Hi Diogenese
Well I don’t think you need to look very hard to find that two-way street on a map.
Just put Edge Impulse into your SatNav and you will find it runs straight past their office.
Nvidia Tao can be trialled and applications built directly on AKIDA using Edge Impulse and MetaTF.
The interesting thing to ponder is whether Nvidia’s commercial interest would involve keeping a partnership with Brainchip a secret.
ARM most certainly did not see the need and in fact advertises AKIDA’s compatibility with its processes. It even wrote of the fact that AKIDA made their process more powerful and efficient.
So if a potential customer can go onto Edge Impulse and run Tao on AKIDA and benchmark it as Tata Consulting Services and Quantum Ventura have against Jetson Nano why would Nvidia not adopt the ARM approach of boasting AKIDA is available through them and compatible with their entire GPU range.
Now here is something I have been pondering. Brainchip is heavily promoting its Edge credentials yet Dr. Anthony Thorne the new CTO asked the question can it scale up for large language models?
Up is the Cloud/Data Centre.
Nvidia has a strangle hold on GPUs for Cloud/Data Centre applications.
Sam Altman is looking to make the power consumption of CHATGpt affordable and green acceptable.
This pursuit underpinned the RainAi $51 million exercise.
Nvidia would need to be asleep at the wheel not to recognise the whole world is chasing a solution to this power consumption issue.
If Nvidia had a quick fix it would overnight ensure its strangle hold on the Cloud/Data Centre market would continue.
If AKIDA can “scale up” and plug into Nvidia GPUs this emergency would be averted.
Peter van der Made and Anil Mankar have always said that AKIDA is scalable and that it could take over all the Ai inference in Data Centres.
Indeed this was always Peter van der Made’s ambition.
AKIDA 2.0 P was initially 50 TOPS when first announced but barely 5 months later it had been scaled up to 131 TOPS. Almost three times what was originally planned.
WHY???
Tapeout was close according to Tod Vierra so in about three months AKIDA 2.0 will be available to put on PCle Boards and plugged into someone’s GPU to offload Ai inference.
Lots of questions to consider starting with why did Rob Telson suggest Nvidia was more likely to be a partner than a competitor???
My opinion only DYOR
