Hi Manny,Hi FF, See the link below from BRN Website. Mercedes gets a mention. I have not seen this link before today. Its Titled "
Designing Smarter and Safer Cars with Essential AI"
Under the SOC chip drawing it says " AKIDA intergrated into SOC"![]()
Designing Smarter and Safer Cars with Essential AI
Essential AI shaping car design. BrainChip revolutionizes automotive technology. Explore our page for insights.brainchip.com
I presume this may mean the SOC may be provided by a 3rd party , eg NVIDIA, Renesas, Microchip etc.
If this is the case it will be a watch the financials?
Correct me if i am wrong.
I am thinking that BRN may get involved in the design of AI applications as an extra source of revenue and a way of retaining customer loyalty?
I'll take "AI applications" to refer to models which act as the memory of the NN, equivalent to past experience or learning. At one level, you can think of the NN as comparing the input signals with the stored images, sounds, etc, in the model.
The models are used in configuring the NN, such as number of layers, number of nodes in a layer, weights and connections between NPUs and adjacent layers (or later layers with long range skip connections.
BRN has developed MetaTF to simplify adoption of Akida. It includes a software simulator for Akida and also has a system for CNN2SNN conversion so customers can convert their CNN models to SNN.
BRN also has a model library "zoo" which contains databases of images, speech, text, volatile organics, ...
There are many open source model libraries. In some cases, the user can use Akida's 1-shot learning to augment a pre-existing model to adapt it to the user's particular use case, or they may compile an entire model for their specific purpose. Assisting with this may be part of the after-sales service which BRN provides.
