BRN Discussion Ongoing

[Steve10]

I have been looking at Edge Impulse blogs and noting there are 60,000+ developers running 130,000+ projects the following seems even to this old technophobe significant:

“Deployment Options​

Any model that has been developed in the impulse design on Edge Impulse Studio can be deployed to BrainChip Akida target devices. In order to download these models for custom deployments, developers must choose the BrainChip MetaTFTMmodel block (refer Figure 5a) under the deployment stage to obtain a .zip file with the converted model in it. Alternatively, there is also a BrainChip Akida PCIe deployment block (refer Figure 5b) available which will generate a pre-built binary that can be used with Edge Impulse Linux CLI to run on any compatible Linux installation where this board is installed.

The pre-built binary that is provided from the deployment block also has in-built tools that provide performance metrics for the AKD1000 mini PCI reference board (refer Figure 7). This is a very unique integration as developers can not only deploy their favorite projects to BrainChip Akida devices but can also capture information such as efficiency that help build a prototype system with Akida technology”

BrainChip Akida™ Platform Features in Edge Impulse

This blog highlights the new features with BrainChip technology that are now available in Edge Impulse Studio.

www.edgeimpulse.com

Unless I am completely missing the point what Edge Impulse is saying is that any of the existing 130,000 projects can be simply deployed to AKIDA and you will be provided with performance figures so you can see the advantages such as they may be of running on AKIDA.

Later in this blog they talk about things an advanced user could additionally do so again this suggests that checking to see if AKIDA will improve performance is as simple as falling off a technology log.

This suggests at least to me that 1% is a very conservative estimate of what is happening in the Edge Impulse developer world where AKIDA is concerned.

Yes. That's why BrainChip appears on their platform alongside Arduino, Nvidia, Texas Instruments, Synaptics & others.

You develop the Edge Impulse ML algo & then have the option to load it onto a chip of your choice listed on their platform.

Hi @Food4 thought

Firstly if you listen closely you will hear Simon Thorpe say Brainchip has licensed. This dates the video to well before Brainchip bought JAST out right.

Secondly my memory is that this particular lecture was posted in 2021.

Thirdly Simon Thorpe has been delivering this same lecture time and again in English and French for as long as I have been researching Brainchip.

Fourthly as the full text of the JAST patent has been available for years there is nothing confidential in Simon Thorpe’s lecture.

Finally Peter van der Made possibly as early as 2019 publicly stated there were issues with JAST which they had modified to achieve what they did with the AKIDA design.

Then as for the secret sauce @Diogenese picked up first that Brainchip’s secret sauce is actually in the design of the neural fabric.

So absolutely nothing of value in the earlier post which led to your question.

Thanks for you amazing knowing the knowens that I did not know.
You constantly amaze me.

Are their any pearlers I missed in the last week that the 999 eyes picked up

I wonder if any of the 60,000 developers have run what they have developed on a Nvidia GPU then on a Brainchip AKD1000 and discovered that there was no difference in performance but that one cost $30,000 and one cost $50.00 like those other researchers???

No opinion just a thought so DYOR

It's OK FF, I bow to your explanation above

Apologies if this is common knowledge?

Hi @Rise from the ashes

Apart from the new partnerships which you would know about I think the above post by @Tothemoon24 is the most significant FACT revealed as it feeds credibility into a whole range of dots that others have uncovered.

Yes already picked up that one, so all up to date then with what has been found so far. Cheers for the reply.

I wonder if Elon is going to pick up a few BRN shares while they're still cheap as chips? No pun intended.

Dogecoin (DOGE) Fan Elon Musk Says He’s Moving from Crypto to AI, Here’s Why

Innovative tech mogul and DOGE supporter has posted surprising crypto-AI tweet

u.today

yes well he certainly can afford to buy the entire amout of shares which will be available Monday and then jiust hold them for a few years just to annoy the shit out of the shorters

I'm going to claim some credit, for the prodding that led to @Tothemoon24's response..

 

[Steve10]

This is what Edge Impulse can do. In this video synthetic data is used to train a model for conveyor belt counting.

Once trained it can then be deployed to suit the different device choices on their platform at 9min 26sec mark in video.

At 18min 56sec he discusses how Edge Impulse adds value by allowing customers to develop products fast & scale up quickly from nothing to development prototype.

I suppose I should elaborate on the reason why I said "yes" to the question of whether Mercedes will mandate the use of Akida with Luminar and it's because of something that Christophe Perillat CEO of Valeo said previously (all-be-it in French which had to be translated into English). Christophe said there is one thing in common with the 2 cars that achieved Level 3 and this element was an extraordinary sensor. So presuming the extraordinary thing about which he speaks is Akida, which is entirely conceivable since incorporating Akida into Valeo's lidars has been the whole point of the partnership between Valeo & BrainChip, then it wouldn't be a stretch of the imagination to conceive of other lidar companies jumping onto the Akida bandwagon, least they get left behind eating their competitors dust.

Luminar's lidar allows the system to operate at speeds up to 80 miles per hour, where as the Drive Pilot equipt with Valeo's lidar allows for hands-free, eyes-off driving up to 40 mph on certain highways. It's really is a cat eat cat world out there and IMO BrainChip would not be limit themselves to creating partnerships with multiple companies offering the same products.

Mercedes will be able to say ' hand on heart' that they use the same AI stuff as NASA.
Sounds impressive anyway.

Thanks for the read. As pvdm said the significance of the MC deal is not fully appreciated yet. Well something similar I can't quite remember now

Photo of used dishes collection robot in ski resort Japan. Some annoyance when I took a screwdriver to breakfast to have a look at the chip inside.......

 

[Violin1]

Does that actually patrol around?

Yep. You put used trays in it and when it's full it drives into the kitchen, dodging people, to be unloaded. Just couldn't resist taking a photo for the 1000 eyes!

Appreciate you thinking of us, I'm always intrigued by the uptake of new innovations.
