While we already know that a team from Technische Hochschule (University of Applied Sciences) Nürnberg successfully used Akida to win 2nd prize in this year’s tinyML Hackathon Challenge Pedestrian Detection…

… it is nice to see Brainchip also getting exposure on the institute’s website now (under ‘equipment’), alongside other development boards:

Ausstattung – Technische Hochschule Nürnberg Georg Simon Ohm

Durch die Größe der Fakultät Informatik, mit rund 1000 Studierenden, ist das Angebot vielfältig. Die Praxisorientierung des Studiums zeigt sich insbesondere bei Praxissemestern und Abschlussarbeiten in Kooperation mit den vielen großen und kleineren Unternehmen vor Ort.

Team NeurOHM from Technische Hochschule Nürnberg recently presented their entry for the tinyML Hackathon Pedestrian Detection Challenge 2023 as part of a bi-monthly seminar series organised by the Alan Turing Institute, the UK’s national institute for data science and artificial intelligence, headquartered in the British Library in London!
What better place for Brainchip to gain further recognition?! After all, Akida has cracked the enigma of low latency in combination with ultra-low power efficiency.

“This bi-monthly seminar series explores real-world applications of physics-informed machine learning (Φ-ML) methods to the engineering practice. They cover a wide range of topics, offering a cross-sectional view of the state of the art on Φ-ML research, worldwide.

Participants have the opportunity to hear from leading researchers and learn about the latest developments in this emerging field. These seminars also offer the chance to identify and spark collaboration opportunities.”

NVDA/Valeo......corporate intrigue

NVIDIA sued for stealing trade secrets after screensharing blunder showed rival company's code

NVIDIA is facing a lawsuit filed by French automotive company Valeo after a screensharing blunder by one of its employees.

Sad state of affairs and fair warning to other tech companies like us..

With the power of money that Nvidia has, this will likely get swept under the carpet, in due course..

Hi Dingo,

IMO, it's not beyond the realms of reality to assume that Mohammad Moniruzzaman was aware of BrainChip.

Valeo is alleging that Moniruzzaman “downloaded without authorization the entirety of Valeo’s advanced parking and driving assistance systems source code” in early 2021, along with “scores of Valeo Word documents, PowerPoint presentations, PDF files, and Excel spreadsheets explaining various aspects of the technology” before leaving to join Nvidia in August that year.

We have been working with Valeo since 2020.

I wonder how often we came up in any "trade secret" conversations (if there were any) with NVIDIA?

We might deduce here from Eric Feuilleaubois (Deep Learning / ADAS / Autonomous Parking chez VALEO) Linkedin post in May 2023 that BrainChip is involved in Valeo's parking and driving assistance software side of things.

It's hard when, beyond patent protection, beyond the protection of NDAs, beyond the use of cyber security...
You have to rely on the decency and morals of human beings and business corporations.

Making money and being successful, is all well and good, but if it's made through dishonest practices, it is only poison to those who take it, I believe.

One of the oldest sayings, is that "Money is the root of all Evil"..

But it's like guns, guns don't kill people, people do.
They just make it all too easy..

Maybe guns should be fitted with an emotion detector inhibitor:

How AI-Emotion Analysis works
On a high level, an AI emotion application or vision system includes the following steps:
Step #1: Acquire the image frame from a camera feed (IP, CCTV, USB camera).
Step #2: Preprocessing of the image (cropping, resizing, rotating, color correction).
Step #3: Extract the important features with a CNN model
Step #4: Perform emotion classification

... but would it work on psychopaths?

The problem with guns is, they are just so good at their designed purpose.

When I see in a film, someone pointing a gun at someone and the other person saying "Go ahead do it, you don't have the guts"..

I think it's just madness!!

This is the more likely outcome..

What a great idea Diogenese guns that will only shoot emotional people. Anything for a quiet life. As for your psychopaths I am sure AKIDA could identify those who do not have an appropriate response to the elimination of emotional people around them and take care of them as well.

In Australia ensuring we do not grow up to be Americans has been a triumph for commonsense.

On a serious note all those who harbour deep resentment because Valeo maintains a veil of secrecy over Scala 3 and its smart ultra sonic sensors take note that it is not just the CCP who are out there trying to profit from other peoples good ideas.

Companies cannot be too careful when dealing with KRYPTONITE.

My girlfriend Anastasi thinks that iterative feedback is the future of LLMs.

What comes after LLMs? - YouTube




but I think performing all the calculations for all the iterations on a CPU/GPU is going to use N times more power than ChatGPT.

... and all the big boys are invested in several potential GPT systems:


What the world needs is a fast, efficient, accurate processor capable of on-chip one-shot learning.

Good morning,

What an appointment, when our new CTO takes over officially on 1 January 2024 (I assume) I feel that we are in for a nice surprise, I refer
back to that weird dream I had a few months ago about a shareholder meeting on 9 January, very strange !

Tony Lewis' network appears, at first glance, to be massive. Peter has a massive network as well, but it will be interesting watching this
change play out over the first 12 months, the path has already been well laid out, but once again new doors will open, will Tonys approach
be different to Peters, as in a, bigger personality, more well known within the industry ? I'm just not sure.

Despite Peter being able to spend more time on maybe religious study or working on his property in the Southwest of WA (planting trees),
enjoying time with his grandkids or even working through a long list of jobs his wife has probably handed him I suspect that Brainchip won't be too far from his thoughts.

Hopefully Dr Tony will make his way down to Australia to attend our next AGM and visit the Research Innovation Centre in Perth.. I leave you
today with a quote,

"Once we have market dominance we run native cortical networks that go way beyond what current CNNs or LSTMs can do. That is my vision."

There is only one Peter van der Made, never forget the original founder of Brainchip Holdings Ltd, no disrespect to Anil as they already know that I love both of them, both great guys, both geniuses in their respective fields.

Anyone game enough to name Brainchip's real competitor/s.....research chips back on the lab bench don't count....Brainchip deals in

REAL TIME, PROVEN TECHNOLOGY, AVAILABLE WORLDWIDE YESTERDAY !!!!

A good use case for Akida - visual confirmation of the expected user not allowing fire otherwise. All guns could be fitted with a visual signature allowing them to only be fired by the legally rightful owner.

Ahh who am I kidding, you're going to have more BrainChip millions to woo her and besides, I would be the intellectual equivalent of a fly in her ointment ..

I wonder if she has an equally attractive, but less intelligent sister ..

Microsoft to build nuclear plants for powering AI

Microsoft is betting on nuclear power to drive the development of artificial intelligence. Small modular reactors (SMRs) are now set to power the energy-intensive AI. The company is also investing in a project to generate nuclear power through fusion.

Will the small modular nuclear reactor community be able to find an optimized point on the physics vs modularity curve? I don't think so.
