Hi FF... do you think it's possible that ARM move with the times and buy our IP to pass on to any of thier customers that want the AI Extension???All these wishes I am less ambitious.
I will be satisfied if ARM licenses anyone of its many chips with an AKIDA Ai extension to just seven of its major global customers such as:
Apple, Nvidia, Google , Microsoft , Amazon , Samsung and Intel.

Thanks Dio...Forgive me if this is a stupid question as I'm not 100% on how these things work.. so if a customer wants to use Akida with Arms architecture, they buy Akida chips to achieve this or they need to buy our IP Licence?Hi Chris,
The point of being in ARM's ecosystem is that they can offer Akida for applications that need NNs, but it is unlikely that ARM will offer a processor with Akida built in unless the customer requests it. After all, our business model is based on the ARM model of IP licensing, so it will be up to the customer to decide whether ARM's Ethos or Helium will meet their needs, or whether they need a full strength SNN.
I don't know if there is a discount on the ARM IP if the customer rejects Ethos and opts for Akida.

Thanks Dio... makes senseHi Chris,
ARM does not sell chips, only IP. That is also BRN's primary business model, but until we get established, it seems we will be making a limited number of chips available, eg VVDN, PCIe boards.
Akida IP is compatible with all ARM processor IPs.
The normal thing would be for the customer to license the ARM IP and the Akida IP. Being in ARM's ecosystem makes it easier for the customer to get both together.
Hi @Chris B.Hi FF... do you think it's possible that ARM move with the times and buy our IP to pass on to any of thier customers that want the AI Extension???
I assume one size does not fit all. Depending on customer requirements and size they either have their own IT team or employ someone for their requirements.Thanks Dio...Forgive me if this is a stupid question as I'm not 100% on how these things work.. so if a customer wants to use Akida with Arms architecture, they buy Akida chips to achieve this or they need to buy our IP Licence?
All the best to the genuine people here who do have good intentions and are good people.
Yes-sir-ee!Interesting that this involves some of our TCS friends.
What is odd is that it concerns spike rate coding, which Simon Thorpe largely debunked on the way to developing rank coding, which Akida's BRN licensed as its secret sauce.
I don't know what information they believe they can retrieve from the spike rate.
Thanks FF... sounds Fantastic and answered my question to a tee... Fingers CrossedHi @Chris B.
My wild speculation is that ARM has already agreed the financial arrangement with Brainchip covering sales.
I believe that ARMs new fee structure encompasses Brainchip and the upfront licence fee is amortised and paid as part of the profit share.
I do not believe that ARM would be:
1. touting AKIDA across Africa,
2. proving out its compatibility with all its processes, and
3. engaging with Brainchip in seminar/podcasts
without having nailed down the financial side of their relationship.
What this means is that all seven of my dream Brainchip customers could already be trialling and designing with ARM AKIDA IP.
Remember Edge Impulse has been working with ARM and its customers for much longer than Brainchip and its Chief Revenue Officer must have had a basis for his statement in the CES 2024 podcast that AKIDA was going to be in every semiconductor.
He must have well known that ARM provides 90 percent of the semiconductors in mobile phones and 80% of the general semiconductor market and the only pathway to semiconductor monopoly would be working arm in arm with ARM.
As I say this is my wild speculation but the facts are there for all to see.

Mentioned, as in: “… we will soon announce tape-out”? This should be a fairly material announcement.Hi B
Todd Vierra mentioned tapeout of AKIDA 2.0 in his interview at CES 2024.
