Good point Chips. They actually do come with integrated Lights front and rear. It is called the Equipped Version, and it is $100 dollars more, plus it comes with the fenders too.

Very nice indeed !
Apple was well behind the eight ball when I first connected with Brainchip, and I believe that they scoured the planet in search of
top quality talent, including poaching staff in a bid to "catch-up" so to speak.
Over the last 2 years they appear to have made big strides, and the only thing lacking in that article Bravo are the words we ALL
wish to see, BRAINCHIP & AKIDA...it's still possible we are or have chatted with Apple, purely speculation on my part, as Apple are
well known for liking to go it alone.
Cheers for the post....Tech

I thought Fact Finder nailed it. A short to the point update, easy read. Not too laborious.
Well done @Fact Finder - Big fan here, cheers to you sir.

Yes, purely speculation on my behalf also, however I live in hope.
Here's another recent Apple patent which doesn't mention BrainChips's Akida but it would be a perfect fit IMO, particularly in light of Nandan's previous comments (refer to extract below).
EXTRACT FROM THE PATENT
TRANSCRIPT EXTRACT ( Leadership Insights Series Video)
Leadership Insights: AI at the Edge
In this video, Mike Vizard talks with Nandan Nayampally, chief marketing officer for BranChip, about how a new class of processors will advance AI at the edge using an architecture that mimics the way the human brain processes data.

Apple is well known for stealing technology… I expect an announcement from them soon with something like “we introduce you our all new brain inspired Neuromorphic chip THE AKIZA”Very nice indeed !

Just tossing out a thought: Many Neuromorphic techniques will likely win hugely.Synsense has both analog and digital SNNs and they have used their analog Dynap (Speck) SNN with Prophesee for vision:

And remind me, this is mixed-signal or digital?
DYLAN MUIR
This is fully digital. It’s an asynchronous digital architecture. I mean the pixel itself obviously has got some analog components for the photo detector and so on. But the processing side is fully digital.
SALLY WARD-FOXTON
Seems like you have two families of chip. The one that’s in this Speck module. And then there’s another family, which is newer, or older?
DYLAN MUIR
Xylo – it’s a little bit newer. So that’s we’re targeting that for natural signal processing, meaning audio, biosignals, vibration, IMU/accelerometers, things like this. We’ve had a few tapeouts already for the Xylo, we have a dev kit available with an audio version, so that includes a little digital processor core plus a very efficient audio front end. We have a recent publication, some presentations from the end of last year where we’re demonstrating ultra-low power audio processing applications on that chip at a few hundred microwatts. So the idea then of course is also smart low power edge sensory processing. The family will have a common processor architecture plus a number of very efficient sensory interfaces. So we have audio out already, we have an IMU sensory interface which we’re bringing up and testing actually at the moment. We plan to have samples available at the end of this year, beginning of next year, and then there will be other sensory interfaces for other classes of application as well. Yeah, we’ll take these in turn for the use cases that that look like the most commercially accessible.
It’s a different architecture, so Speck is really tailored for vision processing applications and it does very efficient convolutional neural network inference. Xylo is a more general-purpose architecture for mostly non convolutional network architectures. It also has a more advanced neuron model. So it’s still spiking neurons of course, the spiking neurons on Speck are very simple. They’re essentially just a digital counter with no temporal dynamics, whereas the neurons on Xylo are a simulation of a a leaky integrate and fire spiking neuron, a very standard neuron model, including these temporal dynamics, which are very configurable on the chip, so that that’s really suited for temporal signal processing. So when we do things like keyword spotting for example, for audio processing, the standard neural network approach is to buffer 100 milliseconds or 50 milliseconds of audio, produce a spectrogram for that 100 milliseconds, and then treat that as an image.
We don’t do that. We really operate in a continuous streaming mode, where we process the audio as it comes into the device meaning we can have potentially lower latency. We don’t need to do buffering, we don’t need… We can get away with smaller resources for the temporal signal processing, because we’ve got this temporal integration of information in the neurons themselves. and so this lets us operate at lower power.
The Xylo chip is synchronous digital. The reason for the difference is the DVS sensor is fundamentally asynchronous itself, and if you’ve got a static camera application, then there can be basically nothing changing, nothing going on in the visual scene, and then you get basically no input and you don’t need to do anything. Whereas for audio processing, you’ve always got ambient sound coming in and so you essentially need to be processing continuously and then the synchronous digital design is a simpler design.
So essentially we have a digital clocked simulation of the leaky integrate and fire dynamics on Xylo. And so your input clock frequency might be for example 5 megahertz, but then the network dynamics can be slower than this. You can choose to integrate over several seconds and then the simulation of each individual neuron is computed inside Xylo, but you can choose a long time scale to continuously integrate information inside the neuron, if you if you so desire. It’s essentially a little a little synchronous ASIC core for inference in spiking neurons, including these temporal dynamics. So we’re just running a little digital simulation of the of the spiking neuron dynamics.
SALLY WARD-FOXTON
Last time we spoke, which admittedly was a while ago, you had partnered with Prophesee, also. How is that collaboration going?
DYLAN MUIR
That’s going very well. We’ve fabricated a device with Prophesee, and this is… we’re testing this, examining this at the moment, in conjunction with them.
SALLY WARD-FOXTON
OK, to be clear, it uses a different processor that you’ve made compared to the Speck module – or the same?
DYLAN MUIR
The processor IP is basically the same, same design, that’s our processor design for Speck. These little DYNAP-CNN cores and that’s what we apply for CNN processing. So we’ve also looked at, for example, an RGB standard CMOS camera interface which we could then also process using the same spiking CNN architecture.
Look at the Cyper Security stocks: Fortinet, Crowdstrike, and Palo Alto Networks are all blasting together. The AI is going to produce a lot of very valuable data that must be protected. Cyber Security spending is a multi-decade trend.
Rocket faster? Neuromorphic intelligence techniques are the same multi-decade trend. Could grow faster is my thought.
SynSense, Brainchip, Tesla, Deepmind, etc are on this track.
Similar technology, different end Use-Cases.

Wow, I assumed people here know about Felix and Winston! Searched and no mention on the site.
He is very sharp, witty, fast paced. Former lawyer, financial banker, lives in Hong Kong.
A total gem. I learn plenty. I watch him when my Brain is on its best Learning Focus, which is in the morning.

Market Sentiment via the stock price is interesting to watch.
My thought is the stock price is Floating with the Wind, until the time is right for their Tech to Hit it perfectly with a product fit.
Neuromorphic is still learning to crawl, walk, etc. Brainchip has a really good shot a something special, we are all together there!

By the way sir, Germany seems ahead of the USA in ebike tech. I am very impressed with the quality of the germany youtube videos covering ebikes. Much respect!
I thought Trek was worldwide. All the Trek Bikes have integrated lights. I agree, the lights are a no-brainer. Trek has more expensive ebikes that rock. I like the Stealth part of the bikes, no big battery.

No sound is boring, but did you see the tech? It also shows that a user might need to wait.
To me its a fantastic video of the User Experience changing images with text. You will be able to do this in email, in docs, in paintings, in videos.
There will be a voice interface, so just Talk, and Change my Image or Video!!!
This is $100B Microsoft spending. Chat GPT5 is going to rocket. Microsoft knows ahead how their tech is doing.
