BRN Discussion Ongoing

What I don’t get is if we have 40+ companies still actively engaged in either 1000 or 1500 and then 2.0 built based on customer feedback, then how can the response to the ASX speeding ticket say that the company is not aware of any information concerning the share price increase.

It appears that a whole bunch of stuff is happening and advancing to commercialise and at the same time nothing is happening.

How does this reconcile?
It is the simple fact that when the SP surged up that one day to .25 no material announcements, deals or side communications were made by the company to cause the SP surge on that day.

That is the black and white of it and the company was confirming that they had no knowledge of why the SP moved up.

Yes Brainchip have a lot of projects on the go but this is just day to day work and not attributable to market moving events.

IMO I see the speeding tickets simply as asking has something that should not be public been made public / insider trading occurring to drive the price movement.

Similar to exploration lab results being leaked. The company knows they have hit something but they can't announce to market until 100% proven. They will respond will no, no, no, and no.

That's my take away.

New Apple XR Headset “Vision Pro” Could Replace Pc’s And iPhones.​

Wearable headsets for augmented and virtual reality gaming aren't new, but in 2024 Apple is promising to disrupt and turbocharge the market when it releases its Vision Pro goggles, and re-branding them as 'spatial computers'. Apple's Vision Pro is a Paradigm Shift in XR​





Spatial Technology

The Vision Pro integrates state-of-the-art technology to elevate user engagement. Through the collaboration of Lidar, IR, and LED eye-tracking systems, precise tracking and input are achieved without the necessity of controllers.

The concept is centered around delivering an embodied experience, enabling users to effortlessly interact with the virtual realm using only their eyes and hands.

Furthermore, the incorporation of spatial audio and audio ray tracing underscores the robust connection between audio and immersion, enhancing the overall immersive experience and creating a sense of true presence within the virtual environment.

Notably, the addition of a 3D camera, a groundbreaking feature for Apple, allows for the capture of spatial photos and videos, introducing a novel dimension to memories and providing users with a more immersive means of reliving them.

Apple’s Vision Pro headset is poised to usher in a paradigm shift in the realm of extended reality (XR), though experts predict it may take up to five years for the technology to reach its full maturity.

While the tech industry is buzzing with excitement about the innovative capabilities this headset brings, it’s the human-centered design approach that truly sets Apple’s creation apart.

From a unique perspective, the most revolutionary aspects of the Vision Pro headset are not just the technological advancements it enables but rather the emphasis on a human-centric design that makes this cutting-edge technology more accessible and intuitive for users.
A year or 2 ago, one of Apple's VR/AR (now XR?) team member's, liked on LinkedIn, a BrainChip AKIDA development milestone or something (may have been AKIDA in silicon?)..

It was around the same time, that they were having massive problems with the overheating of their headsets, because I remember suggesting on here, that they use liquid immersion cooling..

20231120_234209.jpg

As long as you hold your breath, all is good 😉


But then, I was really expecting to see AKIDA to show up in the iPhone 15..
They decided instead, to make a phone with overheating problems, greatly damaging their image and reputation (in my opinion)..

So who knows..

Sooner or later though, the large players will wake up/wise up and join the coming paradigm shifting revolution, that is AKIDA.

Neuromorphic Computing is the future and BrainChip's AKIDA, will get a decent slice of the pie, in my humble opinion..

Wonder how interesting this acquisition could be for Renesas. My highlighting & links end of post.

Not saying involved but interesting the company has been also playing in the neuromorphic space as below.

Renesas Extends Tender Offer for Proposed Acquisition of Sequans​


Shareholders to Receive U.S. $0.7575 per Ordinary Share and U.S. $3.03 per ADS in cash
November 20, 2023

Pondering given that Sequans is....

Sequans Communications S.A. (NYSE: SQNS) is a leading developer and supplier of cellular IoT connectivity solutions, providing chips and modules for 5G/4G massive and broadband IoT. For 5G/4G massive IoT applications, Sequans provides a comprehensive product portfolio based on its flagship Monarch LTE-M/NB-IoT and Calliope Cat 1 chip platforms, featuring industry-leading low power consumption, a large set of integrated functionalities, and global deployment capability.

Sequans was also one of the consortium partners, with several others, in the INGENIOUS H2020 project which wrapped up around Mar this year.

Shipping / Intermodal supply chains was one of the POCs. Didn't someone post a like or something on BRN from someone in shipping not long ago or am I just getting tooooo many dots in my head :LOL:

The project says (excerpt) the following....

The iNGENIOUS network layer brings new smart 5G-based IoT functi¬onalities, federated Multi-Access Edge Computing (MEC) nodes and smart orchestration, needed for enabling the projected real-time capable use cases of the supply chain. Security and data management are fully recognized as important features in the project. iNGENIOUS will create a holistic security architecture for next-generation IoT built on neuromorphic sensors with security governed by Artificial Intelligence (AI) algorithms and tile-based hardware architectures based on security by design and isolation by default. In the application layer, iNGENIOUS new AI mechanisms will allow more precise predictions than conventional systems.

And more interesting, she mentions Brainchip is ONE of the first to release a spiking neural network accelerator. Which are the others?

Hi entretec,

great find!

Referring to SW-F's comment about transformers not being implemented in the spike domain, the ViT is implemented in additional circuitry connected to the SNN. I would guess that the NN is involved in ViT in combination with the additional circuitry. ViT is implemented in silicon without CPU involvement:

https://brainchip.com/akida-generations/

Vision Transformers, or ViTs, are a type of deep learning model that uses self-attention mechanisms to process visual data.
ViTs were introduced in a paper by Dosovitskiy in 2020 and have since gained popularity in computer vision research.
In a Vision Transformer, an image is first divided into patches, which are then flattened and fed into a multi-layer transformer network. A multi-head self-attention mechanism in each transformer layer allows the model to focus on the relationships between image patches at differing levels of abstraction to capture local and global features.
The transformer’s output is passed through a final classification layer to obtain the predicted class label.

Key Benefits:


  • Complete hardware acceleration: ViT encoder block fully implemented in hardware for execution independent of host CPU.
  • Highly Efficient Performance: Execution in hardware without CPU overhead, highly reduces energy consumption while improving speed.
  • Low footprint, High scalability: Compact design reduces overhead. Can scale throughput and capacity with up to 12 nodes.

Ok I just have to share this as we are all excited about arm brainchip and M85 and here is our renesas man. I love the passion on this guy and the interviewer has no clue what renesas is trying to express! Love it when he says its not just the first, its the first on earth!!! almost says universe but he doesn't quite know if there is anything else out there in the universe lol and interview says do u think its the best in this conference he says OF COUSRE!
Love this renesas guy! Well done Renesas! 💃


Really enjoyed that video, thanks for sharing, at the end he said something awesome like the M85 is the star of the show, first one on earth and if customers want to be winners too then come and check it out 💪

And he said this product will be in market this year 😎

Others have already commented on the fact that said Renesas MCU has an embedded Helium accelerator. I will leave the discussion on whether this indicates that Akida is likely not involved (as it would not be needed) or could be integrated nevertheless to more qualified posters, and would like to shift the focus to the “first one on Earth” remark, which I interpreted somewhat differently.

Just like @Steve10, I believe Bernd Westhoff, Director of Microcontroller Product Marketing at Renesas - while doing his best in promoting the MCU with its instant AI experience they had just launched by the time this video at Embedded World 2023 was recorded (“the latest and greatest you can get right now”) - must have been very much aware of the fact that the first time ever the Arm Cortex-M85 had been used in conjunction with AI was in space (so most likely NASA). (Mind you, I don’t have any proof of this, but to me this is the only way his reaction makes sense).

Hence, when the interviewer asked him out of the blue whether it was the first time that AI was on the Arm Cortex-M(85) (from 1:06 min), Bernd Westhoff couldn’t simply answer “yes“, as that statement would have been untrue. Instead, after instinctively replying with “no”, he somewhat awkwardly but also cleverly rephrased his answer and thus technically wasn’t lying when he subsequently stated that the Renesas MCU was the very first time any vendor “on Earth” had launched the first Arm Cortex-M85 + AI combo implemented on silicon. (Mental note: But not the first one floating around in the Universe).

So IMO “the first one on Earth” is meant to be understood quite literally as the first one on the planet sold to regular customers 🌎🌍 🌏 (pick whatever view of our globe you fancy most), as opposed to the first one ever developed, as Bernd Westhoff could not truthfully claim that Renesas were the ultimate pioneers on a universal scale marrying the Cortex-M85 core with AI. We can only speculate as to why he didn’t mention who on earth had beaten Renesas “in the Universe”, but I reckon he didn’t have any alien 👽 Arm customers in mind, when he said “I mean, come on, this is the only one on Earth!” (from 7:57 min) 😉

I agree @Keats, it's a great presentation - very polished!

There are some people here who might benefit from absorbing the information highlighted on page 23 as shown below because timelines to mass production and royalties would be similar for BRN IMO, as they are right across the semiconductor industry.

When you look at it from this perspective BRN is doing exceptionally well given that we are very close to receiving first royalty streams from both Renesas and Valeo IMO.

Congratulations to all holders who have had the patience and conviction to stay strapped into their bus seats!!!
