BRN Discussion Ongoing

[IloveLamp]

I'm taking the piss mate

In which of your posts in particular? Or just like.......in general

 

[Kachoo]

Why should BRN have problems with finance if customers sign contracts with brainchip? If customers sign contracts, they do it because they see benefits I guess. Our western capitalistic economy works with depts otherwise it would collapse. So, if everyone would worry about the financial situation of other companies, there would be no business at all… just my opinion

When we do multi year sale tenders there is an audit involved and our customer examines our financial health to see if we are in a good financial position to provide the services and products we say.

It protects them from us going broke and them losing our service and be out money or products. So its kinda a standard practice.

The internet has changed every aspect of our lives from communication, shopping, and working. Now, for reasons of latency, privacy, and cost-efficiency, the “internet of things” has been born as the internet has expanded to the network edge.

Now, with artificial intelligence, everything on the internet is easier, more personalized, and more intelligent. However, AI is currently confined to the cloud due to the large servers and high compute capacity it needs. As a result, companies like Hailo are driven by latency, privacy, and cost efficiency to develop technologies that enable AI on the edge.

Undoubtedly, the next big thing is generative AI. Generative AI presents enormous potential across industries. It can be used to streamline work and increase the efficiency of various creators — lawyers, content writers, graphic designers, musicians, and more. It can help discover new therapeutic drugs or aid in medical procedures. Generative AI can improve industrial automation, develop new software code, and enhance transportation security through the automated synthesis of video, audio, imagery, and more.

However, generative AI as it exists today is limited by the technology that enables it. That’s because generative AI happens in the cloud — large data centers of costly, energy-consuming computer processors far removed from actual users. When someone issues a prompt to a generative AI tool like ChatGPT or some new AI-based videoconferencing solution, the request is transmitted via the internet to the cloud, where it’s processed by servers before the results are returned over the network. Data centers are major energy consumers, and as AI becomes more popular, global energy consumption will rapidly increase. This is a growing concern for companies trying to balance between the need to offer innovative solutions to the requirement to reduce operating costs and environmental impact.

As companies develop new applications for generative AI and deploy them on different types of devices — video cameras and security systems, industrial and personal robots, laptops and even cars — the cloud is a bottleneck in terms of bandwidth, cost, safety, and connectivity.

And for applications like driver assist, personal computer software, videoconferencing and security, constantly moving data over a network can be a privacy risk.

The solution is to enable these devices to process generative AI at the edge. In fact, edge-based generative AI stands to benefit many emerging applications.

Generative AI on the rise

Consider that in June, Mercedes-Benz said it would introduce ChatGPT to its cars. In a ChatGPT-enhanced Mercedes, for example, a driver could ask the car — hands free — for a dinner recipe based on ingredients they already have at home. That is, if the car is connected to the internet. In a parking garage or remote location, all bets are off.

In the last couple of years, videoconferencing has become second nature to most of us. Already, software companies are integrating forms of AI into videoconferencing solutions. Maybe it’s to optimize audio and video quality on the fly, or to “place” people in the same virtual space. Now, generative AI-powered videoconferences can automatically create meeting minutes or pull in relevant information from company sources in real-time as different topics are discussed.


However, if a smart car, videoconferencing system, or any other edge device can’t reach back to the cloud, then the generative AI experience can’t happen. But what if they didn’t have to? It sounds like a daunting task considering the enormous processing of cloud AI, but it is now becoming possible.

Generative AI at the edge

Already, there are generative AI tools, for example, that can automatically create rich, engaging PowerPoint presentations. But the user needs the system to work from anywhere, even without an internet connection.

Similarly, we’re already seeing a new class of generative AI-based “co-pilot” assistants that will fundamentally change how we interact with our computing devices by automating many routine tasks, like creating reports or visualizing data. Imagine flipping open a laptop, the laptop recognizing you through its camera, then automatically generating a course of action for the day,week or month based on your most used tools, like Outlook, Teams, Slack, Trello, etc. But to maintain data privacy and a good user experience, you must have the option of running generative AI locally.

In addition to meeting the challenges of unreliable connections and data privacy, edge AI can help reduce bandwidth demands and enhance application performance. For instance, if a generative AI application is creating data-rich content, like a virtual conference space, via the cloud, the process could lag depending on available (and costly) bandwidth. And certain types of generative AI applications, like security, robotics, or healthcare, require high-performance, low-latency responses that cloud connections can’t handle.

In video security, the ability to re-identify people as they move among many cameras — some placed where networks can’t reach — requires data models and AI processing in the actual cameras. In this case, generative AI can be applied to automated descriptions of what the cameras see through simple queries like, “Find the 8-year-old child with the red T shirt and baseball cap.”

That’s generative AI at the edge.

Developments in edge AI

Through the adoption of a new class of AI processors and the development of leaner, more efficient, though no-less-powerful generative AI data models, edge devices can be designed to operate intelligently where cloud connectivity is impossible or undesirable.

Of course, cloud processing will remain a critical component of generative AI. For example, training AI models will remain in the cloud. But the act of applying user inputs to those models, called inferencing, can — and in many cases should — happen at the edge.

The industry is already developing leaner, smaller, more efficient AI models that can be loaded onto edge devices. Companies like Hailo manufacture AI processors purpose-designed to perform neural network processing. Such neural-network processors not only handle AI models incredibly rapidly, but they also do so with less power, making them energy efficient and apt to a variety of edge devices, from smartphones to cameras.

Utilizing generative AI at the edge enables effective load-balancing of growing workloads, allows applications to scale more stably, relieves cloud data centers of costly processing, and helps reduce environmental impact. Generative AI is on the brink of revolutionizing computing once more. In the future, your laptop’s LLM may auto-update the same way your OS does today — and function in much the same way. However, in order to get there, generative AI processing will need to be enabled at the network’s edge. The outcome promises to be greater performance, energy efficiency, security and privacy. All of which leads to AI applications that reshape the world just as significantly as generative AI itself.

I agree about connectivity. When you ambark on a long car regional trip the only thing you remember about the drive are the times you lost internet connection. It dammed annoying!!!

Interesting that Rob would like a post about Renesas's DRP A.I. which trumpets MACs and is the "long way around" to doing "A.I." tasks and really shouldn't be called Artificial Intelligence at all anyway..

At least that's my limited understanding of that technology (Hey Diogenese bags it..).

Although I don't think Rob likes posts "Willy Nilly' many probably have more to do with networking and building relationships, than anything else..

Which hopefully leads to something down the track.

 

[tjcov87]

Everyone talking about "revenue" and their corresponding disappointment with the lack of it clearly doesn't understand cash flow; or understand there is a cost associated with generating revenue. Relax, trust your research & due diligence and most of all understand your investment.

I haven’t seen this posted so apologies if it has and I missed it.

Direct from the Arm website. It is an article by Stephen Ozoigbo, Senior Director, Ecosystem Development, Education and Research, Arm.
Written on 20th December.

It is about Arm staff and ambassadors travelling across Africa, highlighting the range of AI-based developer experiences running on Arm.

“The additional demos were a range hardware, including the Arduino Pro and BrainChip’s Akida, that highlighted how Arm IP can be implemented across embedded systems that utilize AI workloads. As compute power increases, developers can leverage AI workloads for applications that are targeting the smallest, most power and cost-constrained embedded systems, all built on Arm.”

Happy New Year Chippers

Man f**k this forum sometimes, this is a massive find and I nearly missed it with all of the current bedwetting.
Amazing to see the TOP 2 companies chosen to be modelled for Ai are Arduino and Brainchip.
Another great validation from Arm, something that demonstrates they are actively engaging with us and we aren't just holding on for dear life to their name.

 

[Frangipani]

Happy New Year 2024!

And hey @CHIPS - you were actually a bit too early with your Chinese New Year greetings and animated Lion Dance GIF, as the 2024 Lunar New Year is not celebrated until Feb 10, marking the start of the Year of the Dragon , the most auspicious of the twelve Chinese zodiac animals.

That being said, the Japanese already welcomed the Year of the Dragon on January 1st, as the Japanese zodiac, while historically based on its Chinese counterpart, is no longer following the lunar calendar, which was abandoned in 1872, and instead aligned its cycle to the Gregorian solar year. Thus the Japanese New Year is celebrated on Jan 1 like in the Western world. As you will probably all have seen on the news, this year’s holiday celebrations sadly turned somber when the Year of the Dragon that is supposed to bring luck and prosperity tragically started with two disasters - the 7.6 magnitude earthquake that hit a peninsula in central Japan as well as a large passenger plane and a coast guard aircraft colliding and catching fire on a runway at Tokyo’s Haneda Airport, killing five crew members of the coastguard plane which was carrying earthquake relief supplies.

A Japanese electronics company plagued by financial woes that must surely be hoping for an auspicious and prosperous Year of the Dragon is Sharp Corporation (partly-owned by Taiwanese electronics contract manufacturer Foxconn since 2016).
Could Sharp actually be one of the companies utilising Akida through Renesas?

The Osaka-based company that celebrates its 111th anniversary this year has a history with Renesas, including a joint venture in 2008, when the display driver IC business Renesas SP Drivers was established (see below), which was later acquired by touch sensor technology company Synaptics - that had beaten Apple to it - in 2014.

(Fun fact: Synaptics is one of about 20 companies founded by Caltech Professor Emeritus Carver Mead, who became known as the father of neuromorphic computing due to his seminal work in the late 1980s and also popularised the term “Moore’s Law”.)

Have a look at this recent Instagram post by Sharp:

Not only does their slogan “Experience the future of the five senses with Sharp at CES 2024!” have an Akidaish ring to it, some of the cutting-edge technologies they will showcase in Las Vegas (which were unveiled during SHARP Tech Day in Tokyo in November), do, too, although the actual term neuromorphic is never used: an AI Avatar acting as a virtual concierge and tour guide equipped with CE-LLM edge AI technology, an AI Olfactory Sensor (“this sensor imitates the sense of smell of living things”) presented in the form of a wine sensor (!), non-contact vital signs sensors and the world's smallest vital signs pulse wave sensors for wearable devices, groundbreaking XR camera technology (“A polymer lens camera that will be the “eye” of the AI world, which is capable of high-speed focus adjustment based on the same mechanism as the human eye”), a driver monitoring camera, high performance-low power consumption gadgets, a next-generation solar cell module for use in outer space…

Could we by any chance be involved?

Well, even in case we are, the Sharp booth at CES 2024 may not be where we shareholders will find out. As has been said numerous times before: Many companies utilising our tech one day will not promote their products as having “Akida Inside”, as much as we wish they would, especially if they don’t deal with Brainchip directly but through IP licensees such as Renesas or Megachips. We may indeed only find out by watching the financials…

Got it… checking the financial health in multi-year sales tenders is indeed a common practice, but not necessarily mandatory. Some companies might opt for alternative methods to assess the reliability of their suppliers without conducting a comprehensive financial review. It depends on industry standards and individual agreements between companies. It cannot be generalized, especially when dealing with a startup where companies may make short-term decisions to enter into contracts

...or will that belong to our competitors?



What is the DEEPX NPU engine?????

It's an "A.I." accelerator, not neuromorphic, nothing to do with us at all, by the looks of it.

But definitely competition, in spaces that Schnitzel lover doesn't seem to think the Market "needs" yet.


The future Edge A.I. market, is now being estimated at close to half a trillion dollars.

The Big Question is, how much of the addressable market can BrainChip and AKIDA secure.

Deepx NPU:
US2022207337A1 METHOD FOR ARTIFICIAL NEURAL NETWORK AND NEURAL PROCESSING UNIT 20201231

A method performs a plurality of operations on an artificial neural network (ANN). The plurality of operations includes storing in at least one memory a set of weights, at least a portion of a first batch channel of a plurality of batch channels, and at least a portion of a second batch channel of the plurality of batch channels; and calculating the at least a portion of the first batch channel and the at least a portion of the second batch channel by the set of weights. A batch mode, configured to process a plurality of input channels, can determine the operation sequence in which the on-chip memory and/or internal memory stores and computes the parameters of the ANN. Even if the number of input channels increases, processing may be performed with one neural processing unit including a memory configured in consideration of a plurality of input channels.

MACs are not Akida 1000.

Hey Stockduck, Diogenese is definitely the expert in this sort of area, but like you've figured yourself, this is just another accelerator.

Again more competition, a donkey in a horse race, in my opinion, but they will also likely get a share of the pie.

Edge A.I. being such a huge future space, is going to be heavily contested.

What we are experiencing, is basically a Cambrian Explosion in A.I. solutions.

Many will get out competed and be left by the wayside.

I don't believe, that this will be AKIDAs fate.

Yes, it's a rapid and crazy development with artificial intelligence and as a shareholder it's difficult to follow the connections exactly.

Here is another one to regard in the future:

New RISC-V Company Quintauris Joins Major Semiconductor Players, Names CEO - Embedded Computing Design

It was announced last August that semiconductor industry players Robert Bosch, Infineon, Nordic Semiconductor, NXP Semiconductors, and Qualcomm Technologies were planning to launch a joint venture into RISC-V, and now it has a name and a CEO.

embeddedcomputing.com

My personal only hope for a good development of the company is the recent personnel decisions regarding the global head of sales and the new technical director. I haven't been able to find out anything else really positive about the asx announcements at the moment.

So I have to be patient.....

That looks more like competition for the likes of ARM and SiFive, but another potential future partner for us.

You're forgetting the recent new US patent granting, which protects the learning aspects of AKIDA (a huge differentiator) for the next 20 years
