Thnx @Boab
Myself, i am really looking forward to Tesla Ai day ( Sept 30 ) , as Musk has indicated some really big news coming out.
Akida powered Optimus ....................

And here we all are thinking Musks recent Tesla share selling ( $9 billion ? ) is for the possible acquisition of Twitter .....

I know where his money would/might be better spent, ................... BUT, ............. he"ll only get a "minority partnership" for that price.

In regards to our discussion about GrAI Matter.

• former CEO Mr. Dinardo confirmed that AKD1000 being digital was directly scalable from 28nm to 14nm to 7nm and that at each scale down the performance would increase and the power consumption would go down at the same time
• TSMC 7nm to a 5nm for an NPU would reduce power consumption by 25% as stated below
• So what would the performance numbers be moving from 28nm to 5nm for Akida?.

Anil Mankar drove the decision to use 28nm because of three factors:

1. Yield - 28nm is a proven established process node and was most likely to be successfully produced first time round.

2. At 28nm the pricing is still relatively inexpensive but going smaller exponentially increases the price.

3. At 28nm the revolutionary best in class nature of AKD1000 are fully displayed and any sophisticated OEM or Tier 1 customer will understand that being digital performance and power use will only improve if they want to take it to a more expensive process mode such as 5nm as mentioned by Peter van der Made.

“Process Node as a Variant in TOPS/W
Understanding the underlying conditions for the testing helps establish an equal playing field for comparing TOPS results for different NPUs. Ideally, benchmarking conditions can be configured or interpolated to closely match your application requirement. But you will likely need to take steps when comparing NPUs including the normalization of processing frequency, the use of an identical neural network(s) with identical precision, and the application (or not) of sparsity and pruning throughout.

We now need to consider the process node as it relates to power consumption. One of the major advantages of moving to smaller process nodes is smaller nodes generally require less power for the same action. For instance, an NPU in TSMC 5nm will likely consume about 25% less power than the same NPU in TSMC 7nm. This is true for both IP and chip-based NPUs. Because process node has a powerful influence on performance it must be considered when comparing benchmark data. It is important to ask an NPU supplier whether the power numbers are measured in actual silicon, extrapolated from actual silicon, or are based on simulation. If actual silicon was used, then the vendor should indicate which process node”

Short video from the ASX investor.....

What's the name of this ASX investor guy ?.

Some great insights emanate from his blogs', I find all them most intriguing. He has a good " head on his shoulders " attitude to all of his subject matter.

It would be nice for him to reveal more of his insights into the Brainchip story as he perceives it currently, perhaps he will in the near future. Hope so.

Anyway chippers, our future, in Brainchip, is looking more assured as time progresses, this, I have know doubts about now.

We do not need to do anything more with LDA until next year. Our obligation is to raise another A$15M no later than 31-Dec-23. We have not decided when we will do that yet but will keep our eye on the market and of course our cash balances which are adequate for now.

As long as the predicted revenue starts to flow and increase into the 2023 year, well, raising another 15M by the contracted timeline will
mean not (hopefully) having to issue many shares, the nearer we move towards 31 Dec 2023 I'd be wanting to see our share price well
north of $3.00 by that point...some of you will be thinking that, that's possibly a rather light prediction, but the truth is, not even the company
can forward predict what the share price will be starting into 2024, and that's even being in the box seat !

Not jumping to any conclusions but this is what comes up on Unity's Partners page on their website.

Hey Team,

I just wanted to re-visit the Unity Technologies and Mercedes collaboration because I believe there are several important points that are worth highlighting, particularly considering BrainChip has obviously worked VERY SUCCESSFULLY with Unity on the new infotainment operating system which was previewed in the truly amasing Mercedes Vision EQXX concept car - given Akida was/is the actual AI brain-power behind the EQXX infotainment system.

In my humble opinion, I think it would be very unlike if Unity didn't want to pursue other projects with BrainChip especially since together they successfully developed visuals that are " like nothing you've ever seen in the car industry".

• DId you know that "Unity Technologies is an expert in real-time 3D platforms and powers 70 per cent of all mobile games on the market. It is also a leader in augmented and virtual reality technologies".
• The new Unity MB.OS is set to debut in 2024 across the Mercedes vehicle portfolio.
• One article says "Unity's game engine elevates the UI to a new level of digital luxury, with new 3D capabilities and visuals that are like nothing you've ever seen in the car industry".
• One article says "Keep an eye out for more innovations from Unity that enhance HMI design and development". Could this be hinting that further collaborations with BrainChip may be in the pipe-line?

All of the points above can be verified in the links below.

DYOR!

Hi ui,

My understanding is that the 7nm is the size of the smallest line thickness they can produce using the particular lithographic etching technique. This would reduce the size of the transistors and the distance between them, but there may not be a direct linear size reduction.

Getting down to the smaller sizes, they use FinFET, where the transistor is turned on its side so the "area" dimension is perpendicular to the plane of the silicon, and the thickness determines how much space the transistor takes up on the chip. I suppose that the transistor density for FinFET must factor in the layer thickness and the number of layers.

I think the limit on the actual size of the silicon chip would be determined by the external wires. With the identical circuit layout, they still have to attach the same number of external wires, and that gets very fiddly.

 

[Bravo]

I think we can safely assume the next generation will use Akida in 2024. Not before. I'm confident Akida will be used in all four main areas: powertrain, autonomous driving, infotainment, and body and comfort systems. First time I've read anywhere they are going to use a complete new MBUX infotainment platform in 2024

Mercedes-Benz will introduce a new operating system across its models for the 2024 model year.
The new operating system, simply dubbed Mercedes-Benz Operating System, or MB.OS, will be developed by Unity Technologies and replace the existing MBUX infotainment platform used by all Mercedes models.

Interesting...This article which describes the new Unity MB.OS hints that it may be available next year??? So it looks like @Okeydokey01 could be right about the model years versus calendar years!!!!

It also says "If Mercedes follows the same kind of rollout that it did with MBUX, we’d expect to see MB.OS in A-Class and C-Class models first, followed by everything else".

Neuromorphic Computing for Autonomous Racing

With the rise of successful uses of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) for a wide variety of applications in the last decade, there has been a corresponding increase in interest in applying AI and ML methods to develop intelligent autonomous systems

Algorithm: EONS For training and designing an SNN for this task, we use Evolutionary Optimization for Neuromorphic Systems (EONS) [22]. EONS is based on evolutionary algorithms and trains SNNs for deployment to neuromorphic hardware

We use the LIDAR sensor as the observation, and we utilize information about distance traveled, collisions, and laps completed as part of our fitness evaluation

SUMMARY AND FUTURE WORK Here, we demonstrate a workflow for training a neuromorphic SNN in simulation targeting a particular hardware platform. We demonstrate the success of that workflow on an autonomous racing task. Our next step is to deploy the SNN shown in Figure 4 to 𝜇Caspian and integrate 𝜇Caspian onto the physical car shown in Figure 1.
