BRN Discussion Ongoing

[supersonic001]

Today I have had it confirmed, the company is sending out emails today, to the customers who placed pre-orders
for the new Edge Box, via the US (emails that is).

Customers have been invited to email any technical questions they may have directly to the sales team, shipments are now
expected to be dispatched early in Q3 (July I'm guessing), and yes there has been a slight delay, but for very good reason,
as this is our first product direct to the market, quality control was made the priority, making sure they all work perfectly,
as we are all aware, any stuff ups at this critical juncture would be very damaging to our name.

Steve Thorne confirmed today via Tony....cheers.

Love to know how many by volume….. !!

His LinkedIn profile states he’s almost a perpetual student therefore his access to BrainChip’s true potential would be seriously limited. I’d suggest he digs a little deeper than looking at one promotional video from 3 years ago before declaring we are lying about our capabilities. Next!

Pretty sure it's an auto-correct, that was missed and is supposed to say "presented".

But yet Phopesee is still a partner on the Web Site. there will always be issues.

So would I !...I did ask Rob that question, but Sean has since answered that question with his "on par" with our expectations, he has
also clearly stated that the 25 to 100 volume by units is the VVDN domain, as we are most definitely not geared up for that supply
type operation, we are IP specialists as you know.

I think it will be a nice little earner for us, but the most valuable commodity will most definitely be the customer feedback, directly to
the company and via social media and tech blog sites, this I believe will enhance the cupcake and other opportunities in the edge box
market.

I'm picking Tata, Accenture and Digimarc as the next IP "potential" signings.

Digimarc currently have 10 patents with us mentioned.

Accenture currently have 5 patents with us mentioned.

Tata currently have 1 patent with us mentioned.

Something has to stick at some point, wouldn't you agree ??

Lots of very interesting articles, posts and links about an impressive technology!
A lot of work and time goes into it, including your research. Thanks for your hard work!!

But how can this be summarized briefly:
Where will we be with Akida in two years?

 

[Gazzafish]

The Samsung family hub fridge can identify 33 different food types when you put them in the fridge. I know it’s probably not Akida but with Akidas one shot/ few shot learning, why wouldn’t you use Akida and offer a fridge that you can train from a single photo what your new food type is so it can identify it from then on. Therefore it would identify virtually EVERYTHING you put in or take out. It’s a no brainer to me ..

 

[CHIPS]

email with your details etc enquiries@boardroomlimited.com.au

And what about the Germans? Why can't they participate though highly invested?

In two years? Man, I don’t know about you but with akida I will be for sure still here where I am. Just hopefully with a LOOOT MOOOORE MONEEEY in my bank account! Yeeeehaaaa

More money on the bank account does not mean more money in your depot because of higher share price.

So, what do you and others think?
Will be a breakthrough of Akida on the market?
And if so, will the breakthrough within next two years?

Nice idea!! Sounds promissing!!

One question regarding one shot learning and naming of the stuff to put in the fridge.
Does the customer has to name it by keyboard?

The fridge has a touch screen on the front and internet connectivity. Easy to simply type a name in

How does the fridge handle new stuff, today?
Is fridge communicate with cloud AI?

I aked co pilot who has commercialised cloudless AI at the Edge.
The answer was Brainchip, Aarna Networks and Cloudflare.
I looked up Aarna and Cloudflare and both actually still use the cloud. You could easily get the impression that they are cloudless if you were not aware of Brainchip.
Interesting.

I strongly believe this is a typical case of “lost in translation”. What Loïc Cordone really wanted to express (although he seems to have wrongly translated this into English from his native French) was most likely that BrainChip had claimed something, NOT that they had pretended! Big difference!

[While this box contains two spelling mistakes, it doesn’t concern the accuracy of the statement about this pair of false friends. The author uses the accent aigu (é) correctly on the prefix in prétendre and prétend, but at the same time incorrectly, when he/she writes preténdre twice, just in case anyone wondered…]

Maybe you should dig a little deeper, before making such a statement?

Firstly, you are doing this guy an injustice by alleging he is “almost a perpetual student”. After graduating with a “diplôme d’ingénieur, mathématiques et informatique” (which is equivalent to a Master’s degree) in 2019, he did a PhD on Bio-Inspired AI at LEAT (Laboratoire d’Électronique, Antennes et Télécommuncations), a joint research unit between the University of Nice-Sophia Antipolis (renamed Université Côte d’Azur in 2019) and the CNRS (Centre national de la recherche scientifique), while working as a researcher at the Renault Software Factory (October 2019 - January 2023). Such industrial PhDs are quite common these days.
Since April 2023, he has been employed as an ML researcher in the field of GenAI at Shift Technology.
“Almost a perpetual student”?

Secondly, when Loïc Cordone defended his PhD thesis in mid-December 2022, the BrainChip video he refers to in his thesis (which he had obviously submitted even earlier that year - there is normally a timespan of at least a couple of months between PhD thesis submission and defense) was just over a year old (BrainChip Demonstrates Smart Automotive, Oct. 2021), and he was factually correct when commenting on the lack of peer-reviewed papers by fellow researchers who had used Akida (and thus the lack of benchmarking of neuromorphic hardware that included Akida) at the time.
You, however, unfairly judge him as if he had written his PhD thesis in 2024.


The way I see it, Loïc Cordone’s verdict on Akida is not at all what you think it is. He did not intend to accuse BrainChip of lying about Akida’s capabilities, but instead included Akida in his table on neuromorphic hardware at a time when a lot of other academic researchers wouldn’t have mentioned BrainChip at all in their papers.

He then went on to say “These different neuromorphic hardware represent exciting and promising leads for the implementation of neuromorphic process toolchains…”. Which included Akida.

https://theses.hal.science/tel-04026653v1/file/2022COAZ4097.pdf

IMO it all makes sense when we simply blame the native French speaking author (and those who possibly proofread his thesis) for not paying enough attention to the false friends prétendre vs to pretend, when writing his thesis in English.
All in all - the way I see it - he was actually positive about Akida, presenting it in a table with other, much better researched neuromorphic hardware at the time (2022).
