Over on the crapper there is sheer, unadulterated panic and wet pants over the new NVIDIA release.
Meanwhile back a the Ranch a reminder of one of Sean's presentations from last year.
Sean basically almost trashed NVIDIA as a true AI at the Edge provider. His words NVIDIA does not come close to BRN in power and is not really suited to the Cloud.
The view is basically that if its via the cloud its not true AI at the Edge.
For the presentation Google BrainChip OTCQX: BCHPY|ASX:BRN investor presentation november 2023
Start from Circa 21.30 min mark where Sean talks about Competition and comparison.
In another presentation Sean said that BRN complements Cloud providers (complement each other) rather than compete.
I guess its because NVIDIA and other cloud providers make their revenue from traditional IT and traditional AI functions. True AI at the Edge 'all on chip' like BRN is a new ball game or segment of the Industry. Some will be suited to the Cloud others to the Edge on chip.
The huge future growth however is in the AKIDA no trip to the Cloud process, ie AKIDA.
To the google search of the presentation add to the front you tube so searchng:

This is quite a good presentation from the chief architect @ MB describing the compute issues for ADAS level 4. Brainchip doesn’t get a mention but I enjoyed it and learnt a bit anyway as he puts the issues in plain language to understand the road ahead!

It’s also a prelude to an upcoming presentation where hoping he’s solved some of the problems and gives us a mention.

I know we get very little by way of ASX Ann"s, but to read BRN stating things like " WE ARE EMBEDDING OUR IP IN EVERYTHING, EVERYWHERE " gives me alot of reassurance that there is plenty going on that we haven"t fully been made aware of yet. View attachment 59591
Show me the money asap. Thanks

NVIDIA doesn't work with anybody else, at least they havent in the past. If there is money in AI at the edge they will go after it. We are not the only AI at the edge company and NVIDIA can repurpose any old chip and incorporate their own NNP and call it an AI chip for the edge.

We have something different ie SNN. which is often a much better solution.

Will the customers know the difference? Will NVIDIA fight fair? Will NVIDIA feel like they should offer to license someone else's IP in ther chip? It looks like No for all of these.

This is why I think the race is on to get our chips out there, so develpers can see the beautiful things they can do with our brilliant design.

For those that need to hear this, there was a recent article by EE Times yesterday-


Nvidia said: ....Beyond that, in smartphones and IoT devices: “We will not participate in that market,” he said. “Our strategy is to play in autonomous machines, where there’s multiple sensors and sensor fusion, and that’s a strategic choice we made. The tens or hundreds of companies developing products from mobile to IoT, you could say they are competitors, but it’s overall speeding up the adoption of AI, which is good. .... “A rising tide lifts all boats,” he said. “There’s a gain for Nvidia because…IoT devices go will go into billions if not tens of billions of units annually. Jetson is not targeting that market. As AI adoption grows
at the edge, we want to monetize it on the data center side. If somebody’s going to use our GPUs in the cloud to train their AI, we have monetized that.”

This is a clear statement of strategic intent on the part of Nvidia, and good news for BRN. Jetson is not in competition with Akida.

Also, let’s not forget the indirect way that Brainchip will be part of the Nvidia ecosystem through Nvidia TAO.


As Rob Telson said regarding the slide below-

  1. At this point in Zach’s presentation he was highlighting the relationship between Edge Impulse and Nvidia.
  2. Introducing Nvidia design environment will now be supported on the Edge Impulse platform (This is a huge move)
  3. The companies represented on the slide are Edge Impulse partners and will now be able to work with the Nvidia environment using Edge Impulse as a deployment tool. (Customer uses Nvidia model, takes the model to Edge Impulse and now can deploy that model on one of Edge Impulse partner platforms, including BrainChip).
  4. Arm and BrainChip are the two companies that are IP providers
  5. This is really good news for BrainChip because a majority of all AI applications are run on Nvidia silicon. Once companies start to push the limits with their current Nvidia solution (need to lower power consumption, need for more efficient performance) they will want to consolidate more technology into their next generation silicon. This is what we want! Once they consolidate they need AI as IP (Nvidia doesn’t offer IP). So now this company has an Nvidia based model and they need it to work with an AI accelerator which is IP so they can design it into their silicon (this means Arm, BrainChip, a few others for IP). Only Arm and BrainChip will support the deployment of an Nvidia model through our partnership with Edge Impulse. Now we take that model, demonstrate lower power and better efficiency than an Arm offering and we are in a good position to win.
  6. Hopefully this makes sense.

Anybody knows something the reason why it shoot up today?
You can't be serious?? The same reason it shoot up all the other times. But Dicklebro will tell us all that BrainChip is not one of the 5 shares that he/they will suggest ;)

NVIDIA and ither cloud providers operate their version of AI at the Edge via the Cloud which is really 2nd rate. True AI at the Edge is Neuromorphic based. At the moment BRN is the only commercial provider.
Check the presentation out. Sean has a couple of slides and verbal explanations.
Sean pretty much trashes NVIDIA as a true AI at the Edge provider.
Cloud provides traditional AI services extremely well - At the moment that is pretty much where almost all the business is. True AI at the Edge is real time on the chip. There is a lot of confusion about this.
Real time AI at the Edge is expected to grow exponentially.

And the reason we don't manufacture an Akida2 chip ourselves is because we made the decision 4 years ago to be IP only and the reason we're sticking with it is because.....

Is this possibly an unintended reveal of the Austrian Space Agency’s (so far) super secret involvement in that USAFA experiment onboard the ISS?! 🇦🇹🚀🛰😲

A tribute to the late Johann ‘Hans’ Hölzel, better known by his stage name Falco, whose 1985 hit Rock Me Amadeus was the only German-speaking song to date that ever reached No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart?

Imagine a day in 2019 or 2020 - the exact date is clouded in secrecy.
Suddenly, the United States Air Force Academy phone rings. A cadet picks up.
Vienna Calling, here. Der Kommissar. We would like to suggest a code name for that future neuromorphic camera experiment in space, to honour the memory of Austria’s biggest pop star! His stage name would be the perfect choice, as he even sang about space tech back in 1988”.

7a6b00d3-a37a-4099-a6ae-d1195c57ee7e-jpeg.59537.jpg


🤣

OMG, this missing letter ‘n’ and the ensuing chain of thoughts just triggered heaps of memories - from an open air Falco concert at the Bregenz floating opera stage (on Lake Constance), to controversial lyrics and boycotts by radio stations (native speakers of German may recall Jeanny) and mixtape nostalgia.

For those of you who weren’t teenagers (or their parents) in the 1980s, when cassette tapes were SOTA, the video below is a good explanation of the labour of love that went into these works of art, the creation of which took a lot of time and patience (as you had to sit in front of the radio for hours, hoping specific songs would be played) as well as intense prayers for radio DJs not to talk into the eagerly awaited songs’ intro or fade-out. Equally nerve-wrecking were family members spoiling the recording, both inadvertently and intentionally. Add in the time spent on hand-writing the song list and creating a cover to go along with the tape’s theme (in case there was one).

Besides making personalised playlists for self-use (to this day, I can’t bear parting with the testimony of my youth’s soundtrack), they were the ultimate musical gift for best friends, secret crushes, lovers etc. And apparently some people even went to great lengths in compiling songs as a poisoned parting gift (incidentally, Gift is the German word for poison 😂) for their ex-partner. So much reading between the lines. Truly a lost art in the age of YouTube, Spotify, Amazon and Apple Music.




My Google search for some info on mixtapes for the clueless digital natives also surfaced this excellent write-up for those wanting to go down memory lane:

80s teen here....what a decade to be a teen it was.

Incredible memories...thanks for the post.

You made me look Nena up as I thought surely she got to #1 too but nope... #2 😞

I still have about 4 shoeboxes of favourite tapes, including some mix tapes from the late 70s / 80s, some off the radio at the time haha

They go with my fully boxed (working) Commodore 64, with all the peripherals and about 80 floppys (that's disk's for you digital natives with filthy minds :ROFLMAO: ) and datasettes and my first Motorola Microtac mobile and charger etc.

Hoarder much :unsure::LOL:

Yeah, same here 🤣🤣🤣 - in fact, I had to double-check Nena’s ranking as well, as I had also assumed her 🎈 🎈 🎈x 33 would have surely floated above everything else for at least a week!

Not sure if our C64 is still around at my parents’ place - I wasn’t into taking it apart and putting it back together or into coding, but I vividly remember playing Summer and Winter Games with my siblings in the 80s! But I do still have floppy discs, my beloved Walkman cassette player (one of the best Christmas gifts ever!), my first Nokia phone etc., so I can relate! 😊

We should organise a virtual 80s party one day! 🥳 Apparently our teenage decade is trending again! 😂
