you need to partner with other market players so everyone is winning & sharing and your business model is going to more durable and sustainable in the long term. Which is great strategy IMO and this is what BRN is doing and executing right now with forming all these partnerships so far.
Cheers

US2017330069A1 MULTI-LAYER ARTIFICIAL NEURAL NETWORK AND CONTROLLING METHOD THEREOF
A multi-layer artificial neural network including a plurality of artificial neurons, a storage device, and a controller is provided. The plurality of artificial neurons are used for performing computation based on plural parameters. The storage device is used for storing plural sets of parameters, each set of parameters being corresponding to a respective layer. At a first time instant, the controller controls the storage device to provide a set of parameters corresponding to a first layer to the plurality of artificial neurons so that the plurality of artificial neurons form at least part of the first layer. At a second time instant, the controller controls the storage device to provide a set of parameters corresponding to a second layer to the plurality of artificial neurons so that the plurality of artificial neurons format least part of the second layer.
I see they also dabbled in MemRistors:
US10839893B2 Memory cell with charge trap transistors and method thereof capable of storing data by trapping or detrapping charges
A memory cell includes a first charge trap transistor and a second charge trap transistor. The first charge trap transistor has a substrate, a first terminal coupled to a first bitline, a second terminal coupled to a signal line, a control terminal coupled to a wordline, and a dielectric layer formed between the substrate of the first charge trap transistor and the control terminal of the first charge trap transistor. The second charge trap transistor has a substrate, a first terminal coupled to the signal line, a second terminal coupled to a second bitline, a control terminal coupled to the wordline, and a dielectric layer between the substrate of the second charge trap transistor and the control terminal of the second charge trap transistor. Charges are either trapped to or detrapped from the dielectric layer of the first charge trap transistor when writing data to the memory cell.
More recently, they have been dabbling in back propagation training for NNs, but that document is in Chinese:

But do they have anything we need to worry about?

Kneron Unveils Next-Gen AI Chip — No Compromise AI For Smart Devices
Kneron’s KL720 chip provides best-in-class performance, energy-efficiency, privacy, and security for consumer smart devicesSan Diego, CA, August 27th, 2020
KL720 is not only the most powerful and energy-efficient chip Kneron has built, it also outclasses competing offerings. Compared to Intel’s Movidius AI chips, KL720 is twice as energy-efficient for similar performance and at half the cost. A DJI drone that currently uses a Movidius chip would double its battery life by using a Kneron chip, without any loss of power. Kneron’s solution can be used in devices that would not be practical for Intel’s chips, either because they’re too expensive or they require too much battery power to operate. KL720 is also 4x more efficient than Google’s Coral edge TPU according to MobileNetV2 benchmark results.

I believe they sell 40 or 50 million-ish a year (they never release exact sales numbers). Akida inside would definitely make me switch from Google to Apple.

What is RISC-V?
BY ERIC STEPHEN BROWN, 08 JUNE, 2021
SiFive — Silicon Valley based SiFive, which is staffed by some of the founders of RISC-V, has led early development in core IP and silicon, both in microcontrollers and higher-end Linux chips. Last fall, SiFive announced a 64-bit, Cortex-A55 like FU740 SoC and launched its second Linux-driven dev kit based on the penta-core FU740 called the HiFive Unmatched. SiFive recently announced a SiFive Intelligence X280 core with AI capabilities enabled via RISC-V’s new RV64X vector extensions. We can soon expect to see a Cortex-A72-like U8-Series.
SiFive cores are also being used by other chipmakers. Microchip, which has been a major RISC-V player in MCUs, combined SiFive’s earlier FU540 cores with its own PolarFire FPGA in its Linux-ready PolarFire SoC, which is available on a PolarFire SoC Icicle Kit.

Neuromorphic Computing Brings AI to the Edge
How conventional processor architecture is becoming a thing of the past
Connected devices driven by 5G and the Internet of Things (IoT) are everywhere from autonomous vehicles, smart homes, healthcare to space exploration. Devices are becoming more intelligent. Massive amounts of data from multiple sources need to be processed quickly, securely, and in real time, having low latency. Cloud-based architecture may not fulfil these needs of futuristic AI-based systems, that require intelligence at the edge and the ability to process sparse events. Neuromorphic computing resolves the issues of the conventional processor architecture or the von Neumann architecture by separating processing and memory units. It mimics the human brain and its cognitive functions such as interpretation, autonomous adaptation; as well as supports in-memory processing at higher speeds, complexity, and better energy efficiency. As research continues, neuromorphic processors will advance edge computing capabilities and bring AI closer to the edge.

Description
PRIORITY CLAIM
This U.S. patent application claims priority under 35 U.S.C. § 119 to: India Application No. 202021025784, filed on Jun. 18, 2020. The entire contents of the aforementioned application are incorporated herein by reference.
TECHNICAL FIELD
This disclosure relates generally to gesture recognition, and, more particularly, to system and method of gesture recognition using a reservoir based convolutional spiking neural network.
BACKGROUND
In an age of artificial intelligence, robots and drones are key enablers of task automation and they are being used in various domains such as manufacturing, healthcare, warehouses, disaster management etc. As a consequence, they often need to share work-space with and interact with human workers and thus evolving the area of research named Human Robot Interaction (HRI). Problems in this domain are mainly centered around learning and identifying of gestures/speech/intention of human coworkers along with classical problems of learning and identification of surrounding environment (and obstacles, objects etc. therein). All these essentially are needed to be done in a dynamic and noisy practical work environment. As of current state of the art vision based solutions using artificial neural networks (including deep neural networks) have high accuracy, however the models are not the most efficient solutions as learning methods and inference frameworks of the conventional deep neural networks require huge amount of training data and are typically compute and energy intensive. They are also bounded by one or more conventional architectures that leads to data transfer bottleneck between memory and processing units and related power consumption issues. Hence, this genre of solutions does not really help robots and drones to do their jobs as they are classically constrained by their battery life.
SUMMARY

PRIORITY CLAIM
This U.S. patent application claims priority under 35 U.S.C. § 119 to: India Application No. 202021025784, filed on Jun. 18, 2020. The entire contents of the aforementioned application are incorporated herein by reference.
TECHNICAL FIELD
This disclosure relates generally to gesture recognition, and, more particularly, to system and method of gesture recognition using a reservoir based convolutional spiking neural network.
BACKGROUND
In an age of artificial intelligence, robots and drones are key enablers of task automation and they are being used in various domains such as manufacturing, healthcare, warehouses, disaster management etc. As a consequence, they often need to share work-space with and interact with human workers and thus evolving the area of research named Human Robot Interaction (HRI). Problems in this domain are mainly centered around learning and identifying of gestures/speech/intention of human coworkers along with classical problems of learning and identification of surrounding environment (and obstacles, objects etc. therein). All these essentially are needed to be done in a dynamic and noisy practical work environment. As of current state of the art vision based solutions using artificial neural networks (including deep neural networks) have high accuracy, however the models are not the most efficient solutions as learning methods and inference frameworks of the conventional deep neural networks require huge amount of training data and are typically compute and energy intensive. They are also bounded by one or more conventional architectures that leads to data transfer bottleneck between memory and processing units and related power consumption issues. Hence, this genre of solutions does not really help robots and drones to do their jobs as they are classically constrained by their battery life.

Afternoon Chippers,
Great find on the above Fact Finder.
Hard to believe for the price of a Iceberg Lettuce, $9.90 AU, (which is 96% water) one if so inclined could purchase 11.927 shares in Brainchip, the most revolutionary tech company going, on the global stage.
Rob Telson was correct when he said tip of the Iceberg, 1 BRN share pressently would only buy 0ne twelfth of a lettuce..... just the tip.
Some times one just has to laugh at the stupidity in the world.
Top job all with all the sleuthing , it will happen.... eventually.

TECHNICAL FIELD
This disclosure relates generally to gesture recognition, and, more particularly, to system and method of gesture recognition using a reservoir based convolutional spiking neural network.
BACKGROUND
In an age of artificial intelligence, robots and drones are key enablers of task automation and they are being used in various domains such as manufacturing, healthcare, warehouses, disaster management etc. As a consequence, they often need to share work-space with and interact with human workers and thus evolving the area of research named Human Robot Interaction (HRI). Problems in this domain are mainly centered around learning and identifying of gestures/speech/intention of human coworkers along with classical problems of learning and identification of surrounding environment (and obstacles, objects etc. therein). All these essentially are needed to be done in a dynamic and noisy practical work environment. As of current state of the art vision based solutions using artificial neural networks (including deep neural networks) have high accuracy, however the models are not the most efficient solutions as learning methods and inference frameworks of the conventional deep neural networks require huge amount of training data and are typically compute and energy intensive. They are also bounded by one or more conventional architectures that leads to data transfer bottleneck between memory and processing units and related power consumption issues. Hence, this genre of solutions does not really help robots and drones to do their jobs as they are classically constrained by their battery life.

Haven't looked much into TATA & your post prompted a look.
On Arijit Mukherjee and the below may been posted previously(?) I see he also co-authored a white paper as per snip below.
Is on the TCS website and whilst doesn't appear dated it can be seen that the links on the bottom of pages to some reference material they quote has access dates late Feb 22 which suggests maybe a Mar 22 release earliest?
