BRN Discussion Ongoing

[Cyw]

It is a bit sad to see shareholders getting excited about a 2.5c rise in share price. Still remember the glorious days when it jumped 30 or 40c a day. Those happy days will come again, guess we just have to wait.

 

[FJ-215]

Big show happening in Jan 5th-8th.
On the BrainChip website they are asking if anyone wants to make an appointment with them at the show.
Hopefully a bit of networking for our wonderful team.

CES - The Most Powerful Tech Event in the World

CES® is the most powerful tech event in the world — the proving ground for breakthrough technologies and global innovators. Owned and produced by the Consumer Technology Association (CTA)®, CES is the only trade show that showcases the entire tech landscape at one event.

G'day Boab,

So we are going to the Big Show, very nice.

Can't find us in the exhibitor directory, wonder who we might be sharing a booth with?

Is episode 22 worth watching or just give it a miss?
Also going through a bit of a crisis here. Have found a whole lot of respect for Elon musk and Kanye west recently.

G'day Rise,
I say give it a go. Love this forum but I think we get a bit myopic at times. Some seem disappointed Sally didn't go weak at the knees and gush at the very mention of Akida. The answer to that is in the title.....

Episode 22 – BrainChip discusses AI from the outside looking in with Sally Ward Foxton​

If you are investing in edge technology or thinking about it, it's a very good overview of what is happening in this space.

Jury out on Elon, give yourself an uppercut for mentioning Kanye.

They'll be there somewhere. Perhaps they haven't ironed all the wrinkles out of the tablecloth yet

Wonder if they stuck with the old and a few tweaks or popped something else in

This is interesting for us as we know we are liked by Tata.
They also have a partnership with Renesas and are also pivoting to electric vehicles.

Sheesh.. Renesas.. Brainchip @ CES. Some more solid exposure coming up. Excited to see if anything new is revealed.. *cough* Akida 2K plz.

 

[TechGirl]

Hi 7of7

Well you can tell the others that AKIDA has the game sown up. It has the highest performance and a dramatically lower price point than Intel's Loihi and IBM's True North.

AKIDA 1.0 with all the bells and whistles is about $25.00 Australian. If you want the IP it is considerably cheaper and it is cheaper again if you do not require all the nodes. Renesas licencing just two nodes paid considerably less than what MegaChips did for the full AKIDA 1.0 IP.

Over the years I have heard various prices for a single 14nm Loihi 1 chip which ranged from $80 to $170 Loihi 2 at 7nm is going to be much more expensive. In addition at least at this stage they do not offer IP and their chip design does not allow for selling of just part of the neural fabric. Indeed to achieve the best performance they seem mostly to offer Loihi 1 and 2 in two chip configurations at least with the latest Loihi 2 offering being a board with eight Loihi 2 chips.

So I am not sure what the discussion is you have been having in Germany but it needs to be reconsidered as Brainchip has cancelled out the opposition in this space on price as well as with Science Fiction performance.

My opinion only DYOR

AKIDA BALLISTA

Sorry if mentioned before.....

It's a bit confusing. BMW will be using Valeo's Domain Controller powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon SoCs. The ADAS domain controller will host Valeo’s software platform for low-speed maneuvering (sounds like Valeo's Valet Service), as well as software assets from BMW and Qualcomm for driving automation. BMW “Neue Klasse” will also feature the next generation of Valeo’s ultrasonic sensors, the full set of surround view cameras, as well as a new multifunctional interior camera that will contribute to improved safety and create a new level of user experience.” No Lidar

Most of the sensors are Valeo's which will hopefully incorporate Akida IP. Controlling the volume of data from the sensors/cameras etc to the domain controller is the key so you don't overload it with useless data. Valeo said they will develop and produce the ADAS domain controller capable of managing all data flows from all ADAS sensors (does this include from SNN from their own sensors/cameras) in BMW Group vehicles based on the “Neue Klasse” platform. They seem to be making a point in emphasising all when they could have easily said - Valeo will develop and produce the ADAS domain controller capable of managing data flows from ADAS sensors

This was an interesting paragraph - "Equipped with some of the most powerful automotive processors in the market (not the most), the system being developed by Valeo, BMW Group and Qualcomm is able to obtain real-time mapping and understanding of the car’s surroundings as well as the interior of the vehicle. New features and upgrades will be added throughout the car’s lifecycle".

I think they are too far down the road in developing Snapdragon to go back and be ready by 2025 which seems to be the date every luxury producing automaker is trying to meet with their new science fiction vehicles. There is an almighty existential race going on with automakers new and old atm to grab EV market share as ICE vehicles in most western countries will soon be banned and they're also worried the dates could be moved forward depending on global warming.

Following on, there was an article in the Automotive News Europe on the 17th of March which said - BMW and Qualcomm have both said that automakers should not develop unique software systems that cannot be shared - I believe they are having a dig at Mercedes-Benz because they're behind the 8-ball. As we know MB are developing their own OS as well. BMW has backed the wrong horse and they know it. Sharing with other automakers sounds like trying to keep them at BMW's level and not surpass them with a superior ADAS like MB. Stellantis haven't fallen for it.

BMW, Qualcomm to offer autonomous-driving platform to third parties

After the platform is used in BMW vehicles, it will be offered to other automakers and suppliers.
