BRN Discussion Ongoing

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. 😎

My opinion only DYOR

PS: The known existing relationships are just the filing in the ARM commercialisation Victoria sponge cake like cream, strawberries and icing sugar.

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???

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.

That is such an impressive list.

To even consider that we haven't made any real progress over the last 3/4 years would be absurd, as
would be thinking nobody has even heard of us..all those thought patterns are a total waste of mental energy.

How many companies specializing in our field could/can boast that many engagements, sure some are immature but many are maturing very nicely, each company that is listed are spending money and a lot of time working alongside us or using our technology within their own labs, the best always seems to attract the best.

Looking forward to a great deal of positive news this year, well that's what I'm quietly expecting.

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,

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.

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.

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.
As per their budget they may engage someone like megachips, socionext, edge impulse etc.
Now those chip designers recommend according to their customer requirements.
Now here comes arm and brn in picture. These chip designers can be ecosystem partners for arm, brn , sifive etc and then use particular IP.
e g for akida 1000 we used arm but we had no IP contract with contract but socionext pay to arm on our behalf.
Brianchip mentioned many times an IP is recommended only if a customer needs more than 1 million chips otherwise they can take the same from megachips, socionext or edge impulse.
As a company I don't assume brainchip or arm contact directly every IP user.

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.
Yes-sir-ee!

I think it means that the brain has evolved to give us the inference in the quickest time possible.
So next time you go shopping, the hat you liked first, is most likely the one for you.
