I know we simply can't be in anything on the market without any ip contracts being signed.. with the exception of the 2 signatures we have already with Renesas and Mega Chips. And I know we want to sell IP exclusively... but the question I would like answered is.. is it possible we are selling Chips to some Companies that might want to develop them into products with thier own people??? Maybe no need to be an announcement on ASX for that??? Maybe need to wait and see the Revenue???
Just thought I would put it out there ;-)

That is supposedly what the Early Access Program (EAP) was, sadly the company has gone very quiet on the matter.

I did mention this in discussion with a company employee, who stated that nobody had dropped out of the program, and that testing was taking longer than they anticipated… or words to that effect.

My issue here is that the former CEO (LDN) was very vocal about this program, and since his departure, very little information has been released about it… correct me if I’m wrong, but actually nothing has been mentioned about it officially. I find that strange and have been very vocal myself on the forums over recent years about better transparency on it - often being hit with abuse from other posters.

It’s worth noting that the EAP was only designed for tech manufacturers to test integration and POC of Akida though, and if successful an offical material contract would be required (and be announced on the ASX) before production could take place. In short, you won’t see this in the revenue report - it would be announced prior to revenue.

What is Edge AI?​

Edge AI performs computation that is necessary for AI at the edge device of each field without sending the data to the cloud. The stand-alone operation without connecting to the internet can protect privacy, achieve real-time performance, ensure security, so it is advantageous to the cloud.

• 

MegaChips Edge AI Solution​

We have 2 kinds of solutions of AI cores to realize Edge AI.

• BrainChip: Lower cost / Low power consumption AI accelerator (Support on-chip learning）
• Quadric: General-purpose AI processor (DSP/CPU functions incorporated)

BrainChip​

Combining BrainChip’s revolutionary neuromorphic technology that holds on-chip training function with MegaChips advanced integration technology will contribute to solve customer’s various problems.

• BrainChip
• 

Quadric​

Combining Quadric’s industry’s first general-purpose neural processing unit (GPNPU) with MegaChips ASIC solutions provides customers a wide range of solutions in the products with Edge AI functions.

• Quadric
• 

Evaluation Kit​

• 

This is the development kit with BrainChip AKD1000.
Customers can confirm actual operation, functions and performance with their own system.

• 

This is the development kit with Quadric q16 for the customers considering ASIC development using Quadric’s technology.
This kit enables a performance evaluation by simulation in conjunction with hardware function and performance evaluation.

There are some certainties in life, Death, Taxes and this post being the top rated post for the day/week/month!!!!! Love it.

And as expected, I wish the Stock market was this easy to predict!!!

Wow .... nice find Jesse .... time for a happy dance

This is worth a listen for those that have time.

Very insightful (sometimes rambling) discussion about the current AI developments with Jim Keller who previously worked with Apple and AMD so I would consider him a thoughtful industry insider. He’s been in the game for 40 years so he know the tech, history and industry quite well!

His opinion is SNN won’t be successful But I’m hoping he is proven wrong there!

https://www.eetimes.com/jim-keller-on-ai-risc-v-tenstorrents-move-to-edge-ip/

I think rather he said that he does not believe that SNN emulates the way the brain works..... he did not say it won't be successful from what I recall.

He further implies that CNN matches the way we think and learn more accurately than we recognize.

On that front I think he has it completely wrong based on power requirements and the results from studies on how we learn.

Finding patterns. A Key to intelligence in man...


I just love how by logical process of elimination and measuring real world results Simon Thorpe excluded certain models.
Part of this process was looking at the brain architecture and specifications!!! lol.
Uses 20watts, runs at 1Khz and there is about 10ms latency between different layers..... worth the watch if you haven't before.

In the end this is how JAST was developed which is core to Akida and was purchased by us a while back.

There is a thread on JAST.

All roads lead to JAST

What is JAST? https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Amirreza_Yousefzadeh/publication/319410728_Unsupervised_learning_of_repeating_patterns_using_a_novel_STDP_based_algorithm/links/5b4932cc0f7e9b4637d5e6ba/Unsupervised-learning-of-repeating-patterns-using-a-novel-STDP-based-algorithm.pdf...

My understanding was that we are engaging with EAPs through out the development phases for initial/continuous feedbacks to build a product that meets market requirements but obviously it didnt really work out well for our first product...based on our current revenue and lack of new IP contracts for past 2 years+

 

[Gazzafish]

Like I’ve said in the past, I do understand we are focused on the bigger picture and beneficial AI to help mankind but I can’t understand why a toy company hasn’t picked up Akida and put it inside a cuddly doll. With face and speech recognition it can say loving words ONLY to the designated owner of the toy and even maybe recognise other family members and say different things. Without internet connectivity there’s no security risk and I’d bet they would sell more than rubik sold of cubes… It would be the highest sought after Xmas present world wide I’d predict…be a very quick easy cash injection for the company….. just my thoughts.. DYOR.

Isn't it great that they have bought extra licenses and were proud to say they were part of Akida 1500 back-end design.

Oh how I wait for the day of an announcement.... $2.30 is half way compared to the next boom.
Hang in there chippers.

Great find @chapman89

Could this be the reason why MegaChips did the back end design for ADK1500?
