Don’t ya just luv a little pillow talk?

It is perhaps debatable if the following comes under the banner of Beneficial AI, but it’s my attempt at combining dot joining and a touch of ‘fly on the wall’…

While most of the public attention has been on Australia’s intention to acquire eight nuclear powered subs, the AUKUS security partnership is much more. The US, UK and Oz are also collaborating on advanced technologies like hypersonic weapons, undersea intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance capabilities, to name but a few areas of interest. Other countries are likely to be invited to join the party.

According to my mates in Russell, AI will be front and centre in the development of these advanced technologies…the project is known as PILLAR 2.

Merry Christmas everybody…me myself personally will ‘be seeing my dad, my brother and sister, my gran and my mum…we’ll be drinking white wine in the sun’

Must Listen.

A commercial Loihi chip may be years away.

Loihi challenge is to develop a simpler way to program Loihi 1 & 2 that is not painful and requires you to have a PhD.

On top of this in a private communication between myself Tony Dawe and Peter van der Made stated that Loihi 2 runs at 1.5 to 3 watts and AKIDA 1.0 runs at uW’s to mW’s.

Six to eight years if you want to use Loihi 2 in your tech product. Sounds like the way to tech obscurity.

Wishing all holders a very Merry Chipmas

It’s truely an outstanding forum , one that certainly keeps me in a very calm & confident head space with my investment in Brainchip .

The achievements this year of the mighty chip in my view have been outstanding, particularly the partnerships formed with Arm & intel recently has in my viewed cemented the future of the company & confirmed to me it’s a future Blue Chip certainly.

Perhaps the performance of our CEO has been a little overlooked with all that’s been happening.
From an outside view , this guy has rolled up the sleeves & given the company a direct path to what he views successful commercialisation.

He’s identified the need for key personnel & gone out and successfully employed industry leaders , this to me is the mark of a very driven & respected man .

Merry Christmas

Morning Realinfo & fellow Chippers ,

Nothing specific on Brainchip in the paper today.

Interesting article on Australia's Land , Sea & Air roadmap ahead.

White Wine in the Sun by Tim Minchin would have to be my all-time favorite Christmas tune. Thanks for the reminder!
Thanks everyone, for your contributions to this sanctuary site. I know what I don't know so I need this intelligent input and logical analysis to sustain me through these more difficult times and empower me to hold tight til the upcoming payday. Tis a story I will regale my children and grandchildren with! Have a great Christmas and a safe and prosperous 2023 my fellow Chipsters.

If you don't have dreams, you can't have dreams come true!

As I said before, we owe Intel a debt of gratitude for the red herring of Loihi which has diverted potential competitors of Akida up a blind alley.

 

[Xray1]

The good thing is after the whole video she talks about brainchip in the end. I would think Mike davies would have seen the whole video before it was published considering his position, he would like to know what is going to be published . He let her mention brainchip akida in the end. Seems like hmmmmm.

I have notice in the last few days on Sydney Commercial TV, that DELL and INTEL are promoting each other in a joint commercial ........... Seems IMO as though Intel wants to improve their net working / associations of late.

Elon was live on twitter a few hours ago answering questions from listeners. People got to switch on their mics and speak to him. I logged on just as he mentioned energy efficiency and battery life. I clicked immediately to ask a question and braced myself, practicing what I was going to say about neuromorphic technology and whether he thought spiking neural networks would improve the performance of Tesla vehicles, but he stopped taking questions before they got to me.
I don’t know if I was devastated or relieved because I just about wet myself with nerves.
Anyway, just wanted to let you know that I could’ve had the answer to your question but instead I have a story about a missed opportunity of a lifetime

Wow, wow. wwwwow.

After listening to this EEJournal interview one doesn't need a PhD in neuromorphic inferencing to appreciate that Brainchip/Akida is light years ahead of Intel/Loihi for commercial implementation of neuromorphic whatever. I'm in a state of gobsmackery.......That is my favorite Australian state.

Curious to know how Intel handles their new formal relationship with Brainchip. Do they tout 'rival' technology. It will only bring more focus on how far behind they are. Do they buy Brainchip for what would have to be an outrageous sum....and fold on their Loihi aspirations. Do they suppress Akida's wonderfulness. What gives?

You can see that I am struggling mightily with this.

Help me find the roadmap.....to peace and prosperity and understanding

On a personal note.....leaving Waiheke Island tomorrow (it has been fabuloso)....for my home .. Mexico.

Feliz Navidad a todos y hasta pronto

It will in my opinion be impossible for Intel to suppress "AKIDA's wonderfulness" given that they do not have an exclusive relationship.

If they tried to downplay its applications any semiconductor customer would clearly ask the question "Well if that's the case why does ARM promote the use of AKIDA across virtually every use case you can possibly imagine???"

They may even ask "Well why does Edge Impulse say that it outcompetes a GPU running at 900 gigahertz."

They may even ask "Why does Mercedes Benz use it for voice and claim that it is up to 10 times more efficient than competitor solutions???"

They may even ask "If it is like you say why do Valeo and NASA trust them???"

They may even ask "Why is MegaChips so heavily promoting Brainchip and its AKIDA solution???"

They may even ask "Why is Prophesee partnering with them for event based sensors???"

They may even ask "Why is Renesas taping out an intelligent AKIDA powered MCU for automotive???

They may even ask "Why has Socionext launched a new AKIDA powered semiconductor range???

Personally how Intel handles the problem is irrelevant the fact that they have brought Brainchip and AKIDA technology into the fold clearly indicates they understand that this was essential if they are to remain relevant in the neuromorphic chip space.

While Mike Davies is trying to talk the talk Brainchip and AKIDA are actually walking the walk and as I said earlier increasing the technology lead they have with every single step.

Loihi 1 & 2 with the release of the Renesas AKIDA MCU falls six years behind. Three years of technology lead plus three years of product development.

Loihi 1 & 2 with the release of the Socionext AKIDA offering falls six years behind. Three years of technology lead plus three years of product development.

Loihi 1 & 2 with the Mercedes Benz and Valeo AKIDA powered product offerings in 2024 falls six years behind. Two years of technology lead plus four years of product development. Product development could be even longer as we have some uncertainty around the exact date they became involved with Brainchip.

Whether they are speaking about it openly or not Blind Freddie is of the opinion that if he knows these obvious facts that Intel must know and have a very large file of documents in which they have debated their present course of action leading to the obvious conclusion that we cannot beat them so we just have to join them or go the way of Kodak where neuromorphic computing is concerned.

Have a very Merry Christmas back in Mexico.

@charles2

I could be wrong but I see it as “If you can’t beat them; join them!”

Intel knows they are way behind in commercialising a product which is currently inferior and more expensive.

Edge Ai is on the cusp of exploding: within the next 12 months the first products will be hitting the market and there will be exponential growth. They don’t want to get left behind!

Intel needs to make money as do all businesses therefore they would rather make/sell products and make a slightly less profit by including Akida than no profit at all.

This is great for Brainchip as Intel can put their vast no. of engineers into creating products and their resources into advertising etc which will benefit Brainchip!


Also, I’m pretty sure Intel are building FABs and are going to be making a lot of profits from producing SOC’s as a supplier for companies such as Dell. So having them onboard the Brainchip Bus is a win for them and a win for us!

Merry Xmas!

Thanks for your reply, it’s well outside my understanding of technology. I only know how to turn a computer on and off

Mike drop from AM:

 

[TopCat]

200 million cameras at $10.00 each is a 2 billion dollar market but highly likely much larger as some cameras will be much more expensive but just one percent of a 2 billion dollar market is 20 million dollars.

Because some here are new to why I keep bringing up one percent a little bit of history.

Back at the HC cesspit a couple of the more intelligent worms attacked the idea that Brainchip would capture one hundred percent of the market faced with competition from the tech giants Nvidia, Intel, Samsung, Qualcomm, Google and Apple.

I approached this argument from the perspective that the Edge market both existing and still to be thought of was so huge that even capturing a tiny little one percent of that market was hugely rewarding for Brainchip with a profit margin of 97%.

I took this argument then to another level by issuing a challenge which was to put a compelling argument as to why Brainchip with the first commercial neuromorphic chip and IP in the market and a three year lead over its nearest competitor would not capture one percent of the addressable market.

Strangely no one ever took up this challenge.

Now one further point to consider and which I add to my one percent argument.

Development Time Lines:

We have seen from Sony and Prophesee, Brainchip and Renesas, Brainchip and Socionext that it takes approximately 3 years to develop a product from the point of technology adoption.

So consider this Brainchip stands with a three year technology lead soon to become five years with AKIDA 2.0.

If a company wants to implement a neuromorphic solution today it will be three years before they can buy an alternative solution to AKIDA and then a further three years to develop the desired product.

What this means is that failure to take up an AKIDA solution today by a company will mean a potential delay of six years or more until they can bring their product idea to market.

A company in the technology space that waits six years to capitalise on a product idea will most likely have badly missed the boat.

So while I use the one percent argument I personally like many here have much higher expectations than one tiny percent of the addressable market.

Indeed realistically if you consider Renesas, Socionext, MegaChips and Prophesee as standalone engagements I believe it is reasonable to argue they have secured for Brainchip already a percentage of market share over the next year or so far greater than one percent.

I will leave it to others to ponder the percentage points Edge Impulse, ARM and Intel will add to this secured percentage over the same time frame before Mercedes Benz, Valeo and Ford start to contribute in 2024.

It all comes together to make having a plan for ‘when not if’ compulsory.

Hi FF , further to your post, I really like where nViso are taking us with their Neuro Models apps. To me they seem that they are easily deployable and quick to get started. The one thing I don’t understand is how revenue would come in from the apps though. Would it be a one off license fee perhaps , or an amount for each app downloaded? Anyway, wishing everyone a safe and happy Christmas
