“and consumes less than 20 mW. Thats Milliwatts, or 1/1000 of a watt. We know of no competitor who can claim that, and still deliver about 1000 inferences per second.”

They can’t be too well informed

I tweeted him. Maybe he will have a look at Akida. Maybe not

Hi @wilzy

The following indicates that whatever TDK are using it is not AKIDA and it is far from as advanced in fact it is primitive in comparison:

“We also plan to further mature the embedded edge AI to enable it to continuously learn the situation at the point of installation and make autonomous decisions, thereby evolving the module to be able to support the types of advanced decision-making required at the forefront of integration.”

They are planning to have a plan without a timeframe.

They are silent on battery life. They also say they are in the throws of improving the battery which is a strange thing to say as you release a product.

I think we should hold close what the CEO Sean Hehir said at the AGM about claims being made that do not come near the AKIDA science fiction.

As you know it was Edge Impulse who used Science Fiction to describe AKIDA technology not Sean Hehir but I just like saying it because it is well ‘SCIENCE FICTION.’

Anyway that’s the last time I will use Science Fiction to describe AKIDA technology until the next time I use it.

Did I mention how being Science Fiction makes the Patents stronger and easier to defend.

You just have to love being SCIENCE FICTION.

I have a lot to do today up at the lake house so this will probably be last post but I truly recommend you open this link and read what product is being offered as a direct competitor to Brainchip and Nviso for in cabin monitoring of driver fatigue and attention then at the end of the article click on the link to obtain price comparisons for this product. While reading the prices keep firmly in mind that AKIDA1.0 costs $25.00 Australian and Nviso is simply software so pricing is clearly very flexible for volume sales.

Then ask yourself why would they bother???

As Molly would have said ‘Do yourself a favour.’ and open this link and the price comparison.

Hi FF,

Perhaps there is a slight possibility that this product may have AKIDA in it also?

The FOVIO chip used by Seeing Machines for this application is manufactured by Xilinx. The link between XILINX and BRN goes back to 2017 when Christoph Fritsch, (Senior Director for industrial, scientific and medical business at Xilinx), added, “Xilinx is at the forefront of artificial intelligence acceleration. BrainChip’s spiking neural network technology is unique in its ability to provide outstanding performance while avoiding the math intensive, power hungry, and high-cost downsides of deep learning in convolutional neural networks.”

I was told by my favourite high school English teacher Miss Langley back in the early days of education or so it seems now that the great science fiction writers will invariably write about future science that could come true as to do otherwise is to be writing science fantasy.

AKIDA as envisaged and written about in Peter van der Made’s book Higher Intelligence was as far as the majority of the scientific community considered akin to Science fiction and LeCunn from Nvidia was completely dismissive.

So what I will do is stop using Science Fiction made real when Peter van der Made and Anil Mankar are awarded the Nobel Prize.

BrainChip used a Xilinx FPGA to make the Brainchip Accelerator.




https://embeddedcomputing.com/techn...brainchip-for-object-recognition-surveillance

BrainChip releases Xilinx-based neural network acceleration board for object recognition, surveillance​

By OpenSystems Media​

September 12, 2017

BrainChip has released the BrainChip Accelerator, an 8-lane PCIe expansion board that is capable of delivering a 6x increase in the speed and accuracy of object recognition functions in BrainChip Studio software. In tandem, the BrainChip accelerator supports 16 simultaneous video channels per card, and can be deployed in existing video surveillance systems without requiring updated power supplies or thermal management equipment.​

The BrainChip Accelerator consists of six neuromorphic cores in a Xilinx Kintex Ultrascale FPGA. Each BrainChip Accelerator core performs user-defined image scaling, spike generation, and spiking neural network comparisons to identify objects.


This is a COTS product so there may not have been much exchange of technology:

https://www.xilinx.com/products/silicon-devices.html

... although they do make data centre accelerators:
https://www.xilinx.com/products/boards-and-kits/alveo.html

Xilinx have several AI patents.

 

[Fact Finder]

Sorry @JK200SX I got distracted by the tennis.

I don’t know is the simple answer but I have always believed Xilinx is somewhere in the Brainchip picture.

What you did not mention was they also helped with the FPGA on which they tested the AKIDA design and then used that FPGA to run the AERO 20 gas data set which achieved state of the art results and was peer reviewed and published.

It is absolutely clear that Xilinx is fully aware of AKIDA magic (see Peter van der Made) and what we need to discover is given this knowledge and a positive working relationship with Brainchip what profound event led Xilinx to turn its back and walk away when Socionext, Renesas, MegaChips, ARM, Intel, NASA, ISL, US Airforce Research, Edge Impulse, Prophesee, Nviso, VVDN, Mercedes Benz and others are doing the exact opposite.

Not sure I‘ve read about this before but now that Rob T ”Likes it” his Transformer comment makes more sense!

 

[Stable Genius]

I’m trying to keep up with it all. MagicEye is at CES as well!

 

[Stable Genius]

This may have been discussed previously, there’s that many products coming out it’s hard to keep up!
There’s no mention of Akida in this but the description of the products capabilities sound remarkably similar.

https://www.tdk.com/en/news_center/press/20230105_01.html

A better description of the product is the link below:

https://www.tdk.com/en/featured_stories/entry_046-sensor-micro-module.html

This might be the patent relative to the product; neural networks get a mention but not SNN or Akida/Brainchip.

No worries veggies, I look forward to your contributions I'm sure they will be great ( no pressure)
Yes the next 12 months and years to come shall be very lucrative for BRN and us holders imo.

IoMT = Internet of Medical Things = Akida 1000.

While I could be wrong, seems like the current Akida IP could be used near the Sensors on the left side of this graph.

This pattern matching should be more straightforward, and might not need extras provided by Akida 1500, or 2000 (soon to be forthcoming). Maybe Akida 500 is the need for lots of this IoMT sensor inference and machine learning.

Non-Disclosure Agreements are likely hiding all the medical interests/progress/traction.

Abstract
Internet of Things (IoT) enables different smart environment objects to communicate without involving humans. Recently, IoT has started a new challenge within the healthcare sector called the Internet of Medical Things (IoMT). The huge amounts of data generated by IoMT entities need to be analyzed in real-time to improve the performance and quality of service of the IoMT applications. Mobile Edge Computing-enabled 5G system is shown as a successful paradigm to address such an obstacle. Numerous frameworks are introduced in literature based on this idea. This paper presents a thorough discussion of MEC-based IoMT healthcare systems.

I like to think of the Non-Disclosure Agreements as wrapped presents sitting under the tree. Over time, these presents are going to be unwrapped!

One of the interesting things when watching the Samsung 2023 CES presentation was, the use of Blockchain technology. This in effort of security of Edge Devices.

"The company's solution, called Knox Matrix, is a novel application of blockchain tech on a very small scale, which could be an effective safeguard as people make their homes smarter.

To be clear, home devices that use Knox Matrix are only linked to a private blockchain, not any of the public ones tied to cryptocurrencies. It's a local arrangement meant as an alternative to cloud-based verification: Instead of needing to verify software online, the devices themselves look out for cyberattacks".

This is a great safety feature, leading to better consumer adoption.

Akida IP is going to be part of a Solution Stack. It could be used on any of the Samsung edge devices, and above that layer would be this blockchain security implementation.

I see no conflict. Like Rob T said, "more like a partner".

Regrets if posted before. Emphasizes for the knowledgeable the ramifications of Brainchip being invited to join IFS and vice versa. Good for Intel and great, great etc for Brainchip especially when the Akida tech is formally licensed.

 

[stuart888]

Very impressive at CES 2023 was the Mercedes CTO, Markus Schafer. They are going for the 360-degree customer experience, which is why they announced the huge investment into Mercedes Benz Charging Stations. They only want the best of everything, like their 31 Speaker Music System.

The fact that they chose Brainchip to be right at the heart of the consumer facing experience is flat out freaky fantastic. Having one of the first revenue streams via Mercedes Benz is very, very special.

That announcement might have been the first "sales secret sauce", likely opened up to more doors than our sales/implementation staff can deal with.
